We welcome all users of Alphacool water cooling products.
This thread is to discuss about your computer modding projects and to share your thoughts and images.
I may just start myself with an image from a build that we recieved recently from a customer.
He uses Alphacool GPX and CPU water blocks together with a Alphacool VPP pump in the dual bay reservoir and 3 radiators.
After reading Thermal Bench review of the Alphacool Coolmove2 1800rpm fans I was taken back. I wouldn't have given these a second thought given their color scheme but their performance is quit good and price is outstanding. Any chance you'll be making them in other colors? and or maybe a pwm version? If I had a preference it would be Black frame white blades. White blades pick up the color of any scheme used nicely. Seems a shame to limit such a fine product.
Hey @AT-Pascal, I ordered some parts from Alphacool a few days ago, and haven't received any tracking info. Is there a way to find the tracking info online?

Just an FYI: Thursday May 14th was a national German Holiday and they were closed. I ordered on the 13th and didn't get my shipping notice until the Friday the 15th.
It'll still be delivered on Monday the 18th though.

Hmm. I got a confirmation that payment was received on the 11th, and haven't heard anything since. Of course, the tracking could be right there, but I don't understand the German portions of the email.

If so you can get the tracking number by logging into your account there and View your order... way down at the bottom (last line) it lists the tracking # if there is one assigned.

No, it's just English language version. everything still ships from Germany. but I still get delivery faster than PPC, which is just across the state from me.
My loop, mainly Alphacool with some EK, Phobya, Primochill etc
Don't have a windowed case so apperance matter little to me.
First layout, used for ~6months. Supposed to be clear coolant but made the stupid mistake of mixing mayhems biocide extreme and Aquatuning AntiCorro.
Changed it to this layout as I am going to add another XT45, a 240, in the bottom and also swap the GPU to a R9 290X with a GPX block.
EDIT: Took some better pics today as I was re-arrangeing some stuff in the case. Noticed the discoloration in the RES, though it might be algea, so I added a drop of Biocide extreme in addition to the kill coil. It might be the coil reacting to something in the loop too?
The drain-hose is the only hose I re-used, so that is why it looks so crappy. The other tubing is Primochill LRT that has been in the loop about a week.
Took out the bottom HDD-cage and mounted the top one to make room the coming bottom RAD.
A sidenote, when using the Alphacool Bionic NB-eLoop 1200rpm fans above the rad in pull, use some sort of distance creating parts between fans and rad. Mine rattled against the rad, very annoying. Got 120mm (2mm thick) rubber "gaskets" that I cut the sides off, only using the corners. Cut the sides off as the ring around the fanblades would rub against the gasket otherwise.
This is before cleaning the fans btw...
A small drop of glue holds the rubber in place on the fans. Easy to get off if I want to.
Here comes another build with the Alphacool Lighttower from a recent customer.
I think the orange fluid he uses in combination with the orange fans is very special.
Obviously I have the alphacool monsta. When I bought it I wanted the thickest 240mm avaliable on the european market. I later on had two xt45 in the bottom of my cosmos II, but now I use only one monsta with push/pull. I wanted to have a xt45 360mm in the top as well, but 45mm thick is too much for my chassis so I got a EK instead. Overall I think alphacools stong point is the radiators. Cpu blocks exist as well and they are probably good also. The other parts dont seem so intresting though. Many vendos have shifted to magicool radiators lately since they are very similar to the alphacool ones.
I definatley recommend alphacool radiators, they are full copper and soild quality and suitable for slower fans.
