What did Alphacool do here? Water Block Roundup 2023

[@LawrenceTimme]

It would be interesting to test older water block generations to see the progress. I still use my ek supremacy evo

[@olivierwolphjoseph2329]

Currently using a Ek Phoenix 😅😎

[@bchurch19]

I only replaced my 15 year old EK Supreme HF recently 😂

[@sumtingwong665]

Using the same block as well!

[@Tealc2323]

I use EK-Supremacy EVO too and I wish to know if it's worth upgrading.

[@spaghettilocomotive]

I recently swapped out my Supremacy Evo for the new velocity2+direct die conversion kit for my 12900k, but the block or direct die part was pure garbage, the old supremacy evo cooled better than after delidding and liquid metal. Safe to say I wish I could turn back time and just keep it stock with the old block.

[@DerangedCoconut808]

I always find EK to be the SnapOn of the watercooling industry. Big money for identical or comparable performance to lower priced products. you are mostly paying for the name just like SnapOn or Matco tools. (old mechanic here, thats the closest analogy i can relate to)

[@wudruffwildcard252]

EKs answer totally confirmed what I believe what EK does with every product. EK doesn‘t aspire to be the best, their business model is to be the first. Because they know enthusiasts who are the early adopters buy the first available water cooler!

[@GS0CK6]

Amazing video. Finally someone made the test. And thanks for confirming to me that the Heatkiller is basically the best block and only at 80 euro. Im done with EKWB and this video confirms it. Also can you mind telling me what quick connect fittings you use? thanks.

[@marinipersonal]

EK is not too bad. Performance average, design is good, but is waaaaaay overpriced, also quality control is poor. Shipping active backplate with longer screws that wouldn’t fit as desired, cracking the bridge between the blocks (stress), distro with over tighten or not tighten enough, same issue for GPU blocks. Let’s not forget the DOA RGB strips or the flipped jet plates. Apart from that, is fine. 😂

[@luckerNo01]

Im interested in those quick connect fittings too! What are those?

[@ayah922]

@der8auer EN Pleassse do it. I know in a vacuum choosing LTT was the right business decision (assuming they wouldn't mistest it and slander it) but I would love to see Roman's opinion as an engineer. Neither Steve from GN, Jayz2cents, or any other youtube have the machining experience Roman has and that should be one of the main things to be evaluated. Aesthetic finish, fluid dynamics, craftsmanship, performance, and value. I have no clue what gives Linus the right to say it's overpriced when he knows nothing about labor and materials costs in Europe. Roman has first hand experience running a machine shop and would have the best opinion in the tech space on whether the product is priced competitively in an objective sense. I know it will never have 'value' when it's competitors have 1/8 the price, but what manufacturing costs are all things considered and what the profit margins likely are. If I can pay my local machine shop to make the same/similar for me at a more competitive price then they might have a problem.

[@Morrigan_DeDesarux]

Agreed. Although, as unfortunate as the situation was, it brought a lot of things to the surface along with the Lab's jabs at HUB and GN regarding data collection stuff.

Thank you so much for including the EK Velocity2 in your roundup as I bought one of those a couple of months ago but have yet to mount it! 😊👍

[@rekareaper]

I really wish you would test with higher pump speeds as well. I understand why you don’t, but it would be interesting to see the differences.

[@GhostPsi69]

Theoretical performance vs actual real life performance, also doing max pump speed would allow manafacturers to cheat on flowrate in the blocks.

[@rekareaper]

@@GhostPsi69 it is actual real life performance for me. I have two loops that I sometimes combine. Each is a MORA3 with an EK Dual D5 pump top that all run at 100%. It isn’t cheating on flowrate to have a block designed for high pressure and high flow, as that’s how you’re going to get the best heat dissipation.

[@jjlw2378]

I run my pump 100% all of the time. My computer sits a good distance from me and I can't hear it at all. I've never not run a pump at 100%.

[@fermitupoupon1754]

@@GhostPsi69 how is it cheating though? I mean I vary my pump speed because I want to achieve a certain dT across the radiator, but other than that I see no real reason to do so. If you mount a D5 properly, you're not going to hear it, regardless of pump RPM. My old D5 didn't even have speed control at all, it always ran at full speed. As long as you keep the same pump speed between different blocks in the test, it effectively shouldn't matter what speed your pump is running. Unless a specific block is really designed for slow flow, but then again why would it be, as that just isn't the efficient way to go about it.

[@dieselphiend]

I just switched from EK to a Heatkiller block for my x570/5900X, and it was used. I had to take it apart, and clean it but it dropped my temps by nearly 10c compared to the EK. Increased clocks on all cores, breaking the 5Ghz barrier I had before, to 5.12Ghz, and near or over 5 on every other core. It's sharing a single 240mm x 60mm rad with a 3090.

[@Gary_HTX]

Refreshing to see some proper testing again.

[@jirismidak2001]

Hello, IT? Well, I actually own the Alphacool CORE 1 block, it sits on 14th Gen i9 in Z790 motherboad. And all I can say is, its awsome! It really is! It performs great, keeping the CPU around 60C when playing MSFS2020, which is the most demanding application I am currently using. To be fair, I must say that there is also an Alphacool GPU block on a 3090. And I have a very custom loop with 2 huge 40mm 360 radiators with legendary German Noiseblocker FANs and almost 4 liters of water in the whole loop, pumped with DDC 1T Plus pump. So, plenty of liquid + plenty of cooling capacity = cool and quite components. Great video as usual! Thank you!

