Oh that thing is sexy as hell alright. Gotta git me one of them.
i hate to say this, and i know in no way AC was here to hear me say it. So im not saying they stole it.
But that looks almost exactly like how i was gonna have iandh do my chipset blocks earily this year b4 he had to pull the project because of time. :T
Im glad a vendor finally got smart and thought of a 2 in 1 block. I seriously was trying to ask a few people to make them. But now you can space the barbs in a perfect gap and get both northbridge AND southbridge!
GOOD JOB AC! Looks like you guys are coming out with some really nice stuff now :up:
Incase you guys were wondering about thiness, if you made the water path really really WIDE, its okey to go thin. I think thats what AC did as well. Only way is to pop the lid and see. :T
Wait first, sharkas website is back! yay, so they didn't go under
Innovatek took it one step further with the x38
Northbridge, 2 Mosfets, and Cpu all in one. Not to mention nickel plated copper.. How much is this bad boy going to cost you, um only $369 lol

To be fair, it doesn't say it has any aluminum in this block, just all nickel plated copper. Doesn't matter, it could be all silver, $369 is still way too high lol.
Most innovatek has aluminum, as does my radiator (only used for alumium ram blocks though!)
Smart design.
Still waiting for a BIOS chip waterblock :rolleyes:
No, to be fair, FrozenCPU's description says "Nickel-plated copper block core with low profile design". Note it says copper core, meaning the only nickel plated copper is over the CPU and NB.Quote:

Looking at the pic I wonder if due to the barb location if it will prohibit a soundcard like the new SB one from going in the top PCI-E 1x slot

The problem with AC is they don't care about the US market. It takes a good month (if you are lucky) to get a large order and by then there are new products out. This means old stock is hard to sell and your cash flow is negatively impacted.
They forgot to integrate the memory and the graphics cards.... They also should have integrated the pump on top of the cpu to save space, and the reservoir on top of the pump as well.Quote:

But really how did you pull that off :D Emailed them?
I've ordered a lot of AC parts from both aqua-pcs.co.uk and heranke.com (in Germany.) Only problem is that you'll get it broken off in you because of the weak exchange rate and shipping. Aqua-pcs gets to me in MI in about 5 days from England. Heranke ships by DHL and can 2 to 3 weeks.
I think some people have also ordered from Vcore.dk and were happy with the experience.
I have had a great experience with aqua computers. I broke the top acrylic (lexan??) piece of my ram waterblock and they sent me a new top piece for a minimal charge. The process was quick and they requested paypal, which was perfect!
Too bad our exchange rate sucks the big hiney though.
