#alphacool #watercooling #moddedpc
that server style - watercooled case is crazy, its literally crammed to the gills with hardware and the size of my wardrobe.
Yeah it’s just tech porn. What an implementation of cooling ! So much respect for alphacool.
They are making some great new kit, been following them since the EKWB shenangins - hopefully you get some of this kit in to James to test soon
Yeah. They seem primed to take over Ekwb
Im happy they are covering alpahcool here too
That opening shot with the 12kW rig just set the tone for the whole video. Alphacool hopefully will go from strength to strength.
They have less competition now from Ekwb that’s for sure.
"Those fans are roaring away blowing air to keep the pumps cool." This sentence brought home how serious that setup was.
That ddc pump looks incredible no wonder they seem excited. It’s miniscule
It’s amazing agree 😮
I love it. ❤❤❤
its pretty cool tech man
Yeah its so tiny, hard to believe it can do the job its designed to do
What price is it ? Bet it’s expensive
wow that skeleton
case is mental ! love it !
can cool 12KW of server equipment in one chassis - holy balls!
TH-cam recommended me this channel after watching Steve and Linus computex and I'm so glad I found it, gonna go back to earlier video now to see what I missed
Its a great channel, glad to see new faces over here !
good to hear, welcome aboard.🚝
Same for me too!
As always a great video from you, thanks for your visit :)
Thanks!
Hey there Leo, for the square pump reservoir you asked for enquiries, usually modders like BRO Cooling use those kind of hardware to hide reservoirs on the back of the case for a very clean build. Cheers
Thanks for the input - makes sense !
was wondering what it was for myself tbh
Nice one man don’t know either
I wondered thanks man
oh, I was about to post a question asking, great info !
some utterly fabulous watercooling hardware on show here. really impressed with the innovations
I have vpp apex and yeah - it's beautifully quiet. Worked for a year and a few months, so far it's beautifully quiet.
Very cool rack mounted cooling. Think somehow you'd want to mount all that liquid at the bottom of the rack or maybe on its own just in case. Wouldnt want to give everything underneath a nice shower.
The camera quality was better than recent years
Really good 0:15 that is epic looking.
Superb showing from alphacool. 🤘🏻
@1:15 Most watercooling companies are in the ''server'' side. Thats where the real money is and our gaming PC's are just a very small part.
It’s a wise observation.
Amazing tech from alphacool. We need them more now with Ekwb about to implode.
I’m just about ready to order some new alphacool gear soon. Thanks for coverage
What parts ?
They also sell extern chillers, the small ones you can use them in the neighborhood of the machine(s) that are running, the bigger ones need to be placed in another room, with rubber dampers. A few years ago, I wanted to buy one of these. I still have a supertower from Corsair, the 800D and this case has grommets to use a chiller. But I had problems with USB3 connections, and other little things that weren't compatible with the new motherboards, etc. I wanted to build a server into the case having 6 slots for 3.5" HDDs but with 3Gb/ s SATA, so very outdated. It's a great looking case, though.
Didn’t know that. Pretty cool. What is the product you wanted to buy ? Do they still sell them ?
Great selection of hardware - bravo
Very interesting products! ❤ Thanks Leo!
Glad you like them!
4:16 external pump is my first thought
Fixing the sound at these events must be challenging
Out of all the tech channels I have subbed too, you have done the best coverage of this event.
Thank you
Thanks! We appreciate it
Absolutely blown away by that tiny pump design 😮
It’s impressive.
me too, cant get over how small it all is
I've been using one of the 4u alphacool server cases in my home for about 2 years. They are really high quality.
Yeah they look it - what hardware have you in yours?
@@KitGuruTech I have an old 1950x and xenith extreme motherboard with 128gb ram I use as an esxi server for my home. I have a spare 5950x and motherboard but I can't use it as it doesn't have enough pcie lanes. I have attached to this a dual 10g card, a 4 bay m.2 expansion card which is filled with 1tb ssds along with all m.2 slots on the board populated with 2tb drives. I won a 24 bay icydock ssd caddy from levelonetechs which I put in and populated with 1 and 2tb ssds. I've another 5 bay icydock 3.5" caddy with 10tb drives in it. Its all watercooled with a 360mm rad.
@@KitGuruTech I also bought one of their 7900xtx waterblocks for my sons red devil card. The appear to be much higher quality than EK but I don't like the rounded top where the ports come out so I stuck with EK for myself. I'd love if they came out with a modified top, I'd switch over right away, especially with EK's quality control going downhill the last year.
Leo did a great job in this content, thanks guys
Glad you enjoyed it!
Everything is ok🐻
For some reason really like water blocks. They are just such neat pieces of kit.
Engineering is high level. We all admire that
Great picture🤩
Cant believe we're at the stage where we need liquid cooling for SSDs!
Oh very nice blocks and wc hardware. Ditching Ekwb for my next build.
Yeah sounds like a wise choice given all that’s going on with ekwb
I love your posts so much
I seem to be the only one who loves that Skelton case 😮
We quite like the idea as well, hopefully will get a hands on with one at some point
Amazing 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for showing off the server watercooling. What's the model of that new DDC pump? Flow rate and head pressure PLEASE.
We will get more info.
