Honestly, I think this is one of the best innovations I have seen in several years. To put it simply, I would buy it. Pair it with your copper cold plates you were showing Steve@GN, and those cable free mobos you showed from Asus (the ones with the extra PCI slot), and I think you would have one of the cleanest builds ever. I would love to hear from Bun (the chap that invented it)

Motherboards usually have an option on what to do after a power surge, stay off, turn on, or retain the state they had before power was lost (so if pc was on before losing power then turn on, otherwise turn off). That motherboard most likely has the option set to always turn on

If it's not a fairly rare defect in the gear, it's almost always careless prep of materials and a lack of attention to detail during assembly coupled with a lack of testing. As I type I am watching the EK Superflush do its thing in the loop. Assembly and testing went very well.

That is so cool! I am in shock. I don't see myself using one of these but I could see the potential. It won't be a high volume product but at the same time, I could see it being popular enough with modders. Like you mentioned, one would have to mod the case as well but what a neat concept!

Looks great! Would love to be able to use this in a direct-die mount set up.

I have never thought I'd want a water block as bad as this one, for every reason it exists. Holy heck. +1 Please make - if possible!

Oh my God... The design of this water cooling block is beautiful! super clean, minimal and modern, and will allow more space for airflow in the case. I'm also excited about the new Streamcom passive cooled cases, it would be great to have a video about them. Thank you for another great video, Roman! Blessings

Woah you got your hands on this thing! Glad I caught it the second it dropped, excited to see how it performs as well if you intend to do some performance testing on it to benchmark it vs other blocks

My 2 cents: Looks awsome. I think if compatibility (rear and m.2 since pcie5.0 slots are usually close and require heatsinks) and cooling plate with fins are addressed would be very popular. Also love the LED too, makes you not have to put in coloured dye and the sediment which comes with that.

Happy to see someone coming up with an original idea and the industry giving props. When it goes into mass production, I will definitely buy one

I think it looks awesome and such a great idea! I hope it does go into mass production for all to enjoy. And I would like to say I really enjoy your channel and learning new things about stuff I thought I understood. Again ty!

I had just seen GGF Events build with this block, and I had almost worked it out. This block idea is super cool, I’d be curious about the flow through the small tubes, but still very clever! For sure a better plate, that looked rough (literally). Thanks for the video!

this looks amazing. if the back size were smaller, I would love to put this in an sff case

I think it is worth looking into more. It does look really cool. Maybe do some more testing with flow rates, water temps, etc. I think it would be worth looking into for mass production if you can keep the price in check. If it is going to cost anything more than $200, I’m not sure it would be worth it. Case compatibility will be an issue no matter what you do with the back plate I think though. You still will need to get the tubes back to the front eventually as the rads and pump will normally still be in the main section. You also have the GPU if it is a full loop. Not all cases have the room to make that happen. It might be cool if you could find a way to cleanly tie into the GPU block as well. That would probably need a partnership with EK to develop a special backplate line since there are so many different GPU blocks.

This is an amazing idea and mega props to the designer. I would definitely be interested in using one of these in a build.

Impressive!! I personally would love to see more. I love these kind of innovations.👍

This is sick! Definitely needs to be a high end coldplate and needs to be thinner. I'd love to have this in my water cooled case!

I’ve done air cooling, but it’s not for me. I like big CPUs, my current one is a 7950X, and it goes from 60C idle to 90C under load basically instantly. With an air cooler that means I get fans spinning up and slowing down all the time, which is a noise I find insufferable, but with water cooling I can control the fans by the water temperature and effectively get perfect cooling at a steady fan speed. Yeah I could set the air cooler fans to spin at 100% constantly, but that’s still an unpleasant level of noise. The water cooling only goes over like 50% fan speed after I’ve run something very intense for a very long time.

Brilliant idea. Kudos to those involved. I think this could be a fabulous idea in the SFF market. A community that often adopts modding to get the best out of the space and parts. The issue would be the clearance at the rear in the smallest volume cases and any rear mounted NVMe drives. However those cases that have a modular "sandwich" layout would provide the option for this type of block on an ITX mobo. As there are only 6 ITX mobos on AM5, it will be easy to check the rear mounted NVMe is clear. I can this working well, especially when paired with a GPU waterblock such as an EK option.

Like the concept! looking forward to next one.

I really like this concept, would be fascinating if it could actually be optimized for a production product. My biggest 2 concerns are VRM temps (the block looks like it restricts airflow in those areas) and how the block's flow rate compares to other water block designs.

Yes this is one of the biggest cooling changes in the last years. Would also look into making a GPU waterblock that has the tube mounts under the card so they are hidden. Going for the full stealth watercooling build is the future

respect to the amount of work that went into designing this. I would LOVE to build with these kind of waterblocks... i build custom watercooled pc's as a hobby and also professional, so having these as an option would bring WAY more variety to the custom watercooled scene.

