      Especially since the NZXT hasn't been rated or updated to work with anything beyond the 2000 series of cards. People have to do too much custom work on them now to maybe make them fit newer cards ... and questionable partner variants.

      @@mactep1 way more expensive?
      Choosing your own soft tube, compression fittings and rad and pump/res and block, would be an extra 100-200 dollars over buying a gpu aio from nzxt.
      Pre blocked cards with aios only exist for gpus that are flagship or just under flagship, so we’re talking about 2000 dollar graphics cards, if you are making that purchase based off saving 100 bucks that you really really need, you are unreasonable, you should not be PC watercooling.
      You can also get pre made soft tube kits from Corsair or EK that would be even cheaper than doing your own. In terms of danger,
      The only danger comes from installing the block on the gpu and removing the cooler. You still have to do that on an aio, and you take that risk for a shitty result. You get a pump you can’t switch out, or even turn down the speed for. You can’t maintain an aio at all, you can’t refill it easily, you can’t expand your loop or change its position or change the fluid. So not sure how a real loop is harder to maintain it’s actually way easier. You don’t do maintenance in a gpu aio you just throw it out when the shit asutek pump goes or the fluid level drops and it stops cooling properly.

    Since each USB 2.0 header provides 2 connections, you can also often re-pin devices like this so that two of them share one plug to make full use of the header. They generally only populate one side of the plug. You can just transfer the pins from another device into the empty row.

    $250-$300 list price on the EVGA website though... As a product it's _fine_ . The LCD implementation is good, but that plastic finish is meh. The fans are just no-frills RGB fans. All this would be _fine_ , except that it costs $300. Unless I'm mistaken, this is the most expensive AIO on the market and it's "just another asetek". Like you said, it's okay to be just another asetek, but at $300 the "EVGA part of it" needs to change my world, and honestly, it doesn't. It's just... ok.
    Corsair is cheaper and looks spectacular. Arctic LFII is one of the best performers on the market and costs a third of the price. So where does that leave this? =/

      The Kraken G12 still exists. You can attach any Asetek AIO that has the Asetek mounting system - Including this EVGA one, per 9:30.
      (Control is a bit of an issue - the NZXT ones have a liquid temp sensor in the current gen, which is great except you NEED their software running for it all to work properly. I like dumber AIOs with separate pump and fan control and have had good results with CPU AIOs and my EVGA Hybrid by taping a Corsair Commander Pro temp sensor to the inlet (hot) radiator tank and using that to drive fans.)

    In the digital control of model trains, a single 12V DC power source is used, which is the train track, for several units of locomotives running at different speeds or stopping them. This is achieved by means of simple decoders that receive exclusive signals through the only common line of power. This system could eliminate the problem of cable management and the danger of excessive power consumption on some pins of the motherboard in PC desks.

    it be nice if all the necessary cables are fully modular and coming off the radiator and fans that come with the radiator connect via pogo pins and are magnetic SATA power and pump can be wired to the radiator via the intake outtake tubes of the CPU block to radiator in between the sheath and the tubes.

  • @MrGrimsmith
    @MrGrimsmith Před rokem +5

    I'm with you on the cable side of things, it's one of the reasons I hate RGB. Different reason though, fewer cables makes for less disruption to airflow, means I can get the fans running slower for the same efficiency so the whole system becomes quieter. Thought on the fan shape - if you 3D print a shroud for the fans you should be able to increase the efficiency and remove the gaps. Could be an interesting experiment to demonstrate what difference it makes. I mean, you could also make one from cardboard to be fair but it wouldn't be as cool :)
    Rather than a screen on a pump top though I'd really like a data feed off it that I can move to an external display. Then again, I run solid case sides for noise isolation so a screen *inside* doesn't do me much good...

    I have the NZXT Kraken Z63. I originally thought the screen on it was going to be a gimmick but being able to see my CPU/GPU temps at a glance has been invaluable. Would be nice if they added a layout to put clock speeds and temps on the same screen like this one has though.

  • @SergiosBizzareAdventure

    I think the air leak has more to do with the step between the radiator fins and housing. I do agree that it's probably more mitigated with a full cage fan as it has a better seal than the rounded fans as those usually have shock pads that raise that single point more allowing more air out.

    Well actually you could! An open source fan/RGB software that accepts proprietary profiles as made by the manufacturers yet still consolidates all these different brands into one single control suite. You can have set profiles that function per brand, or have a singular profile that controls everything. Perhaps also add adaptive profiles that only spin up the most relevent fans for certain hardware (radiator fans for CPU, or a side panel aimed at your GPU) that way not all fans respond to one parts heat increase.

Two ram slots mounted vertically on the front, two flat mounted slots on the back in a butterfly configuration. The board itself was almost a half inch thick, but imagine the possibilities of essentially having twice as much real estate to work with.

    As a Linux user, Fractal Design AIO works way better on GNU/Linux systems cause no software/compatibility for the little penguin, and works perfectly (not mentioning the single connection that makes the installation way faster instead of arguing with 100 argb connectors and cables management aswell, sacrificing RGB lights). As you mentioned, having 10 different softwares only to handle how "fancy" the PC will be, it's too much resources for the system (in my opinion), even if we have a beast under the chassis.
