Does Alphacool plan waterblock for AMD AI PRO R9700?

@christoph.schmidpeter first of all excuse me for my late response, but to answer your question:

Could you confirm the exact model of the PowerColor card you photographed?

- R9700 32G-B (active/blower cooling)
- R9700S 32G-P (passive cooling)

I photographed the active/blower model (32G-B). The released Alphacool R9700 waterblock fits on this version. I don't know whether it's compatible with the R9700S 32G-P version.

I hope this helps you!
 
OK, so I was running 2 Nexxos 480s X-Flow (45 + 60mm), Heatkiller Pro IV, Alphacool RAM block, a 6900XT Alphacool block in a very large case off of a single Aquastream Ultimate at 100% and had 129-132L/h.
Now with the additional 9700 GPU block and more fittings which totals roughly 12x 90° and maybe 8x 45° and flow is 112L/h.

Still plenty and I haven't noticed any difference in temperature. Biggest drop is going to come from the block, not from 2 fittings. You'll be fine :)

Actually, were you able to measure the drop coming from the block?
 
Hi @Eddy

Could use your advice on the loop I'm putting together.

I'm planning to run six blocks in parallel through a distribution manifold (possibly the EK-Pro 2CPU 4GPU), using a single D5 NEXT pump.

A few questions about the blocks themselves:

1. Do you have any pressure-drop or flow-rate data for these blocks?

2. Is there a minimum flow rate you'd recommend per block for sustained full-load operation?

3. I saw earlier comments about LEAKSHIELD and Alphacool blocks not being designed for negative pressure. Does that still apply to these newer ES blocks?

I'd really appreciate your thoughts before I finalize the loop.

Thank you, thank you.

No sorry. 4 extra 90° + 2 extra 45° + block cost me about 15L/h.

How much the block drops by itself is really of no relevance to me. I'd wager it's just like most other GPU blocks.
Even if there were an alternative block to choose from (which there isn't), flow restriction would not be a major factor.

For numbers like that, you'd have to look towards people like Igors Lab. I am just a user ;)
