Production Aquanaut Basic/Extreme - Ultra Low Profile CPU Block & Pump Mount Combo

[flower]

very interested! would like to try on my Formd T1, currently using air cooling only with a Noctua L12-S

 

[Nouvolo]

Preliminary Test - Aquanaut (v1)

Conditions

• Pump - Barrow SPB17-S-V2, 17W
• Radiator - 240mm ST30 v2 (multi-ports)
• Tubing - Soft, 10/13mm
• Other restrictions - 4x 90° angled adapter used
• Reservoir - not used

Results:
Pump impeller cavity - no restrictions, rotates smoothly
Water block leakage - 100% dry

Flow rate (L/hr, L/min, gpm) : Noise (too loud/audible/quiet)
Edit：
Max: 228 / 3.8 / 1.00 : too loud (rate improves after clearing more air bubbles)
Mid range: 140 / 2.3 / 0.62 : audible
Lowest acceptable flow rate : 100 / 1.7 / 0.44 : quiet

Comments:
I consider the test a success in terms of quality (leakage, dimensions/fitting), and acceptable & within expectation for flow rate, considering I have added 4 angled adapters for restrictions, to better mimic real-life conditions.

Your comments and feedback welcomed. Lets have a vote if its a "Go" for this. Will prepare for small quantities if you guys confirm on this, and lets have more testing done by the SFF forum community ?.

Edit: I have 10 sets on hand at the moment. Quite a few are reserved ?

Like the "testing (original)" post, which you have. Lets give it a week or so to collect names. ?

I think the combo is worth trying and testing. What are the dimensions with the pump?

Standard DDC, any Laing compatible pumps will do. 62(L) x 62(W) x 30-35(H) (depending on your pump casing).
Check first post for this product's dimension

[thelaughingman]

already filled in the form ? this is gonna be lit!

 

[srekal34]

Filled in as well(price is lower than expected btw)
Can the AM4 mounting be retrofitted in the future if I choose Intel now?

The whole set of screws and accessories are different. AMD/Intel backplate use different threads, and also different mounting bracket (of course). That's why we offer them as separate.

Sure the blocks will be the same tho.

Is this compatible with the Alphacool DC-LT ?? If not, what are other options? I am really interested to buy it

 

[dKenGuru]

No. Only DDC pumps.

Sign up rate is great, thanks for your support ?. I think we will cutoff sign up by end of this month (i.e. 31 Aug 2020), so that I can fix the quantity, and not have the sign ups keep waiting.

Note : Current batch may be slightly different from that of final launch version. But I expect very little changes except for critical issues.

Just checked shipping rate, it's gone up a bit due to covid... will be around USD20-35, depending on location. Asia > US > EU (shipping cost in general).

 

[thelaughingman]

@Nouvolo where will this be shipped from? And any restrictions in terms of countries that can be shipped to? this bit is quite critical IMO

I think from Hong Kong.

 

[thelaughingman]

I think from Hong Kong.

if it is HK then shipping cost shouldn't be Asia > US > EU. for reference when I bought the A4 / T1 shipped from TW / CN to Vietnam, both times it costed USD20
