Well I had this block for so long that I lost the box, I also don’t have a specific 2011 mount for it, so I’m reusing the one from the XSPC Raystorm. I included it in the test because I already had it, and I know some people still consider buying the budget XSPC rasa kits.
I believe the rasa has a mirror finish – this has been stained and sitting in the cupboard so long that I gave it a quick sand with 1000 grit before testing:

Conclusion
The Rasa is an old block that is no longer being produced. At the time it was an affordable alternative, however as other blocks have improved the relative thermal performance has got worse. The ports are a bit close, the thumbnuts and mount are a bit fiddly and if you’re saving money you’d be better off with the raystorm.
