Looks decent to me, I don't know about quality & performance Alphacool can offer though.

:) look dam good
Looks are definitely a matter of taste there benleya. I personally think they both look really nice. Alphacool doesn't exactly have a stellar performance record but maybe they can pull something out of the hat this time. The more top performing blocks we have to choose from the better IMHO.
im wondering how the heck you can say its a fail without looking internally.
Hard to say anything without seeing the insides. Otherwise it reminds me of Aqua Computers Cuplex with custom top.
edit. Looks like there might be somekind of acceleratorplate like in Supreme.

DID, say first thoughts, looks nasty :rolleyes: but internals won;t be to cleaver prob :(Quote:

i think this is a nasty, cheap looking block....lets just hope it redeems its self with preformance
heh.. ya you did. :PQuote:

oo right sorry, NaeKuh, But it's got an acceleratorplate so it's a rip off of some blocks. maybe i'll change my mind in the morning. i'm in a funny mood :(
Internals should be interesting (don't like how close the opening are on the second one) ...
One thing that they really could have improved on is choosing a better color palette, second one reminds me too much of Iron Man :S
My Testsample arrived today - i will check the new waterblock on S775 and S1366 soon

We want internal pics ASAP! :cool:
*sniff* *sniff*
I sniff mixed metals.
they look quite good, waiting for the internal pics. when will you be able to show us the internals Bundy?
Based on looks alone I think the red 1 would look right at home on a Blood Rage.
Yellowstone Internals :)

might be that im wearing a red hoody and a yellow t-shirt atm, but i like the color combo... yellowish/gold + red... the internals confuse me a little bit... but then again, what do i know about internals?!
For what I see it will be average block, nothing worth to spend time and money on it, especially when overclocking on s1333, my opinion :shrug:
This block looks like where done few years ago, my old AquaXtreme MP-05 SP Limited Edition block have twice as much pins inside and definitely will perform betther than this, this is like a pos after all :ROTF:
Thanks for posting the internals, Bundy!
The base plate seems identical to the previous alphacool blocks... not so thrilling.
Still, it will be interesting to see how it performs.
I don't know what they were thinking but the base is exactly the same as in older versions of NexXxos XP and accelerator/jet plate looks even worse. Well, let's wait for the test results but I wouldn't hold my breath.
Thanks for the internals bundy. :up: Looks like I was wrong about mixed metals.:clap:Quote:

Speaking of Innovatek, do you have their new i7 block yet? If so, could you post internals of that as well?
I donīt have the inno block for i7
..but, i got some new Yellowstone pics - now mounted. Test in progress :)

Nice! IMHO it's pretty ugly but if it performs well I could definitely look past that aspect. Can't wait to see the test results, thanks Bundy.
Internals are garbage... won't do any better than the MP-05 (remember those?) and let me tell you, performance is not good.
