bill its coverage of copy text 2019 is brought to you by fantex Coolermaster gigabyte enter max team group NZXT and corsair to learn more about our sponsors click on the links below Bertha ek booth and my god look at this look at this guy this is an in win 909 heavily heavily modified by one of their one of the reps Joe he did a fantastic job absolutely beautiful this thing's blowing my mind it's actually been modified to the point where that he actually widened it so he could cram more goodness into it look at this distro Block in the back acrylic distro block that spans the entire I mean it basically is the entire motherboard tray totally nuts of course using lovely ek hardware you can also see that we have dual for ATS there's a 480 here and a 480 on the other side both mounted simultaneously there's also dual D 5 pumps the best best on the market just below here those are running in serial got the GPUs running in parallel these brand new very precisely machined fittings look really cool if my camera focus boom and I also like the little color ring you see it it looks like the the tubing goes through and you can see the tubing through it that's actually a colored ring that's gonna be customizable you can choose between a variety of different colors it's a very small detail but it kind of makes a huge difference when you know you've got him throughout your entire system if you're really trying to go for that custom look I should also mention that they're considering bringing this to market so that people can actually buy this they're still deciding on what kind of setup it's gonna come with if they're gonna include the water blocks or the radiators the distro blocks and so forth but I hope it does come to market so that we can see more custom builds inside of this beautiful case moving on here we have the quantum line the quantum line is they're sort of top-of-the-line premium family of products so you've got everything from monoblocks CPU water blocks GPU blocks pump brass for us this design so you've got that same custom color ring option at the top 3-year reservoir tube and then kind of a see-through option here pump in action additionally we've got some very nice-looking blocks here this is a vector Strix model as you can see I believe they're still gonna have the s key and P offerings for the radiators depending on if you need thinner or thicker ed rads we also have their classic line which is they're a bit more entry-level or I should say more affordable range of custom liquid cooling Guard wear but what I've been told is that there are not really skimping on the actual quality or the cooling performance here but more so just attention to detail lights just went out that's necessarily fine who needs RGB anyway they're really just changing the machining process to be a bit cheaper and more affordable so piece of the the cooling difference for the GPU block for example is within margin of error it's it's a negligible difference which is actually really exciting if you don't have the additional coin to get into high-end liquid cooling this definitely gets your foot in the door a lot faster and the block still look very nice I mean as a supremacy look here you can tell that there's some my new differences in the design compared to the quantum but still very very nice I love a look at these radiators and then we have lignum lignum is their wood series which is going to be definitely more expensive just because of the ridiculous craftsmanship that's gone into making these blocks this is pure solid walnut this is genuine wood this is not faux wood this is the real deal people see if you blocks fittings the fittings just everything feels fantastic and this GPU block together inside of the build such as this one I just looks absolutely phenomenal if you're trying to go for more of a more modern look I don't I don't know what you've got organic it's definitely an organic look no word on pricing I just know it's gonna be a bit more than you've come to expect from good ol ek these are the new magnitude blocks these are a bit on more high inside a definitely high-quality and they're gonna be shipping with those four flavors that you just saw now eventually they might plan to release different colors like the ones you see here so you can kind of customize the color and stuff but I think the real real main selling point here is how they've actually done B the fin so on the copper plate here you can see compared to like the supremacy and you can see the fins are much wider a lot more surface area here the pitch has been improved and in just the way that the water is flowing across the entire the entire surface is going to lead to 80% more surface area compared to supremacy so obviously the price is going to be up but temperatures are gonna be way down this is a completely custom built by the same same person who did the inland 9:09 that we just showed and it's really kind of ingenious how they did this so if you kind of look here it's for starters very reflective and an absolutely gorgeous machining but you can see that as monoblock is just one two and then the GPUs which are in SLI and be linked also just one tube so how does this all work I was kind of scratching my head for a while until the guy explained it so you've actually got water coming into here and then from there it sort of splits it kind of goes you know half of it goes to this this top card the other half goes to the bottom card permeates those two blocks and then it goes back into the card where it it actually makes its way down to the vrm and cpu block because they're connected as one thing I missed they're actually connected here so the water then goes here and then it finally goes back in here where it gets circulated through the pump and reservoir radiator and then and that's pretty much the loop so this is just conceptual this is just a passion project and showing kind of what's possible in the future for custom water coins so if you're into the enterprise sector then you might be interested in something like this assuming you have a bajillion dollars we have like what is one two three four five six seven Quadro cards and kind of a very nice organic look here look at all that tubing just laid out into this manifold all goes into this manifold this is all custom-built and they're gonna be a custom building all of these depending on their client's needs these are all tailor-made to the client these are all quick-disconnect supported so if you need to swap out one of these cards you can easily do that a lot of enterprise clients might not need seven Quadro cards at first or maybe they don't have the coin for that so they start off in a few and they can easily add in more down the line with those quick disconnects additionally it makes troubleshooting a lot easier because you know one of these cards goes down you pretty much remove one in a matter of seconds and continue using the system effectively as we all know an enterprise downtime is the double you're hemorrhaging money at that point so anything you can do to make that process a lot simpler is pretty pretty crucial
