Aquacomputer Aquaduct XT MK IV

post #1 of 19
Thread Starter 
Just saw these things over at the Aquacomputer forum, they're the newest versions of the all-in-one external units AC has done for a while now; just buy the water blocks with one and you're set for the system:



Key details:

499.90 Euros for the 360, E599.90 for the 720 on the Aquacomputer store. Available at the end of the month, from the same place.

These use the same pumps as the MK III, which if I recall properly is a custom Eheim 600 (600 LPH/1.5m head, don't remember power draw but I think it's 11 watts). Sebastian (AC forum admin) has assured members at the AC forum that there will not be a point where the flow rate negatively impacts temperature, even in the 720 model (in case you're worried that it's not powerful enough, which it might not be if you've spammed water blocks everywhere in your system).

They feature a built in water quality sensor to measure conductivity and corrosive properties (among other things, I think) over time; not needed IMO, but it is exclusive to the Aquaduct, it will not be sold as a separate device. The readings from this sensor can be displayed in the Aquasuite or on the Aquaero XT. There are other sensors, as well, for water temperature, flowrates, in/out air temperature, and water level.

These feature older Airplex Pro radiators, mainly because if they were to use the new AMS rads, they'd have to redesign the whole thing and it would set launch back quite a bit.

There is an RGB LED built into the water column in the units and it can be customized via the Aquaero XT/Aquasuite.

Since it has an Aquaero XT built in, it expectedly comes with the handy Aquaremote.

I think I covered everything... if I haven't Shoggy can likely answer things better. To me they're far too expensive to seriously consider, but they're very nice nonetheless.

At those prices I'd get Cyberdruid to make me a radiator case!

I am sure they are quality build, but for that price, I just don't see the justification, I find Mora to be more reasonable and they look just as good, and performance ain't bad either..

But I guess if you really do want that piece of mind, all their stuff is made in Germany so no cost cutting, behind the door embezzling (made in china), QA is top and YOU do get what you pay for..

If you buy an entire loop setup based off Aquacomputer's products, you can be sure you are getting the best of the best in workmanship..

The Airplex Pro rads (used in the Aquaducts including these, as noted) are made by Magicool, but that's not a bad thing in this case...

they look really nice but for the price you could get phobya 3 rad holder and the rads and still have change, but saying that if I had the money to waste I'd get 2 of the 720's

The pump is 12V. And... Well the best custom pump by them I found was around 5 Watts so it may not even be as much as 11. Just a fyi. thumb.gif

I know the pump is 12v, I was trying to figure out what the actual wattage was on it. They easily could have gone with a higher-end Eheim like they've done for the Aquastream series but it seemed like a better business decision not to.

I know I realized that after I posted it, But the best aquastream pumps are pushing out like 5w max.. And I think the eheims are smaller yes? Im going to recreate my own version of this eventually. for my Build.

I had one of these a few years back and it worked surprisingly well. The workmanship is top notch and looked great.
