New Aquacomputer block: Cuplex XT Di - Double Impact

Cathar, you love how they butchered your Storm idea? :rofl:

So what are you doing right now?? going DOE! i should of thought of this?

or you laughing in some corner reading your bike magazines?? :P


Also.... what stops the flow from going straight past the second chamber? If i remember fluid dynamics correctly, wouldnt the water just slide right under the second injector since it doesnt look segreigated, and then go staight to the outlet?

On face value looks like a pretty decent design, as good as I've seen. I wonder if it has to be orientated a certain way over the CPU as to match the flow direction over the cores.

and thanks for the info and posts, helps a lot.

Have not yet as it has not landed in the USA.

looks like they just took there existing baseplate desing and slightly modified it to work with a redesinged upper block. Typical of German companies, slow incremental inprovements instead of higher risk new designs. It looks cool but Im intrested in how well it works.

Here you go shamfuly nicked from the AC forum :D

As you can see there is a divider in the middle :p:

OK, I see. Yeah I guess the water would eventually make it through both sets of jets. Man, would I love to see this tested on a system with a quad core, and then swapped out with either a Fuzion or a GTX. Hmm.. maybe something to try after I get my second pump installed.

I wonder why they didn't just shoot the input thru both sets and then out? Is this a parallel vs series thing again? It just seems that with leakage etc, the second jet is going to get less pressure/flow. Still the proofs in the pudding. Let's see a test!

I wonder if Cather has any thoughts?

Jet's aren't idiot proof, but then again, neither are mini-pin designs with gaps between the pins that are no larger than the jets sizes on a Storm, or one of these blocks.

Take your pick. Either design type will clog up if the user is careless. Been running the same water in my system for 30 months now (2.5yrs), and have a G7 installed with 0.5mm diameter jets, and have yet to see a single clogged jet.

Take the time to do it right first time, and it'll save you a ton of grief down the road.

Those blocks really have nothing at all to do with any of my designs. I consider them to be a fairly distinct design. Yes, they use jet-impingment (JI), but in a far less focused fashion.

In essence, they are not too different from an Apogee GTX or a Fuzion, in terms of pin sizing, but these blocks have the added benefit of JI action. Still, that's no firm guarantees as you can mess up JI, and if they're too restrictive then flow rates can suffer to the point that the JI effect is offering no benefits.

If it's for installation on a S775 CPU, really it's more about who has the better mechanical mounting solution for the CPU. The actual waterblock design appears to be somewhat secondary to having a good mechanical mount due to the flaws in S775.

THANK YOU!!

thats just what i wanted to see.. im reinterested in this block for my loop now.

Any results ??

that is one freaky design. I wonder how well the chambers are sealed from eachother.

Just went to Sharka Computers to check this block out. It doesn't seem to come with fittings to accommodate 1/2" ID tubing. Can someone confirm this please?

AC blocks normally come with out fittings.

To use this block with 1/2" you need to make sure that you purchase the G1/4" version and then any normal G1/4 > 1/2" barb will fit for example the EK barbs are a good fit on these.

must be slow update of website...

depends if they have ordered any - we got the first batch so it would probably be a few days yet.

Yeah, major order almost two months ago and still no shipment to Sharka........

@Aqua-PC - Do you all ship to the US? If so do you have this with G1/4?

Thanks

Any temps or any performance numbers yet?

That was exactly my concern from seeing the pics. I sure hope it's well done what with all the class A machining they did on the nozzle block. :confused:

Sharka doesn't put anything new on their website till they have confirmation that the goods are shipping. They do this because the previous AC dealer here in the USA used to put new stuff on their website, takes orders, money, and not deliver. Also sometime AC says they are going to make stuff and then later don't. For example they said this would be available last year and never produced it!
