Yeah it’s just tech porn. What an implementation of cooling ! So much respect for alphacool.

They are making some great new kit, been following them since the EKWB shenangins - hopefully you get some of this kit in to James to test soon

Hey there Leo, for the square pump reservoir you asked for enquiries, usually modders like BRO Cooling use those kind of hardware to hide reservoirs on the back of the case for a very clean build. Cheers

Very cool rack mounted cooling. Think somehow you'd want to mount all that liquid at the bottom of the rack or maybe on its own just in case. Wouldnt want to give everything underneath a nice shower.

This is so cool!

Engineering is high level. We all admire that

They also sell extern chillers, the small ones you can use them in the neighborhood of the machine(s) that are running, the bigger ones need to be placed in another room, with rubber dampers. A few years ago, I wanted to buy one of these. I still have a supertower from Corsair, the 800D and this case has grommets to use a chiller. But I had problems with USB3 connections, and other little things that weren't compatible with the new motherboards, etc. I wanted to build a server into the case having 6 slots for 3.5" HDDs but with 3Gb/ s SATA, so very outdated. It's a great looking case, though.

The appear to be much higher quality than EK but I don't like the rounded top where the ports come out so I stuck with EK for myself. I'd love if they came out with a modified top, I'd switch over right away, especially with EK's quality control going downhill the last year.

Isn't the server cooling box element with the radiators going to be quite inefficient? if the first radiator heats up the air, the next radiator would use that hot air and so on. Rather than each radiator using fresh air(cold air). Or am I missing something?

It is interesting to read you

With ek going down, glad alpha cool seems to be doing great!

@@KitGuruTech Yes. Ghost s1 user with dual radiator setup using their st30 on top as a radiator/reservoir filling point since the st30 has ports on both sides. Small details like that can come in handy even if it doesnt seem obvious why they give options like that to begin with. Also their ddcs pump top has multiple ports to use as well where as most companies only provide two, in and out. Then theres just stuff like the rtx4090 single slot card they came up with. For sfx watercooling, they know what they are doing

At 7:15 in the video is the statement that Alphacool manufacture their products in their own factory so this must mean that they alone are responsible for their ineffective quality control. In my direct experience, Alphacool are not able to provide properly threaded fasteners with their products, the wiring of their devices is sloppy/fragile and their product documentation is poor, expressing an inadequate grasp of even secondary school physics. There is virtually no chance that I would spend nearly $1000 on any Alphacool chassis.

commercials are 2 minutes long (unskippable), video is 9 minutes long. Do yourself a favour and mute every commercial and minimize windows and wait 3 minutes for actual video to load, then just start from 0:0. You're welcome.

Its average sized

I am loosing my last bit of hope for MSI and now Alphacool with these add-in x8 cards for consumer RGB non-sense. 1. M.2 is small form factor storage format initially used for low power laptops 2. push for higher performance and saving few $$ for manufacturers introduced passive heat sinks with pcie 3.0 drives 3. more performance and hype train pushed more sophisticated heat sinks with pcie 4.0 drives 4. now we have pcie 5.0 and throttle fest with every single drive which doesnt have 25W insanely looking and terribly limiting heatsink by its size or active cooler which could cool whole ultrabook laptop SoC we see how absurd is M.2 with high performance storage 5. industry realizes there is no way forward with 25W controllers so they start making these add-in cards, first MSI with x8 dual M.2 card with active cooler and RGB 6. alphacool joins this hype train with their x8 pcie 5.0 SSDs with their own dual M.2 card of course with stupid amount of RGB and "CUSTOM WATER LOOP!" Now we have storage format that is lower power by design used for high performance storage that no one asked for pushed by our throats of PC enthusiasts that is completely ruining motherboard layouts making absurd cooling decisions see points 4-6 above. Long are the days of 5-6 PCIE slots available on motherboards of enthusiast segment all that's to this M.2 plague. These clowns have yet not realized that they made x8 M.2 cards that nobody with existing system from Intel can use or will buy. Either by inability of Intel desktop platforms to bifurcate x8/x4/x4 for simple x8 dual M.2 add-in card without controller, because only AMD's AM4 and AM5 CPUs can do it. Or because of price of build in controller that is extra 50-80 bucks so full x8 card might be good 150-200 USD range with RGB blink. Either way, it is just yet another band aid on fabricated problem which already has simple solution (read bellow) by making ridiculous solution that will cost you precious PCIE slot and price of mid range GPU 7 years ago or 4TB SSD drive. Alternative exists and it's very good at what is it doing. Long behold 2.5" U.2 format compatible in size with existing SATA 2.5" drives that everyone seems to forgot ever existed. It's here at least since ancient age of PCIE 3.0 standard. U.3 was mistake, due changed pin layout so it stopped the adaptation. Oculink pcie 4.0 was nice try but ruined with yet another cable type for x4 and x8 variants incompatible with U.2 without cable with different connects that were impossible to buy. At last with PCIE 5.0 there seems to be some reason coming back to storage market. New MCIO cables look pretty promising, but I have only seen them with top of the line server hardware. We need those to stop this M.2 plague as soon as possible because in 2-3 years we will not have anything else on motherboards just M.2 slots. Even GPUs seems to be pushed outside of case for some unknown reason.

Superb stuff on show. The kit of dreams 🥹
