EKWB Active Backplate and Corsair XG7 retest

Today Kitguru modder James Dawson gets his hands on the new EKWB Active backplate and tests the performance on an Nvidia RTX3080 graphics card.

Additionally, after his last roundup of water blocks (see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjakYMT76jg) , Corsair were not too happy with the results against EKWB and Alphacooler and sent him two additional water blocks to retest with.
