At the core of the water cooling system: The CPU water block The new Alphacool NexXxoS XP³ has risen to the top of the water cooling charts (as of September 2012, source: Xtremesystems water cooling charts) and has beaten the competition. The patented cross-slot technology of the popular NexXxoS XP was developed even further, improving both flow rate as well as cooling performance. The water block is compatible with all current sockets on both Intel and AMD Mainboards. Two mounting brackets are included with the water block and can be exchanged without having to disassemble the water block.The motor of the water cooling system: The pump Alphacool has implemented a new concept for pump installation with the DC-LT by enlarging the proven Repack reservoir and integrating the pump into the rear of the reservoir. The DC-LT pump has an impressive pressure head of 2.2m at 12V and is fully functional even at a water temperature of 65°C. The pump has a very low power consumption of only 4.9W and can be connected directly to the Mainboard via a 3-Pin plug, just like a fan. The tank of the water cooling system: The reservoir Having been redesigned, the Repack reservoir for DC-LT pumps is a true optical highlight. Up to four 5mm LEDs (not included) can be integrated to create unique lighting effects within your system. Filling is quick and easy with the top-side filling opening. At the rear, up to 2 DC-LT pumps (only one included) can be installed. This allows for extra pump performance to be added at a later point in time, whilst maintaining whisper-quiet operation. Heat dissipation for the water cooling system: The radiator Alphacool‘s NexXxoS XT45 Full Copper radiators are a completely new development from Alphacool and offer the unique feature of copper fins, copper channels and copper chambers. Up until now it was standard to manufacture only the fins from copper, and all other components from brass. But Alphacool went one step further! As a result, the new Alphacool radiators established themselves as the new standard for high quality and cooling performance in many tests. Depending on the set configuration, different radiator sizes are included (Single, Dual, Triple or Quad). Connection elements in the water cooling system: Tubing and fittings Alphacool utilizes the large 13/10mm tubing size for the Cool Answer kits, allowing maximum flow rates. The “deep black” fittings in combinations with the clear tubing create an elegant high-end look. The other components included with the Cool Answer kits are coolant, fans and an ATX bridging plug. The proven coolant CKC Cape Kelvin Catcher is used undiluted and filled directly into the system. For the radiators, suitable quiet fans are included. During the first filling of the cooling loop, the ATX bridging plug can be used to start the power supply without turning on the computer to allow the pump to run for de-aeration. Mounting and expandability After installation of the CPU water block reservoir and radiator, the included tubing must be cut to suitable lengths (e.g. with a tubing cutter or Stanley knife, not included) and installed. Additional components such as mainboard or graphics card water blocks can always be integrated into the cooling loop later. Hence the Alphacool Cool Answer complete cooling kit is the ideal starting point for a successful start into the world of computer water cooling. We offer three different types of kits: Economy, Business and First Class. Just as in air travel, each class has its very own appeal! Of course each class offers exceptional value, meaning that you will of course get more performance when spending more money. Every user should always think about what is planned with the cooling system and choose a suitable system accordingly. Fusion Thermo: ready for air and water cooling With its sharp ROG style, the ROG Fusion Thermo is more than just a VRM cooler: it combines a 100% copper watercooling channel with electroplated nickel barbs and an integrated heatpipe, all wrapped in air-cooling fins. With the choice of both water-cooling or air-cooling, Fusion Thermo delivers the ultimate add-on to achieve that OC advantage. See moreInstructions for mounting:Download. |
