Alphacool 12164 NexXxoS XP³ Light - Black V.2 - Intel/AMD Water Cooling CPU - Water Blocks

Description

Only few companies can look back to such a long history of experience and tradition in CPU water block development and manufacturing as Alphacool. Since the beginning of 2010, Alphacool has been developing and testing the successor CPU water block for over 14 months. Never in company history had such an effort been made towards improvement of a product, but the goal was clear: The new Alphacool NexXxoS XP³ was not only being developed to better its predecessors, but also exceed the cooling performance of all other products on the market. Alphacool has created a true flagship water block. Having been patented for the NexXxoS XP in 2004, the cross-slot technology in the cooling plate was developed even further. An even finer structure of fins and channels now ensures stunning performance. The remaining pins are 0.5x0.5mm wide and have a height of 2.5mm. With this technology, it is possible to transfer great amounts of thermal energy very quickly from cooling plate to coolant. A multitude of approaches for ideal coolant injection into the cooling structure exist, and many of them show great potential in computer simulation. Alphacool went one step further, and has actually realized many different technologies and tested them under real-life conditions. These prototypes were combined with different backflow possibilities, until an ideal solution was found: Slotted acentric injection in combination with backflow channels in opposite directions allowed a performance improvement which also worked on larger chips and Multi-core processors. Two versions will be available upon release: For budget-oriented users, the affordable entry-level version with Acetal is the right choice. For those looking for something a bit more advances, a version with brass top and elegant black nickel plating is available. Cooling performance of the Acetal version is only approximately 2°C behind the performance of the brass version. Model: 12164.
