my coverage of copy text 2018 is brought to you by gigabyte Coolermaster team group and Thermaltake guys I'm over at alpha cool they make water cooling parts for custom cooling loops and normally I'd be like I'm going to come here and show you some new products that they have but if you remember my thread Ripper build project Riptide in the Corsair 1000 deed massive $10,000 system I promise you guys I'd be water cooling that's alpha cool is going to be supplying the parts so I'm here to go shopping so let's start with reservoirs alpha cool has a wide selection of these and they're all copper I should mention everything that's metal that alpha cool makes is copper and these are actually a single piece of copper so when you hold the reservoirs like the base of them they're incredibly heavy which I'm happy about because that means they're quality which I'm also kind of afraid of because the system's already insanely heavy and it's going to get heavier that's okay I'll invest in a dolly everything will be fine now since I have the water theme the slight blue accent theme I think what we're gonna do here let's go with the helix helix as badass I'm probably gonna go with maybe the black cap and then still do like the blue interior for like the fluid to go through I think that would look really cool and I'm gonna have two of these side by side because I'm going to do two separate loops how cool is a wide variety of pumps and pump reservoir combos well I've already decided in the reservoir for the pump I'm gonna go with the Defiant variants tread the DDC it makes a little bit more noise and I want this to be as quiet as possible so go with a couple d5 probably going to go with the standard mount here and I might actually separate the pump from the reservoir but that still remains to be seen I was able to took a look at this combo unit right here this it's got a reservoir on top and a pump on the bottom the top is actually made of a nylon and apparently it's indestructible maybe though this is a crazy $10,000 over-the-top build I'm trying to make it functional so I decided I'm gonna go soft tubing that's right stop tubing and I kind of like what they have here it's a sort of semi opaque so even though I'm probably gonna also use just standard water for the fluid and not diet at all cuz I don't have to worry about blocks getting messed up with dye or anything like that it still has a sort of a refractive property so I think it'll look good since I got lots of RGB LEDs in the case I think it'll pick up on the tubing and look pretty nice as for fitting sales have a wide variety of different color options different anodized metals it's all copper of course still I think I'm gonna stick with black I want to keep things simple a fairly industrial look and a really cool thing that they had is quick disconnect so when I'm quick disconnects on all of the vital parts so that if I need to remove the CPU water block to maybe upgrade to the thread refer to in a couple months I can do that without too much insane level difficulty the quick disconnects they have are made of copper as well also having also very durable not even like spring-loaded when you release them they kind of pop off which is kind of exciting just make sure you don't drop them you know if you get an optin SSD alpha cool now makes water blocks for that yeah water cool your SSD very I don't know what kind of performance increase you get with an obtain SSD and more cooling it but this is a again really solidly designed block very pretty so if you want to show off your SSD 900 feet and go ahead and get one of those I don't have one of those though what I actually need though is a solution for the MDOT two because I'm going to add a second MDOT to be a PCI Express slot that's because I'm using the 2400 G rise in APU which doesn't have quite as many PCI Express Lanes long story short I'm gonna need a riser card and alpha cool actually has these passively cooled riser card it's got a front plate and back plates and an MDOT 2 slot and it's going to be positioned in a pretty nice spot in the case so I'll be able to get a look at this and it will also leave it open so I can still get a look at the Mini ITX build it's at the bottom of the case I think that's gonna work out just great I'm going to allow myself to quickly be distracted by this beautiful build that mike from alpha cool did oh my god this company is EC customs so go to EC customs da PE to see more epic builds like this lots of attention to detail I like the cabling work he 3d princess cable combs it's so hot right now I am now further distracted by this very industrial serious looking alpha cool radiator it is copper but they've nickel-plated everything even all the fins in between so the nickel plating actually goes down in there if you look at it from the side you can't really see any copper they also put stainless steel on the side so you can polish it up and make it look shiny you want to this is a 280 millimeter radiator and it just looks very serious but I'm getting distracted again I digress as Jay might say it's a new product in the ice bear line it's an ice bear extreme and they're actually using a full-on like just this great alpha cool XTX block on there it's also got quick quick disconnects I like what they've done here with the tubing the entire thing is black it's super serious get the job done tight build and they're not conflicting with any ace tech patents because the pump and reservoir is up there built into the radiator it's 280 millimeter radiator but bear in mind you will probably not have standard compatibility with 280 millimeter cases because there is a bit of an extension on the end there but if you're looking for a hefty water cooler expandable to maybe add a GPU block via the quick disconnects this is the ice bear extreme and we're expecting it later this year no exact dates and unfortunately no price estimation right now but it looks pretty beastly Apple has been working on some new blocks some that used some acrylic so you can see through to pretty lights or see if you have colored fluid I think they're doing a nice job on these but since I have a 2 Strix GTX 1080p is I need to stick with what's compatible so this is actually the block from one of their ice wolf or one liquid coolers which has the pump integrated to it right there but it's pretty much the same look this is what I'm going for big fins there's actually a bunch of surface area on there for heat dissipation it is functional and it's pretty and it will match and fit with my graphics cards at least a 1080i version here's some alpha cool block covers for their XTX block now the block isn't specifically made for thread repair and I do have a thread refer CPU but it does have brackets for it and their blocks are naturally large they have a lot of surface area on there so I'm going to go ahead and stick with an alpha cool block for now I'm hoping possibly in the future that's again thread over to might be an option for an upgrade in this build an optical is working on a thread ripper dedicated block so this will be OK for now and then in the future I might upgrade to an shredder per block and maybe also in like a 24 or 32 for 304 to be nice another great moment of distraction how cool is making some RGB LED fans 120 millimeters I've got one with some more diffusion around it up there or are these that you can see the LEDs a little bit more clear yeah I'm going to be doing flexible tubing with my build but I thought I'd at least show you out vocals crazy over the top ice copper tube bending kitten if you're using a PE Tiki or acrylic tubing this is what you need if you want to get into it professionally so there's a massive steel plate at the bottom with a bunch of connection points where you can connect these and you can use those to position wherever you wants and different bending angles it also comes with this so if you happen to get in some sort of injury you need to hack off a limb you know to prevents gangrene or the spread of that that's what this is right and the last thing I'll need to complete the loop is radiators so alcohol has a wide selection of those again all copper and I'm going to be using two 480 millimeter radiators up at the front as well as up at the top but they actually have the largest radiator here that I've ever seen it is a four by hundred and forty millimeters so that's five hundred and sixty millimeter it's 80 millimeters thick it's actually it seems like it's bigger than this awesome build right here that bombed my mods did little mini ITX bill which is absolutely gorgeous I'm having so much fun here cupcakes so I guess this is probably a good place to leave you look at that mod by mods build good job on my mods it's so compact it's so tiny they did such a good job on the cabling the guys that's all the time I have for this video so hit the thumbs up button if you enjoyed it and of course a big thank you to my sponsors for Computex 20 18 gigabyte Thermaltake Coolermaster and team group i have more copy text videos coming at you very soon so definitely subscribe as well if you're not already necks again and we'll see you in the next video
