It would be interesting to test older water block generations to see the progress. I still use my ek supremacy evo

@Tealc2323 9 месяцев назад

I use EK-Supremacy EVO too and I wish to know if it's worth upgrading.

@spaghettilocomotive 9 месяцев назад

I recently swapped out my Supremacy Evo for the new velocity2+direct die conversion kit for my 12900k, but the block or direct die part was pure garbage, the old supremacy evo cooled better than after delidding and liquid metal. Safe to say I wish I could turn back time and just keep it stock with the old block.

@DerangedCoconut808 9 месяцев назад

I always find EK to be the SnapOn of the watercooling industry. Big money for identical or comparable performance to lower priced products. you are mostly paying for the name just like SnapOn or Matco tools. (old mechanic here, thats the closest analogy i can relate to)

@wudruffwildcard252 9 месяцев назад

EKs answer totally confirmed what I believe what EK does with every product. EK doesn‘t aspire to be the best, their business model is to be the first. Because they know enthusiasts who are the early adopters buy the first available water cooler!

@@Jeff.55649 EK's gone off the rails with their over engineering that doesn't yield better performance and only increases costs. If the performance was there, which it is not, then maybe someone with deep pockets chasing the absolute best would be interested in it, otherwise why pay a $200 premium for a block with mounting and contact issues?

@arkratos3727 9 месяцев назад

@der8auer EN Pleassse do it. I know in a vacuum choosing LTT was the right business decision (assuming they wouldn't mistest it and slander it) but I would love to see Roman's opinion as an engineer. Neither Steve from GN, Jayz2cents, or any other youtube have the machining experience Roman has and that should be one of the main things to be evaluated. Aesthetic finish, fluid dynamics, craftsmanship, performance, and value. I have no clue what gives Linus the right to say it's overpriced when he knows nothing about labor and materials costs in Europe. Roman has first hand experience running a machine shop and would have the best opinion in the tech space on whether the product is priced competitively in an objective sense. I know it will never have 'value' when it's competitors have 1/8 the price, but what manufacturing costs are all things considered and what the profit margins likely are. If I can pay my local machine shop to make the same/similar for me at a more competitive price then they might have a problem.

@Morrigan_DeDesarux 8 месяцев назад

Agreed. Although, as unfortunate as the situation was, it brought a lot of things to the surface along with the Lab's jabs at HUB and GN regarding data collection stuff.

@Dr_b_ 9 месяцев назад

EK is over engineered and overpriced for the performance

@marinipersonal 9 месяцев назад

EK is not too bad. Performance average, design is good, but is waaaaaay overpriced, also quality control is poor. Shipping active backplate with longer screws that wouldn’t fit as desired, cracking the bridge between the blocks (stress), distro with over tighten or not tighten enough, same issue for GPU blocks. Let’s not forget the DOA RGB strips or the flipped jet plates. Apart from that, is fine. 😂

@luckerNo01 9 месяцев назад

Hello, IT? Well, I actually own the Alphacool CORE 1 block, it sits on 14th Gen i9 in Z790 motherboad. And all I can say is, its awsome! It really is! It performs great, keeping the CPU around 60C when playing MSFS2020, which is the most demanding application I am currently using. To be fair, I must say that there is also an Alphacool GPU block on a 3090. And I have a very custom loop with 2 huge 40mm 360 radiators with legendary German Noiseblocker FANs and almost 4 liters of water in the whole loop, pumped with DDC 1T Plus pump. So, plenty of liquid + plenty of cooling capacity = cool and quite components. Great video as usual! Thank you!

@Gregregorovich 9 месяцев назад

That Barrow RGB header is compatible with standard 5V ARGB, if you make (or buy, if they exist) an adapter; looking along the wire (with the wire closer to your eye than the connector), with the pins at the bottom of the plug with the snapped/cut off plastic tabs below it, it maps to left to right 5V, Data, (no gap), Ground.

