Can the block be installed vertically? That way I'll never need to worry about the compatability.
Production Aquanaut Basic/Extreme - Ultra Low Profile CPU Block & Pump Mount Combo
- Thread starter Nouvolo
- Start date
Good news here!
I just recalled that ROG Ryujin has a extremely huge water block (100*100*70). And it's on the support list of ROG X570-I! Also I can see that the heat sinks on both B550-I and X570-I are the same! That means we can reasonably expect the ROG X570-I fits!
@Nouvolo just notice you have this picture on the product page for the Aquanaut AM4 version
I want flip the block so the ports are on the RAM side instead of rear IO side, any reason not to do so?

You can flip the port side to the RAM. Up to your own config.@Nouvolo just notice you have this picture on the product page for the Aquanaut AM4 version

It seems OK but I think that will make it harder to fill the loop or route your tubes (the inlet is at the downside now).@Nouvolo just notice you have this picture on the product page for the Aquanaut AM4 version

I'm going to use Alphacool TPV 12.7/7.6 90 degree fittings there, would be tight, but still doable I think
Remember to install the angled fittings before the pump. With pump installed, there is not enough room for the angled adapter to turn into the screw thread.
Did you think that you can give the option to use other aftermarket coldplates?
Like the EKWB Magnitude Flat, or Optimus Cooling, or the Heatkiller IV. All of these are pretty cheap and easy to find!
I am telling this mainly for the AM4 CPU, having the CPU area bigger and the necessity to cover it properly with the fins!

interesting! I would definitely welcome the opportunity to get any of those top cold plates and combine with this top.
@Nouvolo maybe a modder's kit (excluding just the cold plate) for the future?
I am cautious to claim compatibility with other brands cold plates. But I would probably try this with EK-Supremacy or other similar ones. ?
It is my position, as a business, not to claim compatibility or support for product for other brands.
You need to have signed up for this beta stage earlier. I have ordered some now and it may take couple weeks to be ready.
Hello Nouvolo! I'm fairly new to water-cooling, just did my first build earlier this year. Would this work to replace the pump/block shown in this video?
Specifically it's the Swiftech Apogee drive II, and it's nowhere in stock. I'm wanting to do a dual rad build inside my Ncase for after the 3080/3090 releases. Thanks in advance!
Yes, Aquanaut should be able to replace Apogee, but you need to get your own pump for this.
Ok cool. Ty for the reply btw, really excited to see where this goes! What pump would you personally recommend in combination with your product?
Any DDC compatible pumps should be ok. Some go to brands: EK / bitspower / barrow