1,4m and 220L/h
It is just awesome 🥊
I wish I had some money to buy the hardware, but good to see
Isn't the server cooling box element with the radiators going to be quite inefficient? if the first radiator heats up the air, the next radiator would use that hot air and so on. Rather than each radiator using fresh air(cold air). Or am I missing something?
Some pretty nice looking new hardware. Hope to see some reviews
That mini pump. Can’t wait to see that one tested
Really enjoyed this video thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Keep up the good work
With ek going down, glad alpha cool seems to be doing great!
they might bounce back
Time to start saving
It is interesting to read you
Very beautiful
This is so cool!
Thank you
Cool!
Very cool🎉
It was a pretty good show overall, not as good as some previous years though
Wish I could afford some of the goodies on show
6:10 i hear a Polish dude cursing lmao
Oh dear. 😀
Five points
Wow you😁
😄
alphacool is the best. Attention to detail. Superior German engineering.
I assume you have a setup using their hardware ?
@@KitGuruTech Yes. Ghost s1 user with dual radiator setup using their st30 on top as a radiator/reservoir filling point since the st30 has ports on both sides. Small details like that can come in handy even if it doesnt seem obvious why they give options like that to begin with. Also their ddcs pump top has multiple ports to use as well where as most companies only provide two, in and out. Then theres just stuff like the rtx4090 single slot card they came up with. For sfx watercooling, they know what they are doing
After running 5x GPUs on Alphacool blocks in a server, 3x of them leaked within 12 months between the gasket and the top plate, all 5x had machine oil that needed cleaning. Alphacool stuff is low quality. Unfortunately the pro series from EK is about the only decent hardware in the space.
Thanks for sharing
The impeller of that pump is it plastic or alloy?
I doubt it's alloy since it would make it useless for almost half of all water-cooling systems.
@@Jakob3xD Plastic kind of bothers me because it becomes brittle in high temperatures over time
@@philipjfry628 glavanic corrosion would be way worse.
why is rgb considered naturally kitguru -_-
A.I.phacool
Oh dear 🤓
At 7:15 in the video is the statement that Alphacool manufacture their products in their own factory so this must mean that they alone are responsible for their ineffective quality control. In my direct experience, Alphacool are not able to provide properly threaded fasteners with their products, the wiring of their devices is sloppy/fragile and their product documentation is poor, expressing an inadequate grasp of even secondary school physics. There is virtually no chance that I would spend nearly $1000 on any Alphacool chassis.
commercials are 2 minutes long (unskippable), video is 9 minutes long. Do yourself a favour and mute every commercial and minimize windows and wait 3 minutes for actual video to load, then just start from 0:0. You're welcome.
I am loosing my last bit of hope for MSI and now Alphacool with these add-in x8 cards for consumer RGB non-sense.
1. M.2 is small form factor storage format initially used for low power laptops
2. push for higher performance and saving few $$ for manufacturers introduced passive heat sinks with pcie 3.0 drives
3. more performance and hype train pushed more sophisticated heat sinks with pcie 4.0 drives
4. now we have pcie 5.0 and throttle fest with every single drive which doesnt have 25W insanely looking and terribly limiting heatsink by its size or active cooler which could cool whole ultrabook laptop SoC we see how absurd is M.2 with high performance storage
5. industry realizes there is no way forward with 25W controllers so they start making these add-in cards, first MSI with x8 dual M.2 card with active cooler and RGB
6. alphacool joins this hype train with their x8 pcie 5.0 SSDs with their own dual M.2 card of course with stupid amount of RGB and "CUSTOM WATER LOOP!"
Now we have storage format that is lower power by design used for high performance storage that no one asked for pushed by our throats of PC enthusiasts that is completely ruining motherboard layouts making absurd cooling decisions see points 4-6 above. Long are the days of 5-6 PCIE slots available on motherboards of enthusiast segment all that's to this M.2 plague.
These clowns have yet not realized that they made x8 M.2 cards that nobody with existing system from Intel can use or will buy. Either by inability of Intel desktop platforms to bifurcate x8/x4/x4 for simple x8 dual M.2 add-in card without controller, because only AMD's AM4 and AM5 CPUs can do it. Or because of price of build in controller that is extra 50-80 bucks so full x8 card might be good 150-200 USD range with RGB blink. Either way, it is just yet another band aid on fabricated problem which already has simple solution (read bellow) by making ridiculous solution that will cost you precious PCIE slot and price of mid range GPU 7 years ago or 4TB SSD drive.
Alternative exists and it's very good at what is it doing. Long behold 2.5" U.2 format compatible in size with existing SATA 2.5" drives that everyone seems to forgot ever existed. It's here at least since ancient age of PCIE 3.0 standard. U.3 was mistake, due changed pin layout so it stopped the adaptation. Oculink pcie 4.0 was nice try but ruined with yet another cable type for x4 and x8 variants incompatible with U.2 without cable with different connects that were impossible to buy.
At last with PCIE 5.0 there seems to be some reason coming back to storage market. New MCIO cables look pretty promising, but I have only seen them with top of the line server hardware. We need those to stop this M.2 plague as soon as possible because in 2-3 years we will not have anything else on motherboards just M.2 slots. Even GPUs seems to be pushed outside of case for some unknown reason.
Its average sized
Superb stuff on show. The kit of dreams 🥹
glad you enjoyed it !
