The pumps are ready!!
BTW, the Bitspower Touchaqua S1 PMW is the loudest pump of the DDC types! And is taller!

Prototype Free Flow CPU Pump Block
- Thread starter Wahaha360
- Start date
Looking forward to an approved prototype hitting Optimum Tech's desk. Just watched the original T1 prototype vid again (cause I can't wait for that to release) and didn't realise this gem was hidden away at the end of that. Keenly anticipating the release of both
hopefully strong T1 sales is a good indication of interest for this solution as well ?
It would be good to use in many sff cases!
Can we have an update? Really want to know how long until it'll be available for purchase.
A very exciting project. Would be great if this were available as an alternative to the AD2 when the new cards come out later this year.
Saw this press release from BarrowCH earlier
It looks much too tall for most SFF cases, but if you have the height available, this may be a decent alternative to the Apogee Drive 2 which is always out of stock.
I'm still waiting to see if this Freeflow project becomes reality due to the much lower height
ITX case water cooler, Barrow pump case integral CPU cold head allows ITX case to experience the violent heat dissipation of split water cooling_BARROW 水冷智造专家
ITX case is popular for players to try to smaller but no less performance, came within the ITX case on cooling, ventilation, and a series of problems of high performance hardware players wanted, but limited to the narrow space of the intern

The product listing on aliexpress for this has the dimensions. This one is simply too tall.
Really looking forward to see how this project develops because a lot of manufacturers just don't seem to be interested in making low profile pump+block combos.
Perhaps it's cheaper to manufacture, perhaps it's better performing.

That's the version with flowmeter wich is useless inside a sff. there's another version without flowmeter.
But still, even if you remove the 10mm of the pump sticking out, you only have left 16mm to the 70mm limits of a lot of ITX case.That's the version with flowmeter wich is useless inside a sff. there's another version without flowmeter.
This is basically meant for the NON Sandwich style ITX case I guess.
You're right . on this barrow i like the integrated reservoir and the third "fill" hole,but this come at a cost of increased height and therefore is not suitable for a sandwich layout case.
i'm considering buying this one for my M1, but i'll wait a couple more months to see how this project goes.
It's a shame Barrow doesn't list the height to the ports, as that is IMO more interesting than the pump height. Most fittings would likely end up sticking out past the pump even on the version with the flow meter. Guess someone with some CNC chops could make a modified port block with side ports for this? Still, I want a FreeFlo.
@August did some tricks and found the port height is around 53mm

In the graph it says prototype 2 is at 480 L/H. Does this mean you achieved it, or is that a projection?
It is not possible with CPU block. I removed the chart to prevent confusion.
Ive been eagerly waiting, but all the custom block projects seem to take ages to lift off. Ive also (more or less) finished a design of my own. It'll be more specific for AMD AM4, with the in/out above and below the socket, in between the mounting screws. Got my first quotes and was shocked by the pricing. 340 euros for the copped base, 120 for the acetal top. And you still need a 40 euro cold plate, some diy o rings, and preferably get the copper nickel plated. Will be checking different cnc companies now...
Unless you're making a large batch of like 100-200 units, it's always gonna be very expensive to get a one-off CNC piece.
Unless you can stand to lose 3-400 euro on your block, I'm a hard pass at that price... Design might be affecting the manufacturing cost?
