Next Level Water Cooling - BitsPower, Alphacool @ Computex 2016

2016-06-11
my coverage of Computex 2016 is proudly sponsored by fractal design MSI and g.skill alright guys I'm over its power and I've decided to do a video all about water cooling and just some of the water quality stuff that I've seen here at Computex because I've been kind of more into it lately so I had to come by bits power they have some epic builds here some modded systems that are absolutely amazing I'm going to show you a lot of those at the end first off I'm going to head over to a couple other locations so why don't we check out alpha pool continuing my water cooling tool around here at alpha cool they are out of Germany and they have some fun new products so let's start off with this one right here this is called the high Shola all of their product names are in German and I've been having a difficult time pronouncing them so I originally thought it said ice ice whole asshole I don't know anyway basically this is an external radiator 360 millimeter so you get 320 millimeter fans in there it's got a reservoir up on top it's got some alpha cool lighting down at the bottom in blue and you can basically set this up externally if you have a small system and you're doing water cooling and you don't have enough space in there for radiators or you just need more heat dissipation you can grab that and place it somewhere outside your case so there you go next up we have some new fittings these are the eyes popping eyes up eyes is Upton I apologize to any my German viewers for my terrible German pronunciation alcohol was introduced to me by my good friend Jay Jay's too since and I have learned a lot about water cooling from him and he works with alcohol and he has provided me actually some ethical fittings in the past now what he said about them was that they're very rock solid as far as performance he never really had any issues is with leaks or anything like that however he did have some issues as far as the logos that were on them and certain wibbly-wobbly miss so to speak but they're new types of fittings are much much better designed and I'm much much better put together and particularly they have this black finish on them which is very clean and I've got with a laser etching for the logos on them which is going to hold up over time much much better than a printed logo that might go over the top so new fittings from from alpha cool again they're called eyes opt-in eyes happen I mean happy hey here's something that might be a little bit more practical if you don't want to do a full custom loop you can kind of go in between this is the ice bear and these are made for expandable closed-loop cooling so they used unicorn fittings they even have quick disconnects that are integrated there as well these are actually similar to the iceberg coolers that Coolermaster used to have alpha cool actually worked with coolermaster for those in particular they of course have the pumps which is down in the bottom it's got a little clear window so you can see through to what's going on in there and ice and alpha cool has actually added a lights via the alpha cool logo that's on top of each pump / block unit that light will turn off if the pump happens to fail which is very nice feature to have because you can't always tell if you have pump failure and it's something you definitely want to catch really soon especially if you're able to cpu overheating or something like that anyway these have all copper radiators and they're going to be available with 120 millimeter radiators 240 360 as well as 280 and let's take a look at the GPX Pro this is an expandable GPU all in one unit so you get the pump it's actually integrated as part of that large aluminum block there the pump does have a copper block on the bottom the aluminum part is going to go over the GPU and it's going to help keep cool all of the parts that need to be kept cool apart from the GPU such as power delivery VRMs alpha cool already has this available in a ton of different variants for a ton of different types of GPUs they even told me that if you happen to have a GPU and they don't have the design for it available you can send them your graphics card they'll use that to create a 3d model to create a new one and then they'll send you one for free just for helping them out with the R&D by sending them your GPU for them to check out which is pretty nice that the other cool thing about it is that that pump unit at the center can be removed as sort of a standard size so if you happen to upgrade your GPU but you want to keep your same pump and loop you can just swap out the aluminum part drop it on a new GPU and then drop that pump part back in there and you're good to go it's even available in a variety of colors so this is the actual GPU standalone version that we're looking at right here it doesn't come with an all-in-one unit but it still uses that same central copper block / pump so here we have a bunch of different varieties in different colors they have red they have green they have blue you can't order the colors individually you need to sort of group up they do it have to do them a little a little batch I suggested maybe they trim master up for that kind of useful but as we can see here we got a red version it's made for fury we have a blue version it's made for a GTX 970 and we have a large green version that I don't know watch a few that's pork it's for a large GPU and yes it does come with a backplate as well as you can see here in this yellow version very nice some cool water cooling products from alpha cool guys I'm here at Ida cooling and basically I came here because I saw the video that's Wendell and Kane made over here so I'm stealing from tech syndicate well not really but I D cooling they're currently based out in China they actually distributes to areas of Asia South America not necessarily the US although I've heard you can get some of their