Morning Guys

I have been working with a partner on a new CPU waterblock recently. An early prototype landed on my desk a few days ago.

I would like to hear some feedback from you guys about what influences your choice when it comes to CPU blocks.

what features or characteristics do you look for?

Any feedback would be hugely appreciated as it will only go to improving this product and getting it available sooner.

look forward to hearing your thoughts.

with plexi tops is it important to have the option of LED holes to light up your blocks?

5 socket types later, still my favourite block

i had one of them, easily the best block i have ever owned. especially with the chrome plated mounting bracket

Finally, I'd love to take a look at the block myself if possible

It is something that I am unable to share at the moment.

I have a few more refinements I would like to be made really as the first sample is very early on in the development and needs much more work.
The mounting hardware is my main concern and something that has been confirmed from feedback in this thread. Which is why having the feedback on here was important for me.

I will say two things.

I am impressed by the performance given the simplicity of the design.

I think the simplicity of the product makes it stand out but it is too early too say about final finish etc

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Is there a rough time frame for when you'd like to release?

nothing yet. its early days still

Nothing wrong with simple as long as it's not just two ports over a milled piece of copper simple

potentially, but its not being designed to be the ultimate performance solution, its designed to hit a budget but not look like it has if that makes sense.

simplicity and the aesthetic is where i provided reference from.

i sort of dont see the point in overcomplicating a design for the sake of it. my primary concern is having something that appeals to the most people possible.

performance and looks good enough to draw in enthusiasts, but simple enough to be affordable and easy to use for a newcomer.