DerBauer, when checking mirror finishes on your waterblocks, use a TV sharpness Test! Then you can see exactly how the waterblock is shaped.

[@the-wert]

12:20 - theoretically you could restore lost performance of coldplate created by such technology by recrystallization. You could test what difference (if any) would this make - just place it in oven with protective atmosphere at 400°C for a few hours.

[@Gregregorovich]

That Barrow RGB header is compatible with standard 5V ARGB, if you make (or buy, if they exist) an adapter; looking along the wire (with the wire closer to your eye than the connector), with the pins at the bottom of the plug with the snapped/cut off plastic tabs below it, it maps to left to right 5V, Data, (no gap), Ground.

[@timothynolan7250]

Great work! Love it!!!!

[@СусаннаСергеевна]

My favourite block is the Barrow CPU-pump-reservoir combo. Elegant way to fit watercooling into SFF. I’ve also asked why they use a fan cable for their LEDs. The answer, it seems, is simply “it’s a better connector”. Which is true, anything would be better than the actual LED connector, but it feels like it’s only an excuse to sell adapter cables.

[@alexanderm2702]

I would like to see a test with a vapor chamber between the CPU and the block. I've looked into doing it myself but the power rating on the ones that would fit seem to max out at 150W. My theory on why the Alphacool block is so good: the sideways slots offer an easier path to get rid of water that has already contacted copper and warmed up. That allows higher flow rate of fresh cool water. It also creates turbulence in the water and also creates a bit more surface area.

[@Blustride]

The Aquacomputer RGB adapter is 3 euros from their site. At that price it should probably be included, but it's also a nominal expense.

[@waynemacleod3416]

the ARGB connector on the barrow is from commercial or DIY. I have 3 controllers and lights with that conector. you can get a adapter for the motherboard connector if you dont want to rewire.

[@sabishiihito]

The Corsair blocks should come with an adapter to standard A-RGB in the box, at least the one I got did.

[@Quasars06]

Thanks for this comparison. Since 2015 I have the Watercool Heatkiller IV Pro Nickel and I see no reason to change it because for 10 years there has been no real improvement in performance apart from the design.

[@Cinnabuns2009]

I went with HeatKiller IV because it has a bracket that I (as a machinist) can change out and make to fit any hole pattern on any board. Also, it doesn't need mounted offset because the inlet is toward the chiplet side on AMD so the chiplets get the cold side and the SOC gets the outlet. Very nice feature.

[@96kylar]

@bobbyp6592 I didn't use a negative voltage offset, as I followed a guide that talks about how its better these days with modern CPU's to use Load Line Calibration to achieve an undervolt. Google "Asus Maximus Z790 Extreme and Intel i9-13900k - A tuning guide for beginners." It's a long interesting read about why this way is better, but to jump right to the information, you want the second post, then scroll down to "So let's start tuning the beast !". Basically it amounts to setting the DC_LL = 1.02 and AC_LL = 0.2, that's it, it's undervolted. You can fine tune it more from there but as it says in the forum post, those numbers should be stable for just about all 13900K's

[@protator]

This just confirms once again that EK's new strategy is to increase the prices, not the performance of their water blocks. They used to be the absolute performance king, picking an EK block for best performance was an absolute no-brainer - at least for those with the necessary cash. Sadly, for several years now even their ridiculously priced halo products have only been able to keep up with mid-tier blocks and get completely destroyed by the competition's top shelf products. I'm still using two Supremacy blocks in my server and a Supremacy Evo in my workstation, they're great, but those were the last EK blocks that were actually worth the high price tag. Corsair had issues with price-performance disconnects as well for a while, but they've sorted things out and returned to reality; for the most part.

[@Gobbbbb]

Would just like to say thank you for making English videos in addition to the German ones, it really is appreciated and I hope one day to learn German.

[@Dexx1s]

LOL at the EK blocks. The Alphacool block is $100 for the non-RGB version IIRC, which is going to be cheaper than just about every EK block that isn't on sale. Nobody's really paying that much for a waterblock and then not paying the extra $15 for the contact frame, unless they're incredibly ignorant or just stupid. If I actually needed a block, the Core 1 would have been my choice, since the moment I saw it, along with the price. Good to see that the temps are decent too.

[@GLHerzberg]

Sent a question to Alphacool asking whether the block exposes the brass and/or copper to the cooling fluid. The product's description leads me to believe that it does stating only that the "threads" are nickel plated. Would appreciate any additional insight into this from the community.

[@GLHerzberg]

Alphacool responded with "The buttom of the 'Alphacool Core 1' is copper nickel plated and the top brass nickel plated, so both of them has no contact with the coolant." Thus, it is likely that their site's translation to English could be improved to properly contextualize the grammatical elements.

[@RetroTinkerer]

I was told "a while ago" by one notorious tech youtuber famous for its water cooling builds that there was no reason to review custom liquid cooler parts for their performance and a sponsored build was a perfect way to show of the parts. A medium one that used science in his handle also told me hey people build custom water for the way they look, no performance review is necessary. I guess corsair is a big sponsor and a performance review of underperforming parts is always unnecessary. BTW Thanks for the review and for actually testing the parts!