@rekareaper 9 месяцев назад

I really wish you would test with higher pump speeds as well. I understand why you don’t, but it would be interesting to see the differences.

@GhostPsi69 9 месяцев назад

Theoretical performance vs actual real life performance, also doing max pump speed would allow manafacturers to cheat on flowrate in the blocks.

@rekareaper 9 месяцев назад

@@GhostPsi69 it is actual real life performance for me. I have two loops that I sometimes combine. Each is a MORA3 with an EK Dual D5 pump top that all run at 100%. It isn’t cheating on flowrate to have a block designed for high pressure and high flow, as that’s how you’re going to get the best heat dissipation.

@jjlw2378 9 месяцев назад

I run my pump 100% all of the time. My computer sits a good distance from me and I can't hear it at all. I've never not run a pump at 100%.

@fermitupoupon1754 9 месяцев назад

@@GhostPsi69 how is it cheating though? I mean I vary my pump speed because I want to achieve a certain dT across the radiator, but other than that I see no real reason to do so. If you mount a D5 properly, you're not going to hear it, regardless of pump RPM. My old D5 didn't even have speed control at all, it always ran at full speed. As long as you keep the same pump speed between different blocks in the test, it effectively shouldn't matter what speed your pump is running. Unless a specific block is really designed for slow flow, but then again why would it be, as that just isn't the efficient way to go about it.

@RetroTinkerer 9 месяцев назад

I was told "a while ago" by one notorious tech youtuber famous for its water cooling builds that there was no reason to review custom liquid cooler parts for their performance and a sponsored build was a perfect way to show of the parts. A medium one that used science in his handle also told me hey people build custom water for the way they look, no performance review is necessary. I guess corsair is a big sponsor and a performance review of underperforming parts is always unnecessary. BTW Thanks for the review and for actually testing the parts!

12:20 - theoretically you could restore lost performance of coldplate created by such technology by recrystallization. You could test what difference (if any) would this make - just place it in oven with protective atmosphere at 400°C for a few hours.

The Aquacomputer RGB adapter is 3 euros from their site. At that price it should probably be included, but it's also a nominal expense.

The core 1 looks great and performs very well. I still use an alphacool nexxos xp that I modified to fit my 10850K but its tempting to upgrade. It would be nice to have good mounting pressure as my mounting bracket has a single bolt that presses down in the centre of the block.

i really like the Mounting type of double ended Screwing a Backplate to the Board and then Thumbscrew the Block onto that. it's easy to install/remove, the Backplate doesn't fall off when you take off the Cooler, Et Cetera. it's just the easiest to use IMO. as long as the double ended Screws are large enough to operate with your Fingers, that is.

My favourite block is the Barrow CPU-pump-reservoir combo. Elegant way to fit watercooling into SFF. I’ve also asked why they use a fan cable for their LEDs. The answer, it seems, is simply “it’s a better connector”. Which is true, anything would be better than the actual LED connector, but it feels like it’s only an excuse to sell adapter cables.

@1mouse3 8 месяцев назад

This is a nice test you have going and would add a few blocks you could test as well. These would be the optimus foundation and the old xspc raystorm waterblack, this the raystorm with acrylic frame and I got a metal one to use instead. I got the raystorm 280 kit with a x79 board, do to fluid in the res falling below half and barfing its fluid. I have have been using it for some year, with a d5 aalpacool eisstation instead. Im moving all that to server duty and got a x299 board to replace it, going to used use a 7th gen chip and your direct die kit. I understand this x299 will have a lot more heat to deal with overclocking, so went the optimus block as a possilbe upgrade since is cnc cut.

I haven't watched the video yet, but going to after. One of the things I've been searching for online, and others have been from my search, is a waterblock that is good for, or specifically made for the LGA 1700 socket. I know lots fit it, but they don't all do very well for the coverage. Especially since it's much bigger, as well as a rectangle. The 'best' I have been able to find is something that is good for, compatible with the LGA 2066.