products from like eBay and that kind of thing anyway though I want talk about the stream series of cases since this is you know my liquid cooling video and these are interesting concepts for liquid cooling Sassy's so the first one we're looking at here is the stream 2 this one is actually in production and mass production basically what they've done is they've taken an aluminum frame chassis this is a similar sort of concept I think to the in wind chassis but what they've done with the aluminum is is they've treated the inside of it and they've routed water cooling through the chassis so there's different channels there's different inlets and outlets so you can pipe the liquid cooling into it'll go over and through to a different area of the chassis and it'll come out and since it's created inside even though it's aluminum you can mix it with with copper blocks and that kind of thing so you're not going to get any mixed metals issues they're just so unique concepts here's another system with the stream one this is available in red of course and again this is the same general concept but now it's in red this is a different shape what do you guys think now honestly I was looking very closely at this because I know aluminum is difficult to work with especially if you're welding the well done here exactly aren't exactly the phrase that I've ever seen this one is actually more of a proof-of-concept so this is the stream core that we'll be at right now this one is also in red this one's mini-itx but you can see power supply drives go down there at the bottom you also have a graphics card in there I think they're using some GPS and stuff from colorful you know stuff again you can't get in the u.s. since this is a based out of China this one has a unique feature though and that it also has a monitor mount so you can position this on your desk put the monitor on the back of it and then people walking by your desk would be like holy crap you have a really cool computer on your desk and finally here's a look at the stream 3 the stream 3 this one's in blue this one's very eye-catching I like the way they have the radiator positions it's right there across the top three hundred and sixty millimeter radiator of course and for this one I actually know exactly how the liquid channels will work basically even though you have these two that are side by side right here it's it's split in the middle so you would go in here and it goes across the top over to the other side or you can get in here it'll go down along the bottom rail and then it comes out right there in the middle and of course the other one from the middle goes over and up the other side Eydie cooling has indicated to me that they are interested in entering the North American markets and they even suggested that they might be able to send me one of these so let me know in the comments section guys if you think it would be cool to build a system with one of one of these streams a cease and let me know which one you think would be best oh one last thing I wanted to point out is the nasals flow indicator down here at the bottom of this one they're talking about doing something to give you a better visual in the actual aluminum tubing itself so possibly maybe a flow indicator or something like that across the top I think that'd be a good idea anyway guys let me know which is easy like this okay nine back over a bits flower as promised and I think I want to start off by sharing a few of the new products first off fittings this part is very known for really high quality fittings they have kind of a new finish on their fittings now it's available in a wide variety of colors and available of course for hard tubing or soft tubing or any kind of fittings you need to go in between any of those I really like to finish on them they do have the bits power logo so it's a little bit more subdued I think which is kind of nice and we've seen these using some of these epic builds that they have around here so I think it's going to be a great option as opposed to the standard finish that we've seen them using for quite some time I also noticed a few GPU blocks that they have here we of course have the reference GT X 1080 water block just came out so great that they have one available here and it's a different sort of variety and we've seen before has sort of a black on there and then the clear acrylic as well you can see through I think it looks pretty nice granite it was behind a glass case so I couldn't really pull it out and get it give it a full once-over but I like it very clean look overall they also did a special version of Emmet for MSI's specific version of the GTX 1080 and 1070 so for MSI's custom PC be able to get those very soon as well since those are actually coming to the market the 1080 should be available from MSI within the next one to two weeks or so I am told now we also have a really really awesome mono block here it's actually a combo block mono block for the MSI godlike gaming motherboard I just saw this and I looked really cool and I like model blocks and I have this motherboard so I'm going to see if bits prior will send me one of these but we'll worry about that later so some pretty cool new products here from bits power but I'm going to end this video as I a couple of the videos of my copy text coverage already with just a montage of some really really epic modded systems I hope you guys aren't getting bored of epic epic modded systems and me showing you montages of them if you are I'm not going to stop I'm just going to keep doing it anyway here's some really really cool systems by bits power they did a fantastic job I want to say one last shout out and thank you to my sponsors for this event MSI fractal design and g.skill give them a thumbs up then click their spots or link down the description down below and hey if you enjoyed my Computex videos let me know I leave me a comment I'll see you guys in the next one No
