New Mainboard Waterblocks from Alphacool -> Smart Motion

**bundymania** · 09-30-2009, 10:24 AM

Hi Guys,

I wanna show you some new blocks from Alphacool, available in black and white:

They look rather nice in the black! Look like they'd be quite a universal fit with the swingbracket design too.
Be interested to see what kinda flow they can manage!?

Whats with all these crooked chipset waterblocks lately? I understand they need to make them universal to keep them profitable, but I personaly like things in my case to line up straight. At least make the block universal, but have a series of hold-down plates for proper compatibility that can be sold separately. With the wonky installation, these blocks just do not appear esthetically appealing to me.

depends how its mounted...

think if its all the way towards the middle it would be square, then it gets more and more diagnol if that makes sense?

so depends on mobo

When will they be available in the States? I need something for my Blood Rage.

Yeah, you´re right, i must be a bit drunk yesterday or just in a hurry, when mounting the blocks for the photo session

It looks like that, when correctly mounted

Much much better looking now

**autobot** · 10-01-2009, 09:12 AM

Ah yes...that looks MUCH better!

**HuffPCair** · 10-01-2009, 09:33 AM

I like those. Very simple and clean looking.

**bundymania** · 10-02-2009, 12:18 AM

I like them too, and the fact, that you can mount the blocks on many boards - thx to the universal mechanism

**jim0ne** · 10-02-2009, 01:09 PM

Looks alot better when they are mounted straight. I think i might get in line to pick them up also.
