Apex CPU Block and Apex Monoblock

[BthatKing]

Hello,

today i found out (thanks to the YouTube algorithm) that you will be releasing the Apex CPU block and the monoblock sometime this year.

I am planning to rebuilt my costum loop in the first week of september.
Will I be able to buy one of those products before I rebuilt?

Is there a Version of the monoblock fitting the MSI X670E Carbon WiFi?

Kind regards

Hi,
The monoblock will only be available for the new upcoming mainboards from AMD and Intel with the new chipsets. The Apex coolers will be launched this year for all sockets. Think in November they will be available.

 

[BthatKing]

Thanks for the quick answers.

But none of them are good for me
I will rebuild with the Core 1 and when the CPU block releases i will change them.

 

[Eddy]

It's always the same..... when new products come onto the market, it's always too late for many people because they want or need it now.

 

[BthatKing]

Yeah i know
As manufacturer you will never have the perfekt timing

I will buy the block either way.
I can use the Core 1 for the lower tier PC

 

[Eddy]

Yes, as a manufacturer you can never satisfy your customers. There's always something wrong. Sometimes things arrive too late, sometimes it's sold out.... Then have fun and good luck with the conversion.

@Eddy

I have one more question regarding the block.

How much will it cost?
Will it be priced like the EK-Quantum Velocity² Edge D-RGB - AM5 Black Special Edition ?

Or cant you tell me?

 

[Eddy]

It will be more expensive than the current Core 1 series. I can't tell you exactly how much it will cost at the moment. Somewhere between 130 and 200€.

 

[BthatKing]

Thank you

Hello @Eddy,

are there any news regarding the Release of the Coolers/Monoblocks?

After destroying my GPU and Mainboard i am looking into buying a x870e Mainboard.

 

[Eddy]

The monoblocks will not be ready until next year. I estimate that they will be available in February/March. I can't tell you any more at the moment.

@Eddy

Okay thank you. But can you tell me something about the "regular" apex 1 CPU blocks release?

 

[Eddy]

Regular Apex 1 in 4 weeks.

@Eddy any update on the "Apex 1 AM5" timeline?

 

[Eddy]

We have postponed the launch to mid-January.

 

[RAWW_94X]

Okay, thank you for the update! I'm really looking forward to it.

I also think January will be an important month for these kinds of products.

The RTX 50XX launch and wider availability of the R7 9800X3D will likely drive many enthusiasts to upgrade and choose their waterblocks, potentially until their next big upgrade (Zen6/Rubin?).

Regarding waterblocks: Will there be Apex GPU blocks for the upcoming RTX 50XX series, or is Core still the top of the line?

 

[Eddy]

When the 5080/5090 will be available, we will also have suitable coolers in stock. But for now, January is just the official launch of the cards. Availability usually follows weeks later.

Hi, was just following the conversation but do you have any tips on what GPU/CPU reference desing to focus on buying? The FE cards from nVidia seem to not be very suitable for watercooling blocks (at least thats what i have heard) But i would prefer cooling a ASUS astral or Strix. Same with the Mainboards, Are their going to be monoblock designs for x870 boards?

 

[Eddy]

With regard to monoblocks, wait a few more days. We'll say more about what we're doing next week. Today we will also show the first pictures.

Reference Design is always the best way to convert graphics cards to water. The coolers are also the fastest available. Coolers with custom design always come later. I wouldn't expect all custom models to be widely available until March/April. You will be able to get Reference right from the start.
