AIO blocks

I haven't seen any. But before i begin my google search i thought i would ask the community.

 

Anybody taken appart an AIO block to see what sort of design they are using to shed heat into the water?

 

I mean we all look at our custom blocks, some more sexy than others, and all the company's trying to one up each other in fin design, water flow direction, restriction, placement of inlet/outlet, (if you really care that is) and then we got our tops that provide more sexy, or performance, or nothing comparatively.   

 

So have you see an exposed AIO base plate?

As far as I've been able to discern from transparent blocks, it's just a big windy tube to increase surface area. It would be impractical to add something like fins, which would add surface area but introduce turbulence, requiring a better pump. The milled surface of the metal would be enough to provide extra surface area while also allowing decent flow.

 I have now seen a nxzt kraken base plate, and a h70 base plate, both seem to use straightpass (top->bottom, L->R)   with what appears to be thin (estimated 4-7mm tall) die covering water placement, both with fins to add output presumably/channel water through the block to the outlet side.

 

those are the only two i have seen so far, one was just a picture, and the other was a h70 youtube disassembly

Gamers nexus have done quite a few of these disassemblies if you want to look for them. Usually most of the aio's share the same design (Aseteck is the biggest and most commonly used supplier) so once you see the one disassembly you've seen them all. The only thing different would be the PCB to control the rgbs or the temp monitors.

Thanks for the info and reply.   i will check them out when i got some more spare time.

 

I was just curious, I guess it makes sense that they most use the same specs. Just like most rebranded pumps are nearly identical in the end.
