special thanks to our sponsors be quiet lien leave you sonic fan takes and deep cool for sending us to CS 2019 what is going on everyone we are here in the Alpha cool suite at the Mirage the first time we've been here for CES and this is actually giving our last videos but we've saved some good stuff for the end so we're gonna start off with some of the stuff that alpha cool is currently offering this first here is the ice bear extreme now it's based on a two hundred eighty millimeter radiator but what they do is they package all of this basically everything you'd want in an AR bowl and a IO or a custom loop into this big package right here it's extremely heavy I'd say in the realm of maybe fifteen pounds or so so you've got the two eighty mil rat in here and then you have two silent wings three 140 mm fans built into it and then up top you also have space for the reservoir so you actually fill this thing up with your fluid as well as a pump so this is basically an all-in-one potentially custom cooling kit if you really want to get fancy with it all these fittings basically orgy quarter which means you can pretty much use this kit with anything you can pick your own CPU block if you want you could even connect these to graphics card blocks and you can get more tubing for this kit so you can run a full-on custom loop so it's actually extremely versatile and that's a great thing about this now it's not gonna be cheap I pretty sure if I recall correctly in the realm of like two to three hundred bucks but again if you think about how expensive custom cooling is in general it's really nice to have this just one single piece here that pretty much does everything for you it's gonna be taking up quite a bit of space though so makes you have a case that's big enough to house it's gonna be above 280 mm slightly wider dimension and it is much longer as well much taller because you have so much space up top for the reservoir so this is just what I wanted to start off with overclock a that's the best of CES Award for 2019 and I can see why because it's a Haas it's the ice bear extreme the name describes it beautifully and yeah I'm actually going to get my hands I want to be soon and test it out first hand see how just how efficient and how well this thing cool something like say an i-9 9900 k now this is the ice block for the r-tx 2080s and 2080 t is it's looking really good this comes in a variety of different flavors but I like this one the most because you got this plexi cutout here so you can see the fluid moving through the block and also see it back plates included which is not something you see from every other water cooling manufacturer and another thing about this one is a pretty sweet selling point is the fact that the back play actually sits flush with the rest of the block so when you look at it from this angle from the left side you can't even tell that there's a back back plate on there just because it is again synced up so flush with the rest of the block so this is beautifully engineered and whenever we throw another custom loop together I think we're gonna build Lisa a custom loop here soon this is what I want to use for her build now I want to show you guys a few mods Mike from PC customs put this one together I like following Mike on Facebook here I get to see his progress over time and this one is absolutely beautiful I got a thing for purple builds a purple coolants looking really nice it's opaque and then we also have the isobaric stream in here now you can actually buy the solo Ice Bear Xtreme we didn't say that earlier but if you want just the radiator housing which will also include the pump as well as the reservoir then that's really all you're gonna need again apart from either the CPU or the graphics card block or both and then tubing and fittings so you don't actually need a standalone reservoir because the iceburg extreme has one built in and this is a potential build that you could put together with this unit so I saved you a lot of time save you some runs because again you have to you know either have a standalone pump and then stand around standalone res and that can take time to include in a loop but all of its included here and that's actually really convenient for our custom builders and this one is from joe and josh from mod my mods i also follow them on facebook and elsewhere i like seeing the progress of their custom loops and had fully modded cases and builds this one is absolutely people I think it's my favorite just because they've done some unique stuff with the loop itself they've used some really cool components from primarily alpha cool in here including a dual pump array down at the bottom which is not something you see every day this is one loop per se but the way they've done this is they've actually run the pump up to the standalone reservoir you can see that there and then you have a radiator up top as well as a raid up front but then when it comes to cooling the graphics card and the CPU what they've done is actually split the loop with a t splitter here so you have basically part of this loop filling in to the graphics card and then the other part of it filling in to the CPU at the same time instead of having the loop run directly into the CPU and then into the graphics card so it's a bit of a parallel setup here usually we see parallel setups with like dual graphics cards right now but you could also do that with the CPU and graphics card assuming that the pressure drops between both loops are generally roughly the same so this is a really cool system you can click this button up front as well and completely change the color scheme we're actually using one of Alpha cools graphics card water blocks here and you can see how beautifully the LEDs look and all these different colors everything synced up so beautifully here yeah this is a I love this stuff this is straight up PC porn and for the guys that mod my mom's did a really great job good job guys one of the reasons why I enjoy working with alpha cool so close is that they're always coming out with new crazy stuff they have so many different skew so many different products to choose from we just look like what the heck is this like this this is like a 40 mil will hide a radiator actually good for servers which is not really in our wheelhouse but still the fact that they even make this stuff to begin with is really cool so you can be super creative if you really wanted to use something like that you could actually these two blocks on either side of this rad our pumps believe it or not and they just use two male to male Chi Quarter fittings to run the pumps directly into the radiators and there you go you don't need a reservoir you don't need a standalone pump it's all done for you right there an offic was make it as simple they're giving you at least the option to make it simple if you really want or you could go crazy and use something like this I mean it's a spherical reservoir with a built-in pump looking at here so if you you know if you want to get crazy with it like alpha cool is one of the first places I would look when it comes to a customer because again they have so much to choose from but they're not a sponsor or anything but we wanted to come here because they always have cool stuff to show off and I'm excited to get my hands with some of the stuff Lisa is too because Lisa actually between shots told me that she launched on her own custom loop built so maybe a video or two or three or four depending on how quickly she picks us up is necessary for that so uh yeah stay tuned again this is our CES coverage it's probably gonna be one of our last videos that you guys see but I appreciate y'all watching I know you've probably seen five or ten videos at least from different tech tubers of regarding the same products we try to be a little different here let us know in the comments section what you thought of our coverage and what you like to see in the future this is science to do thanks for traveling with us
