Water blocks everywhere! Wish I could install one on my body during the summers. I'm always throttling.
They actually do have these "cool shirts" used in racing/drifting that works exactly like a waterblock.
Well, you already have one, with multipurpose pump and radiator that covers your whole body and fin stack increasing over time
Hahaha
@@pinguinfromnkvd5774 and you can even say it has an additional phase transition cooling integrated into it that engages under more harsh conditions!
Well Conduction is better for heat transfer than convection that we normally use to cool ourselves.
Would pair nicely with one of the new 'hidden cables on the back' motherboards (which require a fair amount of z-axis room on the back anyway).
I completely agree! A completely stealth out build at some trade show using this with that I believe ASUS MB with the GPU getting power from the MB would be insane to see. It would defy logic and I'm okie with that!
now youve said it. my next project will be made from stealth hardware from Gigabyte. I would REALLY love to have this block tested with that setup. @der8auer how hard would it be to to prototype this for stealth hardware?
When do we start just flipping the motherboard around? :p
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)
To be honest, I have never been interested in water cooling, but this thing is absolutely gorgeous! This needs to happen!
you can always get an AIO and skip the custom loop
@@zombl337og Yes, however AIO's are only marginally better than any other standard air cooler - which in my opinion makes these innovative solutions much more attractive.
i know these are much better, but an AIO is super easy for some gains over 100% AIR@@samuelbojko9929
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
Came here to say that. Option is usually called something like "Remember last power on state".
I'm guessing Roman surely wouldn't make such a rookie-mistake 😂
@@dasiroIt's hardly a mistake, he was just slightly thrown off, given that as far as I'm aware he received the motherboard from the same person who made the block, has no reason to change that setting himself and that the setting usually defaults to "Stay off" I think it's quite reasonable for him to have missed it. The only reason I'm familiar with it is for my home lab server, which as far as I'm aware isn't a hobby Roman particulates in.
My motherboard will turn on after power surge, no matter the setting. It's so freaking annoying.
that's indeed a very good guess but unfortunately it's turned off :(
My main worry would be the flow rate through those very thin tubes but if it's not an issue then it looks really cool.
As a side note, if anyone gets the chance to go to Vietnam it's such an amazing and beautiful country and the people are incredibly warm and welcoming.
It can not be any worse than AIO coolers. Their inlets are just as small
from the video the flow seemed pretty good.
Flow rate should be more than enough. It looks really cool
And if you're enjoy visiting Vietnam, you should also come here to Thailand as well :). Just a little bit to the west from there.
@@mihabolil4oyeah, but that doesn’t seem like a high bar to set. Why would you limit your flow rate to the level of an aio?
1000X Yes fine tune and this would be an amazing piece
Love this concept! A few more iterations and I think it would be ready for prime time.
YES please bring to production
An intriguing piece! I can definitely see an interest in the market. For my personal taste, I like the visible plumbing of a 'traditional' water liquid cooling loop. I'm even one of those weirdos that prefers to use fittings rather than bend tube. I just love that industrial vibe.
Steampunk look.
@@brodriguez11000 full copper hardline is such a good look.
@@garetht677 Yeah, doing research I purposefully watched every video I could find of how not to do it. The causes of failure are few in number it turns out. 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. In a few hours I purge the loop, tint the clear coolant to my preferred shade of aquamarine and pray to the PC gods no misfortune befalls me.
@@fermitupoupon1754 I thought about it this go round. That's the lovely thing about water cooling. It's kind of like an apartment. If things get boring, just redecorate!
I love stealth concept in general. Like motherboards having connectors on the backside, and this with the waterblock is just so damn cool!
Just don't use a glass side panel. Easiest fix ever
@@GewelReal That's like saying "Oh you would prefer the art a bit different? Just hang a black blanket over it, easiest fix ever".
So no. I like the stealth look, not the no-look.
@@andiders if you spend more time looking at your PC than using it I think you have a problem
@@GewelReal Stuff don't have to be ugly just because they weren't intended to be watched 24/7. You might treat your face like that, but I ain't treating my PC like that.
*Mic drop*
I'm sorry buddy, that wasn't cool of me.
@@andiders I treat my PC and face well. But it's just a PC. Shove it under the desk with enough airflow and just use it as intended. Working on it + entertainment, not wasting 500$ in LEDs
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!
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.
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
Looks great! Would love to be able to use this in a direct-die mount set up.
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.
Like the concept! looking forward to next one.
Iv recently switched from a 240mm AIO to the ND- 15 Air Cooler and I’m now a serious believer in CPU Air Cooling. It’s also nice not having the worry of water leaking
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.
@@CycahhaCepreebha I hope the rain doesn't hurt you.😢
@@DM-eq4rs Pardon?
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!
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.
looks great!!! I would love to try one out. As you mentioned yes, some tweeks here and there but overall, the right idea.
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
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.
