AIO with G1/4 threads

famas · 6 Oct 2017 at 10:33

Hey all,
I'm planning an itx monster build and while I've previously said I want to move away from water cooling I've seen to many sweet looking water cooled itx builds that I've got the bug again.

A lot of the builds us AIO's with custom hard line tubing to cool the CPU.
Trouble is finding an AIO that will accept standard G1/4 fittings.

I think the fractal Kelvin t12 has threaded connectors, does any one know of any other 120mm kits with G1/4 connectors.

I understand the problems with modding AIO's but there is just no way of fitting a custom loop into the build, plus I'm planning to make a few custom parts also.

Air cooling would probably be a better solution but I'm vain and want the looks

From what I've found the Fractal Kelvin series all have g1/4 threads as does the Alphacool Eisbaer, which is what I'll probably go for as it seems to have the most powerful pump.

Not found any thing else yet.

Cheers for taking the time to reply but I've just pulled the trigger on the Eisbaer solo, it seems to tick all the boxes I'm after.

That looks like a tidy little unit, will remember that for future endeavours.

I've seen the Eisbaer used a couple of times in the same case so I know it should work. I also like the look of it. Hopefully it performs well.

I will be starting a thread on the build for sure, just got to order a few more bits.

Should be interesting, you got a thread started on it?

Mine will be nothing special, in fact it's likely to turn into comedy central following on from the mess I've made of my current rig (you can find pics of that in the case gallery thread

) I'm on a tight budget and already spending too much.
Though I am taking this one a little more seriously, this rigs got to last me a good few years.

Funnily enough I only installed it a few days ago. seems to be running great so far. only have it on the cpu and a 120 rad but it is a Alphacool xt45 so double thickness.

Seems to pump well but there is a high pitched hum from the motor, can't hear it over the case fans though.
