Components and Design Cont’d
The waterblock is solid copper and incorporates a stacked fin design. It has a small pump built right in, which operates on 12 VDC, uses less than 10 watts of power, and provides a tach speed output signal.

The forged copper base has a raised circular pad that is machined flat with a smooth finish.
The aluminum radiator included with the Aquagate Mini is sized for a 120mm fan (the R80 kit radiator is sized for a 80mm fan). It is designed to be mounted in a rear case fan opening.
The following picture shows the relative size of the R120 radiator compared to a Black Ice Extreme on the left and 6x6x2 heater core on the right. All three radiators are designed for use with a 120mm fan.
The included 120mm x 25mm fan incorporates a variable speed control, which allows adjustment from 800 to 2,800 RPM (confirmed during testing).
The system comes pre-assembled and pre-filled with water-based coolant. Cooler Master’s Thermal Conductivity Fluid is basically water and antifreeze (10-15%) with anticorrosion and disinfectant additives.
The Thermal Conductivity fluid is sold separately should you ever decide to take the Aquagate apart and need to refill it. It is VERY important to use a coolant with strong anticorrosion properties because the system utilizes a copper waterblock and aluminum radiator, which sets the stage for galvanic corrosion. This shouldn’t be a problem as long as the coolant used is designed for a copper-aluminum environment but if straight water were used, it would quickly lead to system failure.
The waterblock/pump assembly is attached to the radiator with two short lengths (~12′) of black hose (1/4′ ID x 3/8′ OD).
As mentioned earlier, the Aquagate Mini includes universal mounting hardware, which supports Intel P4 (LGA775, socket 478), Intel Xeon (socket 603/604), AMD K7 (socket 462) and K8 (socket 754/939/940) platforms.
Mounting plates are included for each of the popular Intel and AMD platforms.
Once the proper mounting plate is selected, it is bolted to the base of the waterblock with four tiny screws.
ciao a tutti!
inanzitutto
ciao a tutti!
inanzitutto vorrei specificare che non tutti comprendono o capiscono come funziona un raffreddamento a licquido.
sono anni che lavoro su questo tipo di raffreddamento in tutti i campi, maggiormente sulle automobili di vecchio inpianto.
al radiatore i raccordi non sono paralleli questo vuol dire che il flusso dell liquido viene raffreddato benissimo, il liquido deve per forza attraversare tutto il radiatore,altri di questo genere di raffreddamento hanno i raccordi paralleli quindi il liquido non deve per forza attraversare tutto il radiatore è questo va a discapito del processore che aumenta di temperatura.
laciate i commenti a chi ne capisce di queste cose.
questo aka Robotech della Cooler Master e un ottimo se non dire eccellente prodotto.

P.S.
l’unica pecca di questo
P.S.
l’unica pecca di questo raffreddamento a liquido è
il prezzo un po eccessivo,e non è alla portata di tutti.
a mio parere il prezzo dovrebbe oscillare sotto le 100€
dimenticavo di scrivere:
i raccordi non sono saldati ma a innesto è questo vi da un margine di lavoro per sostituire o aggiungere altri componenti per esempio raffreddamento wga o cipset
concludo se abbassano il prezzo sarò il primo a comprarmelo.

So after a lot of digging I found you guys I’m still running a
Cooler master 120mmx120mm x25mm 12volt .50Amp fan on my Asus cyberpower gaming PC I was wondering if I’m able to purchase the same make and model fan from you guys or if there is one that is compatible with the said fan I’ve looked all over and anybody who says they have it is sold out out of stock or it’s not the rite one. The numbers are. A12025-28RB-3EA-L1
PL12512HH-LV 3PIN WITH SPEED control blk red yellow wires. If u could help me 8n anyway I’d appreciate it thank you for your time
