Alright then. A month or two ago when we started assembling Project-X, I figured we needed to get ourselves a nice looking water-block. I like the UV shine and looks a lot. In the past we have used items from Alphacool, and Alphacool was one of the first out there to have a water-block ready for Nehalem socket 1366 processors (Core i7). These guys are the pro's .. really as they research water-flow, dynamics and everything that is going on inside that water-block to ensure heat dissipation is optimal and efficient.
They will offer several selections in water-blocks, hover since I like UV a lot and sine I like to see the actual water-flow running over that nice copper block, I had my eyes on their NexXxoS XP Bold HighFlow CPU Cooler for Socket 1366 with a plexi-glass cover, see through.
A see through design, that is very efficient. And it should be since we are cooling AND overclocking our Core i7 965 processor towards ~3.8 GHz based on nearly passive cooling in order to keep the noise levels down, now that is quite a challenge. The Alphacool NexXxoS XP HIGHFLOW cooling block has 53 nozzles that according to Alphacool enable a very balanced distribution of coolant to the heated area. Then by eight backflow channels that heated coolant will be quickly transported away to the radiator. Yep, this stuff is science man.
The 8 backflow channels are optimized over the pin structured base plate so to enable the fastest possible water flow through the cooler.
This water-block is a highflow model, which gives you you the possibility of an extremely elevated flowrate of the coolant, thus dispersing the heated coolant much more quickly and efficiently, with less stress on the pump.
Technical Data:
- Flow rate: 4,9 bis 5,0 l/m, 294 bis 300 l/h
- Nozzles: 53
- Backflow Channels: 8
- Weight: approx. 0,300 kg
- Structure: Cooper / Plexiglas Röhm / Degussa
This product is high in demand already and rather hard to get. The price, expect roughly 45 to 50 EUR. From here on let's just move onward to a photo-shoot. Should you by the way be interested in learning more about the cooling solutions we use, the Reserator XT from Zalman, please read this review we did last year.
Alphacool HF 38 Niagara Intel Core i7 CPU water block review
There aren't that many companies out there that offer liquid cooling products which you can purchase separately. There's a handful of them. One of them is the German based Alphacool. Recently they introduced a new CPU block called the Alphacool HF 38 Niagara. This new water-block is designed for Socket 1366 processor, aka Nehalem aka Core i7. A high-end liquid cooling CPU block priced fairly. Let's check it out.
Alphacool NexXxoS XP Core i7 water block review
In this article we test the Alphacool NexXxoS XP HIGHFLOW Core i7 CPU water block. We will apply a nearly passive water-cooling kit to it and observe installation and temperatures. Since we could take a Core i7 965 processor up towards an overclock of 4 GHz we'd say this ia a very succesful product from the guys over at Alphacool.
AlphaCool External 240x128 Display
Today we are testing this cute External LCD-Display with the colossal 240x128 Pixel dimensions. Now that by itself is cool, but the software controlling the unit is where the magic happens. You can display pretty much any system info, yet it goes way beyond that. RivaTuner is supported, Fraps, Mainboard Monitor (MBM), SpeedFan and it does not stop there.
Alphacool Ready2Go Stacker (Passive)
Alphacool can deliver pre-fitted and modified PC Cases with water-cooling (prefilled and leak tested) installed. Today Guru of 3D will test the Coolermaster Stacker Silver with preinstalled water-cooling from their Ready2Go series of products. Pretty much install your components and you are good to go. The beauty of this beast is the fact that it is passive water-cooling, the only thing connected to the power circuit is an inaudible pump. That means this system just does not make any noise, at least not that we can hear.
