Asetek Waterchill Antartica Watercooling - Page 3 - The CPU block

Asetek recently released a new all-in-one kit. The WaterChill Antartica. The primary function of this kit is cooling down the three most hot items in your PC. That would be the CPU with Socket 478, Socket A, Socket 754 and Socket 940, the graphics core of your videocard and what many users forget about, the mainboard chipset. So, in the package we received we can make note of two pure copper waterblocks namely for CPU and VGA.

The CPU block
Attachment of the blocks is quite simple. First off you need a mainboard with drill holes around the CPU. Most of them have it, some don't. Check that before buying a watercoolking kit. You simply insert four screws from underneath the motherboard, which are then then twisted onto the screws until the waterblock sits flat and tight against the CPU.

When you look at the pipes you'll notice three of them. The middle one is the inward flow. It is basically in the middle because it is aimed at the core of the silicon. Cold water goes straight for the core. The two pipes on the outside are responsible for removing the heated water.

This Antarctica CPU waterblock has been designed for maximum performance and of course overclocking. Asetek states that the new Antarctica model is capable of removing at least 200W of CPU-heat.

Processor wise Intel P4 (Prescott included) and AMD Athlon XP, FX and 64 processors are supported.

 No need to lap the base... it was mirror finished and nicely protected by wrapping plastic.

These Pentium 4 CPUs these days are getting rather hot. Why not watercool it ? The kit we received from Asetek is pretty much their best kit. It's called the KT12AT-L30/220V/Dual Radiator Socket LGA755 kit, a CPU/VGA/Chipset kit. We opted the version with thick 1/2" tubing for optimal flow. Next to that the kit has the heavy Hydor L30-II included, a pump that can push 1200 liters of water per hour.

To get me over that weird idea of water in a PC I figured, what the hell ... if you fall of a bike you need to get back on it right. With that approach I've been in dialog with Asetek. Asetek ladies and gentlemen is as stated a very reputable company in cooling material. Luckily for me they recently released their WaterChill Antarctica CPU+VGA kit.
