Bitspower already make monoblock for asrock X299E-ITX/ac,,
the point is that it doesnt have the pump built in

Maybe not entirely appropriate but does anyone else see the *ahem* junk?Update April 8, 2018
RIP prototype V0.1 Just got this image from the CNC shop. The clamp wasn't tight enough and the whole block just flew out when they are trying to profile the edge. Well, gotta try again I guess.

That's what I'm hoping. I know that anodizing cast aluminum won't look good, but the only thing I need from the anodization is that it covers the interior and make it completely insulated.this is the longcat of radiators....
how about normal spray paint? just for the exterior, of course
I would love to, but as I previously discussed in this thread, I don't want to do a big run to attract too much attention.In terms of selling an AIO kit you could probably make it a Kickstarter tier.

As far as I know, Astek might hold several patents related to AIO watercooling which I can not avoid. Doing a big run might put me in legal troubles. So what I will probably do is open small batches for pre-orders (10-15 per batch) and go from there. Still too early to say tho since I'm still waiting for my prototype
I'd honestly be ready to pour upwards of 100$ into that with a moments notice if it performed the same or better as an asetek 545lc. Awesome idea!Your project has actually inspired me to make something of a similar nature, it's still in the very early phases but I'm considering calling it "Hermes"
As you know, the s4m, dancase etc. have severe heatsink limitations for air cooling, most importantly height. This means that if you want an air-cooled 6950x s4m build (Like me) you're totally screwed (if only because there is only 1 heatsink that is compatible lol)
My solution? A custom heatsink, with a similar design to a monoblock. Using 6 6mm copper heatpipes and a lot of dense copper fins that are custom height to the motherboard (30mm total height with direct connection to the vrms) + a 15mm noctua fan I think it could cool the vrms and cpu extremely well.
Obviously it's not cost effective (about $80 in raw materials for a consumer) or mass marketable (needs to be specifically redesigned for every mono) but I honestly think it's the best option for air cooling.

Sounds nice! If you need a helping hand hith anything, just PM me... I've done a lot of CAD work, and I know quite a bit about the business side of it too Oh yeah, and I have a z270iThanks man I'd like to make a model for the z_70i mobo line as well because Asus seems to not change it between generations and it's pretty popular.
