    Koolance CPU-350 Pictures!

    Previously I posted some pictures of our upcoming CPU-345 blocks. The CPU-350 will be released alongside the CPU-345, but will offer better performance in higher pressure systems. Like the CPU-345, the CPU-350 will be available with either an acrylic or black acetal top.





    Edit
    --------------------------
    After some discussion I managed to get an internal pictures for you

    Looks a lot like the EK Supreme's design, but I see influences of GTZ as well.

    Looks like it could be solid. I'm interested in seeing the numbers...

    Interesting looking block. I'm curious, what type of glue/epoxy do you guys use to secure the thread inserts?

    It surely looks nice. A little restrictive maybe, but it's designed for higher pressure loops so that could work out. The base is nickel-plated copper I pressume...?

    Seems almost identical to the GTZ...

    Including the micro grid array at the bottom...

    They look as though they're heated and pressed into place.

    Looks promising. Definitely hints of the GTZ going on there, but the inlet pathway looks like it might be a little smoother. Also good that the top plate doesn't shroud the chipset/socket area like the 330/340 designs did.

    I would assume it's just a different hold down plate so yea I would guess they do.

    Actually it is bowed. We did a lot of testing in regards to stepped vs bowed and got our best temps with the bowed design.

    Also it will include two brackets, one for Intel and one for AMD. It should support all sockets except 462 and F.

    Do you have any thermal testing numbers for us?

    Price tag?

    Nice design, huge improvement over the Koolance blocks of 2 years ago. Thanks for the news and images, such things are always welcomed at XS.

    Whoa! It's nice seeing someone from Koolance interacting with the community. They've come a great way, and this latest product shows that they are listening to us. Nice work, keep it up

    BTW, when can we expect copper rads?
