Alphacool Eisbaer LT

Yes, that's right, I'll be re-using the pump. The XT is thicker than the rad normally supplied with the LT hence my concern over the pump being strong enough.
 
If the rad is thicker then that will present less resistance to the pump surely? As it will have more channel area.

Either that, or the flow resistance will be defined by the smallest points e.g. the fittings.
 
Was about to post a thread but has anyone used this (new?) Alphacool pumps? I'm shopping around, i've got two EK pumps which are at least 4+ years old and they are quite loud. These seem reasonably priced and given its a pump that goes inside anything I choose I don't care what the brand or look is, anyone got one of these?

Alphacool Eispumpe VPP755

Quite a fan of the Eisxxxx range, are these any good/quiet?

Cheers

It’s a D5 that is slightly shorter. They claim it’s quieter with slightly better performance.

It’s not true it fits all D5 accessories, as the shoulder is about 1mm different. I think it fits most, and there’s a compatibility list somewhere.

WantoN is right about the slightly different measurements. Also you have to be careful about disassembling the pump - there's a component that will break if you try to reassemble it.

I have the VPP755, been using it a bit under 6 months. At lowest speed (around 2000RPM) it's properly silent. My build is aimed at silence, so I'm pretty good at picking out sounds.

At moderate speeds it's audible but very subtle. At full speed it's noticeable but by then you'd hope your fans will be louder. I like it a lot, have it in a 250mm (IIRC) eisbecher res.

Hmm, thanks gents - not sure now, anyone have any other thoughts on new pumps. Generally I will disassemble mine and braid, although i see its braided... I like the note under it on ocool about something exploding if you open it lol!

Yes it’s braided from the factory, although the braiding isn’t amazing. Not bad either. I believe you can take it apart, but the main danger is a ceramic rod iir correctly. I’d just be careful.

I don’t see why you need to take it apart anyway. Just pop the connector off, slide the sleeve all the way back, and push the heatshrink into the chassis. Then either put fresh pins on or re-use the old, and put the connector back on.

I really like what alphacool are coming out with. I’ll likely be using that pump in their eisstation, as it’s very compact. Not sold on the looks, but I’ve not found something decent that size either.

The DC-LT looks cool too, though I’d have to use two.

The size of my loop in a 1000d i'd have to be using about 20 ;)

I might take a punt on them, i'll probably have 2 or 3 in the loop to a custom res/distro panel inside some housings with the rear mods on the pumps so as you say i'll probably take off the crap braid and do it to match.

Thanks for the input!

No worries. Let me know how you get on.

The 1000D is pure awesome. The rail system is incredible, and with the front panel fully populated with illuminated fans it looks insane. I’m a fan of the Link ecosystem, so I like that it includes a Commander Pro. Have you got pictures up?

I’d have loved something like the 1000D, but these days my computer needs to be small and discreet. Best I could get away with is an air cooled Corsair 240. I’m planning a loop in the Meshify C; CPU, GPU and two 240 slim rads, nothing barmy.

The ‘eis’ range has that DC-LT built into the gpu block, so I could use that and one in the res. I’d prefer proper flow rates though, so I’ll likely be getting the alphacool ‘D5’ too. I like supporting companies who innovate.

Acool’s new gpu and cpu blocks look great. I like what they’ve done with them, and the clear cpu block with an RGB ring is a nice touch. You using many of their products.

I like my builds quiet and classy, and the new EKWB cpu block looks incredible, their radiators look the best in the business too imo. So unfortunately my build will probably be mostly EKWB, though I may get Acool’s new gpu block and backplate.

Roughly same school of thought, love and support and talk to innovators but the products are just not quite there so I have the new EK velocity and vector blocks going in. I do have the XSPC tubing and new fittings, my rig will be metal focused again but this time not using 16mm copper. I already own 17 HD120s and I have bought a second Commander Pro to go with the one included in the 1000D. Build log coming next week, I have to confess i've ordered the 480mm x 2 top tray so I may end up with far too many rads again :).

Only thing done so far is rinse out the 1 XSPC RX480 in white, nobody in the UK has stock so waiting for more. Drilled out the drive bay in the 1000D already and designing my custom distro/res, made a cut down of the current big rig to use while I build and got my 2080Tis on air until its done and they go in the blocks :)

Crikey, sounds like a monster. At least you can run all the fans at min :p

Look forward to the build log. I might post mine, but it’ll be rather boring in comparison :D

EDIT: how’s the velocity block? Best looking block I’ve ever seen.
