For various reasons, I've bought a replacement combo pump/reservoir and have some questions.... 1) The old pump has a copper base, the new one is chromed. Is it chrome plated copper? I would hope so as obviously there is a conductivity advantage with the copper as opposed to cheaper aluminium...

Okay thanks for this - I have placed an order (via one of your trading partners) Neil

Hi, Are Eisbaer pump block components available separately? Specifically the copper plate and gasket set. I've taken mine to pieces after ~2 years usage and there is a little pitting around the 45mm o-ring and I'm a bit concerned it won't properly seal after pressure/heat cycles. How does the...

Hello, I'd like to slightly change the configuration of my Eisbaer 140, I only need a few fittings and length of tube etc. The shipping cost from Germany to the UK actually costs more than the components. Naturally then, I've tried local stockists but it would seem 11/8 flexible piping (as is...

That's great news, thank you (I made a good choice when I bought this model) Nozzle

https://www.overclockers.com/pc-water-coolant-chemistry-part-ii/ With the above information in mind, I am cautious so as not to add in the wrong chemicals and cause a problem. Can you advise the composition of the metal components of the Eisbaer 140 (Aluminium, Brass, copper). I know...

Metropolis, Many thanks for your advice, What particular product would you recommend? As I understand the subject, automotive antifreeze (be that ethylene gylcol or "OAT" etc) isn't appropriate for this application. CKC apparently contains the required chemicals, though obviously already mixed...

Hello, I've had my Eisbaer 140 a little more than a year now and when Argus Monitor maximises the pump speed control it gurgles so I think it's time to top-up with some fresh coolant. Since I'm only toppping up, is it okay to use demin water only (I have access to industrial quantities of the...

Here's the view from above, you can see the longer screws through the outer fan and finger cage that pull it up to the chassis and the radiator: Here it is installed under the desk, you can see here why I really need the 140mm AIO in the rear position, and cannot use the top one... a large...

I have now fitted the second fan (external to the chassis) and the result is really pleasing. Same conditions as above, pump running only 90%. PCH temperature actually drops a little to54C as the AIO cooler fans spin up, obviously on account of better air throughput. CPU temperature stable at...

At sustained full load with no overclock (3925MHz after XFR/PBO effects are complete), with Argus Monitor reporting 120W it tops out at ~73C with only one fan currently fitted and PCH 62C. I have contact ASUS regarding the temperature readings at low load - I'm not happy with the spiking and it...

With a minor modification to this "spine" for fan clearance, (only on this side), then elongate the holes in the chassis that secure the fan, it was done!! The guys at Fractal Design should get in on this, and incorporate the changes and produce a new revision. You can see space is cramped, but...

I am writing to you using my old and slow Samsung Netbook on account of the desktop PC undergoing major surgery - photos to follow! I've had good luck fitting the 140mm AIO with only very minor modification to the chassis. Photos to follow!! I am awaiting additional parts which will facilitate...

I've had another idea (and I've also discovered the ODD rack is removable) which might work. Can you quantify or estimate how much of a detriment it would be to run the Eisbaer 140mm with only 1 fan? I could still mount it in the place I was going to originally (rear position), with only 1 fan...

It's a Fractal Design Core 500 - which actually has enough space for a 280mm AIO installed in the top of the case. However this then disallows use of the optical drive bay - but I need to use DVD. Therefore this limits my option to the rear fan space (120 or 140mm fixing centre), but actually...

I was so excited to fit the Eisbaer 140mm last night... such as shame it does not fit in my chassis! I thought there would be space - turns out that, at best, there is only physically space for 1 fan and the radiator, but though the screw holes are at 140mm centre, some of the chassis material...

Okay, now I understand that the warning in the manual relates to being able to easily observe only that the pump is primed & running. I initially understood it to mean that the orientation of the window should be "upwards" to ensure the pump suction port stays low down (for best prime). With...

Dear engineers @ Alphacool... I've now made the choice, somewhat blindly, and purchased the 140mm model. However there is still the outstanding query above. That is to say what precautions should I take given my ITX board is horizontal in my Fractal Design Core 500 case and therefore I cannot...

Furthermore, having read through the fitting instructions it says: "Make sure that the window is facing upwards (or that the Alphacool logo can be read from the front). This design ensures that the pump does not run dry." In my case, and like many ITX set ups, the motherboard is horizontal, not...

Hello, I'm almost set on buying an Alphacool AIO product to replace my BeQuiet Shadow Rock LP but cannot determine if the 120mm or 140mm will be best. My Fractal Design Core 500 case has space for up to 140mm unit in the top or rear (I have an ODD fitted so this precludes use of a larger...
