i love it. I think this is cool. I can finally use again one of my rads without getting crazy. Now please do one for GPUs

I recommend using LEPA xtreme 240. I like it and its customizable can use any rad you want but comes as a set and its cheap! only couple degrees different from corsair but is half the cost.

70 LPH that's around same what Asetek pumps do or pump is used in most CLC/AIO from Corsair, EVGA or NZXT etc Hard to say how this will perform as similar pump is used on Eisbaer and this does perform pretty similar to most of AIO 70 LPH is just not enough, 120-155LPH will be more than enough Hope this helps Thanks, Jura
70 LPH is enough for a single CPU in normal condition, but it is less noisy than Asetek pump, and permit to use unconventional radiator, or better one than those used in AIO. Also you can use custom tube to get more silence or more heat transport. (for those who use normal WC their custom D5 are exeptional)

I am using the Alphacool Eisbaer (Solo) with Alphacool NexXxoS XT45 Full Copper 240mm now since 30 nov. 2018, and it's a ok cooler. My Intel Core i7-5775C is OC to 4.0GHz at 1.180v and he never gets higher then 67c, and that with Prime95v294b8 running on In-place large FFTs (maximum power consumption, some RAM tested), and running 30 minutes and at a room temp of 23c. It will run good in a custom loop, and very handy if you have a small PC case.
Same here i was using the normal black one with single pass 120mm and twin 80mm on my HTPC with my Pentium 3258 @ 4,7... never been more than 65°c

That are good temps, what is the voltage you use to OC your CPU?
i don't remember but it was still in the Intel spec voltage (also was lucky as with Intel fan i was able to reach stable 4.3 Ghz)... let me get a PSU to check the value (as i just have replaced it with an Athlon G200)

this is a quality product. i've used the last gen on my nephew's gaming rig, along with the (over time) addition of two 280mm rads. they sell drip-less quick release pre-made tubing runs. and they made a gpu block for Vega with the pump built in... great idea which i didn't buy.

Agree there, for small cases or where is no place where to put normal cylinder reservoir this Alphacool Eisbaer Solo is perfect but if you have place for pump and reservoir then I would do that rather than this Alphacool NexXxoS are low restriction radiator which I used few times, I would recommend rather HWLabs SR-2 radiator but that's my view there Hope this helps Thanks, Jura
i agree with you. i went to HWLabs for my threadripper rads... they're the nicest i've seen or used.

Aha ok, your using a quad core CPU now??
no the Athlon GE 200 is a 2 core with Vega 3... but with a TDP of 35W. I cool it with passive cooler, with a passive SFX PSU only one 120 fan is needed for the whole system and it isn't too hot, i will see with time. Hard to get AMD part but it is a nice replacement for HTPC.

ok i have checked : 1,2 V 🙂

Im using this as part of the eisbär 240 aio, it performs better than H100i v1 (with v2 rad), and i get similar temps with the 3770k that i got from 400l pump with 3/4 tubing, xspc block (less flow resistance than this/xpx block) and a passive resorator and almost 2gl of coolant. On my new 3600 it still performs better than the corsair Pump/block is better than asetek aio designs, and except corsair aio (5y warranty on anything that breaks if it fails), I wouldn't get any other brand, even if cheaper. But vs other pump/block combos its just ok, and there are better options, as long as you're not limited by budget/space.
