This sounds like a great idea for those who want even more performance from their water-cooling.

When I first read "shower head watercooling" my first thought was the DIY cooling towers people were knocking together in the early 2000's (they were a radiator substitute comprising of a tube mounted vertically with a shower head at the top and a gentle updraft of cool air provided by an intake fan in the lower sidewall).

What happened to that idea? It faded away pretty quickly.

Bong coolers I think they were cooled.

Surely these are not happening now? Was interested in getting a new cpu block and one for the nvidia 3000 series but the lack of info and no updates. I think I’ll order something else. Im not prepared to wait any longer.

So all... Sorry not updated this thread in a while...

We are at...
Intel 12xx 115x cpu block finished
AMD am4 block finished
Trx40 block finished

All 4c or above better than the rest..

TIM finished.

Currently almost finished
Pump that helps give better performance with our block and takes advantage of its thirst.... Also enhances other designs and is very compact.

Radiators very close... We focused on server here and those are done.. Gaming to follow.

Fan almost done...

Finally GPU
Nvidia 30 in design and testing....
AMD 6xxx in design and testing...

We have had big data centre projects with our renewable energy concept in the mix for some large companies who turned into customers... This along with the virus have caused us bigger delays... But our intention was always to drop all these items at once and that's still the idea...

Nice to see a update after so long. Mounting kit looks nice and easy and decent size thumbscrews too. Couldn't care less about tacky RGB as it does nothing for performance. That side mounted inlet/outlet could be a problem for some people as several boards have heatsinks/memory and other components very close to the cpu socket these days. It looks like my board would even struggle to get a 90 degree compression fitting on three sides with the only possible option being the bottom between the cpu and gpu but then the NVME drive would be blocked in.

For us the focus is performance not rgb and these are the best blocks on the market performance wise by afew degrees.

Others are interested in rgb so it's a necessary feature for sales.

The thumb screws are actually torque screws so as to get the exact pressure every time you mount. Just tighten to the click done..... Can't overtighten... This way mount force gives perfect compression to our TIM for the best bond line...

Each cpu socket different torque as all are optimised.

Yes we are doing all new gpu blocks both Nvidia and AMD in testing.