Impressive!! I personally would love to see more. I love these kind of innovations.👍
Ina world where every manufacturer is working on moving all the cables to the back of the motherboard, making the tubes go behind as well makes so much sense
Great idea, nice to see the magic behind this design 😁
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 so cool! :) Looks amazing!
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
I don't think I would ever buy one, but I really appreciate the looks and design. It is nice seeing things that aren't the same cookie-cutter product over and over again.
it looks fantastic and I would love to see it come to the market! 👍
SIMPLY AMAZING!! I would def purchase for watering cooling if available. So I say YES! Super cool concept for sure!
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.
Looks awesome! Flow seemed pretty good considering the small tubes feeding the block.
Pretty awesome potential product! Got to love it!
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 😃
I love the idea of this, looks amazing.
I love the design and idea since you get a better view of the water block without pipes in the way.
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 UA-cam 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!!
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. 😎
Very unique and I would love to see how this evolves. I would for sure use this in a build. Maybe when I finally make a custom loop this will be out.
hello, I cleaned my graphics card yesterday, took the opportunity to change the cooling pads and cooling paste, and bought your products, and to my positive surprise, the temperature dropped by about 30 degrees under load, absolutely incredible. GPU is MSI 3090 Suprim X, can really recommend more people to try thermal grizzly's products
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 🍻
Really like the concept been on the fence about water cooling my pc for years and something unique like this would probably push me over the edge to pull the trigger.
Wow that looks awesome !
Absolutely bring this to market! Super cool and I’d definitely buy one!
I would love to have this for my upgrade next year. It is gorgeous and slick so I would love to see more details after optimizations are done.
I respect the immediate proper testing, but this block looks incredible and the ingenuity of it is amazing. If The creator perfects the design I would 100% buy this over front tubing AIO's
This has to be one of the coolest invention this year. I really hope this will come to production!
Love the design and the concept, haven’t used water cooling in over 15 years because I couldn’t be bothered with the tubing, however I would personally buy something like this.
It’s compact, fits neatly and removes the hassles of using an AIO. Honestly looks amazing.
This seems like a much bigger hassle than an aio, if you need to change your cpu you have to get access to the backplate, somehow separate the two halves without dripping water everywhere, and then worry about the seal when you reassemble it, whereas an aio mounts the same as an air cooler and can be removed without access to the back
@@VerdASMR I've had coolers that require the use of a backplate.
@@Safetytrousers coolers that require use of a backplate filled with water? I doubt it.
This is a pretty neat concept!
Genius innovation feeding water through the mounting holes! Would love to how this can be partied with rads and a pump in a clean way.
super cool stuff, great design and I think with a lot of companies moving towards cleaner looks this will definitely have a market.
Looks amazing !
awesome design.. very unique, id love to see some thing like that on the market it looks amazing
That's a really cool concept!
I'm impressed, improve it and bring it to masses. Thumbs up!
Very well said, it’s definitely elegant and quite nice looking!
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 pretty cool, would love more.
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!
Looks awesome!
a truly interesting and cool idea and implementation.
Love the idea. Would love to see results of further research and design.
I need one of these ASAP. Great idea
I really like the idea - with a reduction in the back section size. :) Thank you.
looks really cool, nice idea
This is even more incredible than I ever imagined. After watching your video from Computek and now seeing how it actually works. I really hope this come to market. Would be a dream come true to see this in a build with the stealth mobo cable build. Just think how clean with no tubes or cables showing. All we need now is a stealth GPU block and full build will be a masterpiece in design.
such an amazing piece of ingenuity. absolute day one purchase if and when it comes to market.
i personally would love one. Awesome design work
Love it. Recommended cases for the final product would be a great help...
1:02 damn, der8auer sounds so happy and emotional
Genius idea! I would, definitely buy one!
Direct-die mount setup will be more efficient looking to the small size of tubes, overall it looks fantastic! This waterblock can hide watertubes completely on my FD Define 7xl!
Love the concept of stealth tubing and wiring would
Love to buy this
As a person who only looks into their PC when it doesn't boot up properly, I wouldn't buy it.
But, it is a step forward. I think it's going to be an interesting option for a lot of people out there.
This is the kind of innovation that gets me excited about tech again!
This looks great!
Combines nicely with the new motherboards having all the connectors on the rear, getting rid of cable clutter too.
I think, I want that block in my system. It's just beautiful. Especially the tubes won't ruin the sight of the block. Great stuff.
Super awesome! Would love to see it better space-optimized. Mycro Direct Die and Stealth Tubing mashup would 100% go into my next build.
as long as the cold plate is fixed and performance improved to be on par with what is in the market, id be so in on this.... this totally changes the way we can run our loops and the aesthetic choices that we will have!!! super exciting!
Looks neat! Hopefully this design long term will be reliable against leaks.
Looks awesome👌
Cool concept, that's for sure.
This is really really cool!
No way You are a "Stargate" fan. So Am I!! That's awesome!!
Definitely a great idea to try. Only thing like it. And would be one of a kind product for the market!
That's CLEAN I'd buy one it looks mint !
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.
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.
