[AF] Andreoid & Finnzwerg watercool tinkering (TONS OF PIX)

[Andreoid]

i like this little tools in the cad program... radius tool

the SB Lightcover between the second and third graficcard with triple SLI.
the waterflow ist direct over the SB Chip.

NB PWM block, the waterflow ist direct over the NB Chip.

a view from the side. you can see the placement of the fittings between the graficcards

isometric angle

 

[Andreoid]

this here is interessting
the block and the board are in a cut view .. so that you can see the waterchanel, and the notch of the seal

although playing in 3D i have to test the correctness with an plexidummy

milling it in plexi

fits!

better than the plexidummy...the real ones in copper!

Finn and I are the first ones with offering the cooling set for this Asus crosshair IV extrem..
let's see how quickly the bigger manufacturers will follow us ^^

-------------------------------------------------------------

today a test of our "UPC slim" was published

Our universal PWM (UPC slim) had been tested by the german watercoolingsite "Effizienzgurus.de" against a MVR-100-block by Koolance.
The UPC had got an efficiency-award!

next to a pair of pretty pictures and detailed descriptions of the coolers
there is still a flow test of both coolers (but unfortunately complete in german)

Awesome o.o

 

[Andreoid]

Waterblocks for the EVGA P55 CLASSIFIED 200

so,.. i have a naked EVGA P55 CLASSIFIED 200 lying here
at first the PWM modules....
The water cooler model what I design for cools over the entire length the
digital MOSFET and CPL modules (just like the original air-cooler).
The cooler will cost 45 € ...

Now for the problem case, the NB-SB cooler. Indeed, there are 4 possible options:

Option 1: Two separate cooler, a new model for the NB with series-top and UCDsb for the SB.
I thought to set all this in a package with the UCDsb for ~ 60 €
(usable fittings, max 18mm diameter).
In this version, you maybe get space problems with a thick graphiccard.

Option 2: A Lightcover model as the EVGA P55 FTW 200
with a series-PWM -top ~ 60 € (usable fittings, as desired)

Option 3: Another Lightcover but somewhat smaller than in version 2 ~ 55 €
(usable fittings, max 18mm diameter).
The cooler uses the same cover as in version 1.

Option 4: An all-through-flow cooler ..
but only one way,... a thread up and one down.
~ 65€ because no series top can be used.
In this version, you maybe get space problems with a thick graphiccard, too.

Version 1:

Version 2:

Version 3:

Version 4:

For a version with both threads up, and a channel to the SB an back there,
there is not enough space for the two required channels.

now its your turn... especially of interest is of course the opinion of the people who have a EVGA P55 CLASSIFIED 200

 

[Andreoid]

no opinion to the NBSB at the EVGA P55 CLASSIFIED 200?

btw... happy new year!

 

[Andreoid]

so other forums have been more actively...
maybe i took the wrong time for the classified

stood today with a hangover in my workshop, but here is the finish:
Anfi/tec EVGA P55 Classified 200 set ^^

is in my shop, and will be available at aquatuning.uk/us for 89,90€ (120$)

tomorrow i'll make some more pictures

 

[Andreoid]

The new PWM037 .. cools as the original cooler, the digital PWMs and the CPL components.

and this is the finished EVGA P55 CLASSIFIED 200 watercoolingset:

just like the EVGA P55 FTW 200 had , i had created an opening for the silver quarz in this lightcover.
The distances, except for the connection to the SB, are completely identical to the EVGA P55 FTW 200 Light Cover.
As a cover I have now decided for a series-cover with the size of the UCDgrande.

On the SB there is no engraving ...
in turn, saving significant cost in production because no tool change must take place.
Instead, there is a nice design-gimmick with a few indicated Fins .
This is really just a design element! The SB can be cooled completely
through the copper-bridge to the NB without additional air flow.
The copper-bridge- (Light Cover) technology has proven good temperatures on
many boards, even in overclocked state (eg. MSI 790FX, ASUS Crosshair Formula IV ..etc).
There is no need for critics to redirected at a water channel.
Simply not liking the bare copper, one can say ^^
(Because I know that the question is asked often:
Unfortunately, we still do not have good/reliable partner for nickel plating in the area)

I was against to make a complete new cover, because we can not produce
these low-priced in the same good quality as our series-cover.
I have chosen a series-cover, because we always have them in stock in the highest quality.
This makes the cooler is not only cheaper, furthermore the surfaces and accuracy
the cover remain in the desired quality.

The mainboard is to be quite good for a full cover solution, but to produce
high quality fullcover economically, we miss the instruments for.
This was a compromise that I did not wish to.
Then rather,usual well, but much cheaper.

Not to forget is that the copper part disappears among graphics cards.
The grandecover offers the PCI-E slot a little more space than its predecessor
with the longer PWMtop at the EVGA P55 FTW 200th
The grandecover affords instead of the proposed version of the Nano cover,
a compatible for fittings with a diameter of 22.5 mm.

