A New Generation of Water Blocks? Stealth Tubing Block Tested in Detail

Just had a watch of this and I think it could be pretty cool (no pun intended), If they can work out the things that der8auer talks about at the end.

Would you consider putting something like this in your loop?

Watched this on my lunch break in the office, if the backplate part is thinner i can see this going mainstream. Very neat bit of kit and especially for clean builds.

Agreed and obviously they'll need to work on getting the performance at least on par with current blocks, But the concept is really cool. I don't know if I'd use it personally because I like tubing aesthetics. But then again if it went mainstream I'm sure some people would come out with some crazy cool looking builds.

i like it. back plate is a big problem but i like the look

Mcnumpty2323 · 23 Jul 2023 at 19:11

Yeah saw it earlier
Temperatures and flow rates
Especially through those tiny diameter pipes
Are something we need more info on
And obviously price
Looks like a couple hundred quids worth
Yes the rear parts too thick

It hides the tubing
Which is great
But you have to still get the tubing from
The rear to the pump,rads,gpu
Pump could possibly go in the rear
Multi/6 port rads can help too
But it's hard to think how you could hide tubing
To/from the gpu

Would really have liked the guy
To show it in a full build
In a popular case like 011d/xl/evo
To see just how stealthy you can get with all
The other stuff too

Possibly getting creative
With a step drill bit to make some holes
In the case Could help I guess

In the o11 mini and psu is at the rear of the socket so would be a no no. And most cases have about 20mm of room in the back

I think the rear section is the biggest issue that they have to deal with initially because case manufacturers aren't going to retool all of their equipment just to make new cases to accommodate a niche kind of water block like that.

It could work though on the skeleton frame kind of cases though tho?

That is where the test subject @Jay85 come into play..

Oh you know i'll buy it, i could use this in my Xtia project

TBF with the space between the board and the back this could work

I could make it happen, just need to cnc a wider aluminium section in the middle and i can accommodate anything really.

Choices are limitless!

BeeP · 24 Jul 2023 at 10:12

Pretty nice, I normally only cool the chip so this would be ideal for someone like me who doesnt do the gfx etc.

Project log soon then

I mean technically there's already a project log i will expand on it. The rigs always changing, i get bored easily and always want to tinker.

Mcnumpty2323 · 24 Jul 2023 at 18:57

theres a build using it here
though its a full custom made case by look of it
still want to see it in a standard pc case
and full loop

I don't like it as it's just too bulky plus I actually like seeing the tubing. I don't think they will ever get performance comparable with traditional blocks as long as they have the coolant going through the legs which fit in the cooler mounting holes in the motherboard as they must be massively restrictive. It's probably going to be stupidly expensive as well.

Mcnumpty2323 · 24 Jul 2023 at 19:20

If your pump has enough pressure
Won't it actually flow faster through the legs?
Though speed isn't necessarily same as volume I know

Just finished watching this build and holy crap it's really something, it's weird not seeing more tubing but I guess that's the point right it's a shame that they didn't show the back of the case and the tubing routing, I would have been interested to see that.

Yeah he does some beautiful builds
Think he's won awards at computex for them
I can see him doing a future build with that block
And asus motherboard where power/fan connectors etc
Are at the rear of the board
And with ASUS upcoming gpu that doesn't use cables
Some sort of proprietary slot for all the power instead
If only someone could come up with a way
To hide the tubing to/from the gpu
Then really would be a total stealth build

Wing-Man · 26 Jul 2023 at 12:39

there need to be somthing for the GPU's or for me its pointless