This is really cool. I don’t even do water cooling for my comps yet. But it’s exciting as heck to see independent design and innovation. Reminds me of the old days of custom pc, when I was a kid watching my dad work on them. Big thumbs up from me 👍

This is a really cool project and I think for what it is pretty well sized, yeah having it being smaller is ideal you could shorten the back plate with internal runs going more inward to the middle but it looks really good🎉. Ban seems like a chill guy and really awesome to see him get some backing, what creative thinking, hope its a good collaboration 😃

looks great!!! I would love to try one out. As you mentioned yes, some tweeks here and there but overall, the right idea.

such a neat concept. the pass through tubes are going to limit flow as has been said but from a looks standpoint is absolutely stunning and the build quality appears unreal. this would look SO GOOD in my home theater build where performance isn't a primary goal, as it is now.

Very cool, loved seeing this video! Very innovative concept. Personally I really like the look of hard-tubing routing into my blocks so I likely wouldn't build around this but I'm certain there'll be many interested folk as tastes differ! Cheers to all 🍻

Looks awesome! Flow seemed pretty good considering the small tubes feeding the block.

Absolutely AWESOME! A stealth water cooled build, especially in a split case like a O11 Dynamic EVO would be amazing. It will probably be a niche product in a niche arena (custom water loops aren't exactly main stream), but DANG! Truly a sight to behold. 😎

SIMPLY AMAZING!! I would def purchase for watering cooling if available. So I say YES! Super cool concept for sure!

Great idea, nice to see the magic behind this design 😁

I love the design and idea since you get a better view of the water block without pipes in the way.

absolutely worth taking it further! its an awesome concept if u can make it thinner on the back side of the motherboard to fit multiple cases.

Very cool concept, thx for sharing

This has to be one of the coolest invention this year. I really hope this will come to production!

Love it. Recommended cases for the final product would be a great help...

That is so cool! never ever did I imagine a "screw" to carry the liquid into the block. I want to see more of this!

This is definitely something I would like to see make it to the mass market as a product I can buy! Thinking about it from your point of view though, I am worried not enough people would buy one, even though I certainly would. It could just take a while to sell out the first run/batch of the product.

Wew the block is well made, good respect for both Amazing how were able to network with him

i personally would love one. Awesome design work

I am a huge fan of "Modding Cafe". Ban is a true artist and I have LOVED this design ever since he first debuted it on KZread a year or two ago I think? I would 100% buy this block and drain my custom hardline build to put this block in, I love it! Give us a LGA 1700 version!!

That looks amazing. 2 thoughts come to mind immediately: 1. If you have a radiator with the pump built in, this would be such a minimal and simple product. I could easily see this getting mass produced as you could fairly easily make it much smaller on the top and back. 2. Sealing the blocks with o-rings is great for replacability as they are the most likely part to break, but you could probably embed the seals for an easier assembly process. The flow should be more than adequate, as you actually need very little flow to reach the maximum pressure needed for heat transfer. One thing to keep in mind is that stepping down the tube-width, even with dual pipes, creates a lot of pressure, meaning your pump needs to work harder. A D5 though has more than enough pressure for a pretty massive setups and is very silent overall. I run dual 360 radiators and way to much tubing on a single D5. I used to have dual D5s, but it did absolutely nothing for performance compared to 1 D5 on roughly 50% RPM. Amazing mod overall !

That's CLEAN I'd buy one it looks mint !

Super awesome! Would love to see it better space-optimized. Mycro Direct Die and Stealth Tubing mashup would 100% go into my next build.

Definitely a great idea to try. Only thing like it. And would be one of a kind product for the market!

I think a follow up video or short, of polishing/resurfacing the cold plate would be a great watch. I'm interested to see the temperature difference.

I really like how clean that block looks once installed. The only possible issue maybe would be plumping the backside of the mb for liquid. But the block is really nice looking.

I toyed around with this idea a few years ago, the way I did mine was with an EK velocity cold plate for the 10xxx series intel, roughly the same with the front plate, but the rear plate I milled from 304 stainless , brazed the pass through tubes directly to the rear plate which I made 9mm thick over the fittings and had a recessed female G1/4 thread directly over them, kept my profile small so it only stuck out around 2mm from the mobo mounting tray and could have any standard fitting straight off them.

I got really excited when I saw GGF Events' build with one yesterday or whenever he made his. Looks really nice.

Looks amazing !

I like it. I've been planning doing a build that you can't see ANY tubing at all. CPU block was always the problem though. This is an awesome solution. I want one.

It is absolutely beautiful, the design is and I imagine would be even better with the additional tooling of the cold plate along with possibly thinning of the acrylic water blocks if possible. If the blocks were thinner it would possibly fit more cases.