The EVGA Set is now available in the anfi-tec shop for only 89.90€ (120$)..
In stock next week then at Aqua tuning.

Hi everybody,...
i am so sorry that i have been away for so long.
At the moment i'm writing my bachelor-thesis in engineering in an automotive supply company.
this eats so much time
So i've not made anything new for computers since a long time.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

at july 15th i have finished waterblocks for the Asus Crosshair V Formula.
a user of the "PC Games harware" forum has sent it to me for taking the measurements

Due to my tight schedule due to the studies I have
I again opted for an inexpensive light cover version.
Compared to four individual coolers, i think that this is probably the better solution.

a copper bridge will work again very well at this voltage converters.
This bridge is already proved successful at several coolers. It is very similar
to the Asus Crosshair IV extreme lightcover from 2010.

Unlike to the 2010s light cover is, that the original backplates can be use in continue. So the pressure is exactly the same as given by the original air cooler.

SB cooler has cut-outs for components below the top in the copper .
The recesses were milled in on both sides, so you can chose the position of the connecting thread by rotating the cooler (top and bottom selectable).

SB block

PWM NB combi block (lightcover)

in the lightcover you can screw fittings with a diameter of 22,5mm.
in the little SB block only fittings with a diameter of 18mm

... the cnc has got some huge updates too.. i hope that i have more time soon to translate some more posts

 

[Andreoid]

After a long time here again an update from us! btw.. happy new year

I have now successfully completed my Bachelor of Engineering
and now working as a design(construction) engineer in a mechanical engineering company.
Finn is just in the middle of his full-time study of electrical engineering.

But do not worry, although we had such important milestones in 2010, we were not lazy this summer in Anfi-tec!
Have diligently built in our workshop and the CNC milling machine further.
Unfortunately, the documentation is a little left by the wayside but we try to fill these at later times .

Now for the reason of the posting:
we made 5 new waterblocks!

GIGA-SET07 Gigabyte GA-X58A-OC
* PWM 043 Gigabyte GA-X58A-OC
* NBSB 026 Gigabyte GA-X58A-OC
* UCD sb

MSI-SET05 MSI 990FX-GD65
* PWM044
* UCD grande

Anfi-tec ASUS Rampage IV Formula Set
*PWM 046 für das ASUS Rampage IV Formula
* UCD sb

Asus M5A97 Pro
* PWM047
-----------------------------------------------------------

so whats in here?

wow,.. a mother board... Who would have thought that
a Gigabyte GA-X58A-OC, Intel X58

unpacking

designing the blocks as always, the first is the DUMMY from plastic. today in blue plexiglass.

PWM block:

With a copper-bridge and cutouts for disturbing components from the bottom end.

The PWM cooler was by far the trickiest PWM cooler we have developed!


now fully equipped motherboard Gigabyte GA-X58A-OC
with blocks in copper:

Finn has so unfortunately overlooked two to be cooled components in the prototype for the PWMs :

 

[Andreoid]

Therefore once a redesigns of the PWM cooler, in which the PWM043 grew a bit.

Never before have we had a cooler that had to be milled out with so many levels.
That's almost been like a graphics card cooler:

NBSB026

Complete view of the GIGA-SET07 Gigabyte GA-EX58-OC consisting NBSB026 / UCD SB / PWM043

-----------------------------------------------------------
MSI 990FXA-GD65

The longest and thinnest PWM cooler from us (PWM044)

 

[Andreoid]

the familiar UCDgrande

By this setting here G1/4" connectors can be used as usual.

MSI-SET05 MSI 990FX-GD65

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and some more PWM blocks:

one for the Asus Rampage IV Formula

the new PWM 046 for the ASUS Rampage IV Formula
uses the original screws and the original motherboard backplate of the Board.

As mainboardset with the UCDsb (here only upped the ante without lashes)

how little the water coolers does look on the board when the aircoolers are removed. The airblocks are just show for 70%
see: http://www.google.de/search?hl=de&c...urce=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=2FTuTvioD5GA8gPQgYH7CQ

 

[Andreoid]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

now I have one question to you, does the PWM cooler....

....fit on the Asus Rampage Extreme IV, too? cause they look damn similar. The PWM block has a hole spacing of ~ 100mm. If one compares the air cooler then it looks like the PWM cooler can be compatible.

source: bit-tech.net
Rampage Formula IV was at the left PWMs nothing to cool underneath the airblock. but how does it look at extreme?
Also, the SB I'd like to see naked at the "extreme" ... possibly one of you has the board?

----------------------------------------------
for the Asus M5A97 Pro....

new PWM model
PWM047 Asus M5A97 Pro

10 pictures limit per post tzz

 

[T_Yamamoto]

nice update!

can you do a Z68?

(Z68 is the standard for most of us)

 

[SZLiao214]

Ah these guys, such amazing work.

 

[Andreoid]

nice update!

can you do a Z68?

(Z68 is the standard for most of us)

if i get a board from a user, yes.

 

[T_Yamamoto]

if i get a board from a user, yes.

Someone send this man a board!

