@maiurbancic1 , the picture is not very clear on my Phone but as far as I can see I fully agree with the last comment from Eddy. Just a cosmetic flaw. I've many years of experience as galvanic technician and to me it looks as a drying spot. So just a light brown/yellow discoloration (nickel...

Hi Rene, my fault for not doing 'research' before formulating an answer on my point of view. Because nickel plating (electrolytic & electroless) is pretty much standard in the watercooling scene and chrome plating much less common (for various reasons) I assumed the block was nickel plated 😔...

I've been a galvanic technician/quality control for at least three decades in the industry and most of it in the aerospace sector (with high standards) and have seen many defects regarding electro plating, but don't see any on your product (from a technical point of view) that would comply to...

I personally like the 'looks' of the LT version more than the original Core 1, but hey that's just me ;). In a review (see link below) it shows the performance is excellent and pretty much on par with the Core 1, so I'm tempted to get an Aurora Acrylic version when my finances permit...

Don't know about a RTX 4090, but my Radeon RX 6700XT has a much higher delta-T between GPU and hotspot running Furmark and being cooled by an Alphacool block, this without causing problems. So from my point of view your temps look just fine, no actually pretty good. When stopping Furmark...

Below some specifics regarding ethylene glycol; Pure ethylene glycol has a specific heat capacity about one half that of water. So, while providing freeze protection and an increased boiling point, ethylene glycol lowers the specific heat capacity of water mixtures relative to pure water. A 1:1...

Hi Darkwulf, I reply in English because my German wirting skills are......(n). In your second post you stated that you have a filter in the system. For my system the filter ended up to be the biggest bottleneck reducing the flow. After I removed it I had more flow (100~ 130 l/h) and waaay...

Wow that is fantastic, very much appriciated. This is what I call excellent customer support, I was already sort of a fan of Alphacool products but this kind of customer support actually has added value to the products in my book. As also being a member of the TPU forum (username Noci) I was...

To me this a school example of lush growth of bacteria and fungus. Just a guess, but did you by any chance top up your system over time with destilled water or something? In the Alphacool Apex Liquid ECO Clear manual they clearly state that this will disturb the mixing ratio's and have a...

I've got the two Eisball reservoirs wit Apex VPP pumps and are now massaging the gray matter to get a little creative. I'm playing with some idea's to build it in my system, but was wondering if I can seperately purchase the Lüfterbehalterung brackets as I cannot find them in the Alphacool store.

ok thanks Vanzin, I guess I have to discover myself once I've ordered and installed them.

I guess you just have to remount it, paying extra attention to an even distribution of clamping force, as well as the right torque (too tight is just as bad as too loose). This is the most common cause of the improper contact. It happens to the best of us. The manual looks rather clear to me, I...

Ok Vazin, thanks for the info. Guess they have to go the regular way. Just another question, I know from experience that PETG hard tubing colors different under UV-light than Acrylic (PETG is sort of slightly UV-reactive and Acrylic stays clear, except for acrylic that is made UV-reactive on...

Looks like you made the choice to go for hard tubing (y). Possibilities are almost endless, and the choice of the diameter of your tubing with the hardware specs presented is not so important. Just make sure the fittings and hard-tubing diameters are corresponding. A rule of tumb: do not mix...

Hi, I was thinking of redoing my custom loop and get creative by integrating two Eisball reservoirs. I know it is not necessary to have two pumps, but just for the fun of it and at the same time have the benefit of redundancy. But I noticed that untill shortly the Eisball reservoirs were...
