SP5 water cooling solution

[omicron0806]

Hi,

would this suffice in terms of parts (not efficiency) or am I missing some parts here? That's for CPU cooling only.

Alphacool ES Jet LGA 4677 / SP5 LGA 6096 2U​

Alphacool ES Mounting Kit EPYC SP5 (LGA 6096)​

Alphacool Eisfrost Xtreme liquid metall paste 1g​

Alphacool hose AlphaTube TPV 12.7/7.6​

Alphacool HF quick release coupling set TPV​

Alphacool HF screw-on nozzle TPV metal - 12.7/7.6mm straight - black - kit of 6​

Alphacool HF screw-on sleeve TPV metal - 90° rotatable 12.7/7.6mm - Black (couple of those)​

Alphacool Ice Compartment - Single Laing D5 - Dual 5.25 Bay Station​

Alphacool VPP655 - PWM - Single Edition​

Alphacool NexXxoS UT60 Full Copper 360mm Radiator x2​

Alphacool Apex Stealth Metal Fan 2000rpm Matt Black (120x120x25mm) x6​

Thank you very much.

That actually looks good. I would do without liquid metal here. I'm not even sure whether 1g is sufficient for the large CPU surface area.
For the pump, I would rather use the Apex pump, which has more power.
For the radiators, the UT60 is not worthwhile if fans are only mounted on one side. This makes them less powerful than an XT45 radiator. The UT60 only make sense if they are operated in Push&Pull. Only then is the cooling performance better than with the XT45.

Well yes, push&pull setup will be used... In fact I'll use radiator from another source, didn't want to name it here it's 40mm (height?), but it's practically the same. Will use another thermal paste also, Isn't Alphacool VPP655 - PWM - Single Edition a D5 pump? I mean it looks like it's almost over now, since I've already ordered it from your web-shop hehe... I mean should have more than 1000 l/h flow right? It'll probably suffice... If not I can always put stronger pump sure. Also tubes will be nophrene 16/10, not the smaler ones I've cited in previous post.

Thanks for the advice!
Take care!

I have no problem if you mention other brands here as well.

The VPP655 is indeed a D5 pump. The Apex would be the slightly more modern version with a bit more power, but the differences between them aren’t huge. You’ll never actually reach 1000 L/h flow rate though—that’s a theoretical value and has nothing to do with real-world performance.

The VPP655 pumps, like all other D5 models, are manufactured by Xylem. Their flow rate specs (like 1000 or 1500 L/h) are measured without any resistance and often with a secondary pump pushing in front. That’s how they come up with those numbers.

The Apex pump is developed directly by us, it’s D5-compatible but offers slightly more power. However, we provide different flow rate values, measured in a small real-world loop. In practice, you’ll likely see around 80–120 L/h, depending on your exact setup.

Thanks for clarification.