 

[Andreoid]

long time ago but here a new update from us.
we build up a photo-corner what gives our productphotos an ultra improvement
here for example the NBSB028

and here an old picture for example

----------------------------------------

btw,.. good things take a lot of time,

So what is this going to be?

the pre-series-production started well

we did sooo many tests to provide the best performance due to our teststation
(looks old and dirty but there is a lot of knowledge for waterblock-testing hidden in the inside)

in the end a little question: from which material is the mounting of your dream CPU-waterblock?
- copper
- brass
- stainless steel
- sth. else?

 

[aigomorla]

Alu... or Titanium

Reason....
Copper tarnishes... turns ugly...
Brass also tarnishes... turns brown and ugly....
Stainless Steel will rust over time, unless its expensive stainless steel.

Alu... doesn't tarnish... doesn't rust.... anodized correctly, will also have cool colors.
Titanium.... because its titanium, its OP....

Possibly Gold plated, but gold is so expensive, its out of the question, and plate can peel with retension hardware, so plating is probably not a good thing on a mounting plate.

 

[Aristotelian]

Yeah if you make an aluminium or titanium (heh!) one for broadwell-e, that could be very interesting!

 

[Andreoid]

sadly titan is much to expensive,.. and our stainless steel not gonna rust
Alu is poor looking,.. so we can use directly the stainless steel for silver.
Carbon is interessting... think we have to try this too

here something neeeew
with alot effort we worked at our new homepage

Anfi-tec.de ...it is not yet 100% ready,... an intelligent compatibility-list will follow.
A page about us, a little page about reference-projects, and a page for partner ist also planed. (maybe the Forum want to have a banner placed there too?)

Annnnd this is not the end:
Here the delicious piece, fresh from the teststation with an absolute top performance in cooling efficiency and flow!!!

With over 130 hours of development-time in design and internal channel geometry the new Anfi-tec "three" CPU waterblock is a worthy successor to our Soleil02 CPU cooler.
Soon the probably most configurable CPU waterblock in the world of watercoolers!
This thing soon is going to shake up the rankings
The top is available in black and white POM, (metal is not planned, and acylic glass we never do because of the risk of fracture anyway)
The mounting will be available in VA, brass and copper
The cover is btw acylic glass in smoke gray and can be changed in red, green, blue etc ... adjusted according to the board!
That will just look good always

 

[aigomorla]

carbon fiber would definitely be bling!
But i see that as also being expensive, especially the curing + mold time required.

 

[Andreoid]

yeah carbon would be cool,.. but it is toxic to mill


For those who want to have the Anfi-tec "drei" CPU waterblock, we also have an AMD version!

(real pictures will follow next week)


The covers on the top we want to offer in various colors, so that it does match perfectly to your motherboard.
Here is a "small" selection:

What color is your favorite? Please tell us, so that we produce the covers in the right color!

 

[Andreoid]

We tried to consider all wishes:
smoke gray (standard), red (goes well with Asus), orange (goes well with Gigabyte), green
light blue (goes well with Intel and Asus), dark blue, neon red, neon blue
neon orange / yellow, neon green, copper, brass

with UV light that is really difficult to photograph. In reality the colors are much nicer

fresh out of the machine, a little dirty from cutting excipient

the stainless steel brackets, we have now there also
Additionally, with copper and brass Cover

You also can choose the mounting-brackets completely

What do you say? Did we forget something?

 

[VirtualLarry]

Wow, cool thread, I missed it the first time around. Great work!

 

[Andreoid]

now a little journey through time:

Anfi-tec CPU01 "exFRS"

Anfi-tec CPU01 "exFRS"

Anfi-tec CPU02 "Soleil01"

Anfi-tec CPU02 "Soleil02" (performance improvement)

Anfi-tec CPU03 "drei"

In terms of time the whole thing looks like this:
30/03/2008 CPU01 "exFRS" was limited to 50 pieces (sold out)

21/12/2008 CPU02 "Soleil01" (sold out)

01.2012 CPU02 "Soleil02" (still about 25 left in stock)

12.2015 CPU03 "three" (series launch of 100 units)

The "drei" is basically an evolution of the Soleil02.
In the inside it has a similar structure. Again, with the multi-intake-outtake principle only much finer, larger, with a calculated structure and only "three" inlets
For the exterior design I wanted something elaborate like the exFRS. Therefore we needed a cover.
Since you want to but have the inlet left or right , the Cover is 180° rotatable and so the lettering is always horizontal.
Because of through the larger structure the cooler went more and more in the width, we had a design forth what the rectangular shape looks outstanding with Cover.
Core inspiration here were the broken triangles of Oblivion ... God I like these:

Because we wanted to present a manufacturable CPU cooler model together with the new website to Christmas, we have refrained from its own mounting bolts and put on proven. Here we have retaining bolt with suspension purchased directly from Watercool which therefore also specify the assembly / lateral insertion height of the bracket. One or the other perhaps has noticed it indeed by himself that we have bought here something
