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

[Valantar]

such meme!

Come on, make one! You know you want to! You can probably get cheap vinyl skins made that will fit perfectly - you have all the design drawings after all. Come on, do it! Please? (Yes, this is clearly more important than your other work! )

Of course, the best case scenario would be a collab with EK for custom-colored Torque fittings for each design.

And the design opportunities are endless! There has to be some Star Wars robot that can be adapted. (Or, god forbid, Jar-Jar?) Mrs. Potts from Beauty and the Beast? Sebastian from The Little Mermaid? Nemo? The dog from Up? I'm sure Disney are open for a collaboration

will post on nouvolo website as fan art when launch

Anyone will be interested in a Al (black) DDC pump cover? (~6mm height)
for your reference, pump body is ~24mm (excluding impeller)



Update : seems casing is different for different brands e.g. EK vs Barrow vs bitspower, etc all slightly different...

If it functions as a heatsink, I would consider it
Just voicing my interest in the Extreme version.
Is there a measurable difference in performance between the combo and extreme?

That would be my concern as well. Most DDCs have natural convection style fin arrays, but if thermal testing shows similar performance this definitely looks better.

Now that I'm super interested in.

I like the concept and idea of having a display, but the displayed metrics are near useless to me. The flow rate is merely simulated and not a reflection of real flowrate, and everything else is simply a derivative of the incoming voltage.

Ideally it would actually measure water temperature, and an actual flow rate. These two parameters govern everything about liquid cooling.

You know its not the real flow rate meter right ? Agree with @For_Science
The only real flow meter on the market is Aquacomputer Highflow 1/2. Rest is garbage.

That makes sense, seems the extra height can just fit the screen and its electronics, but not the flow meter rotor for actual measurement.

A typical flow meter rotor :

Any updates on a preorder or when this will be available? Itching to get this system up and running

Also wondering how mounting kits for upcoming alder lake will be made available? Will they be available to order as a separate part?

development on schedule, and should be ready this month

Would it be possible to run side ports as in and out and closing the other ports? Or any plans of basic cpu block with side ports?

Ahh a fellow low profile aficionado... The only basic block with side ports I've found is the XPX 1U: https://www.aquatuning.us/water-coo...lphacool-eisblock-xpx-1u-black-acetal-version

Yeah

I'd rather buy this block and have the option to choose whatever.

Especially another place to place your pump...

This and the Aquanaut are completly different.

For sure! Just figured that @FiftyFifty was looking for the lowest profile CPU block since he asked about side port only config.

 

[Nouvolo]

Yeah

If you are just looking for a block, Aquanaut is not your product. You are much better off just get a common water block, probably cheaper. . LoL you are not trolling, I hope

Hehe not trolling. There are very few cpu blocks with ports on the side.

Eagerly awaiting this release!!!! Hope development is going well and still slated to be ready this month! About how many will be available in the first run do you think? Want to get one early, I have a custom loop waiting on this as an upgrade from my old aquanaut, since I switched to Intel and only have the AMD older version.

Still waiting for cold plate delivery before going into packing. Will probably open to ordering in Sep and shipment (hopefully) in early Oct. May need couple weeks extension due to late delivery of cold plates.
