normally Innovative products come from years of smart people doing detailed
engineering and stuff like that Alpha cool does have some products like that
here at their computex Booth but the best thing was a simple happy accident
this right here is the alpha cool metal fan and they came up with this idea very
simply because marketing wanted it they wanted a metal fan and you know it's
made out of zinc so it's not all that expensive it looks really cool and then
turns out it's amazing so if we look at
the structure of this thing so we have the zinc housing and then a plastic sort
of bearing carrier with an O-ring that goes around it it's all sandwiched
together and what they found out is it works fan freaking tastic no pun
intended they aren't totally sure why but this is an incredibly quiet fan they
tested in their lab and they were like that seems like it's wrong and then they
sent the Igor's lab and he was like yeah this thing is incredible so this fan
right here is currently running at 2900
RPM and even though it's it's loud here you can't tell
this sounds like a 900 RPM fan it is
absolutely crazy they aren't totally sure why this is but their guesses are
that first of all the metal has a lot of mass it can stop transferring vibrations
also the O-ring there is probably like a decoupling layer of sorts but either way
the results do not lie I want a bunch of
these on my case because not only does it look cool but it works so darn well to connect to
your PC it's a very simple daisy chain none of this over complicated nonsense
just a very simple fan header that goes in something like this they are
considering doing an RGB version in the future probably just a little Center bit
here but I really like just the classiness of
the metal no RGB when it goes on sale the fan is expect to be only 29 US
Dollars which for the performance and
the looks seems like an absolute steal they have three versions here so the
chromed out one white one and of course the black but because of the modular
design it's super easy for either them
or just the user to make this any color that you want the next product that we
have here is the complete opposite when I saw this carbon fiber on top of this
40 90 water block I just completely assumed that it was marketing BS and
they're like no they'll just make it pretty carbon fiber cool but there's a
really good reason for this typically it just is not possible to fit this kind of
Hardware into a one new chassis because Delrin would mean that you have to do an
additional 10 millimeters of thickness to hit the stiffness that is required
for a water block dang it does look really cool though almost the school is
a Segway to our sponsor you want to know a secret secret lab chairs are great
they're Sleek ergonomic high quality chairs are built to withstand the rigors
of gaming or office work for long hours their Titan Evo 2022 series chair offers
four-way lumbar support comes with a magnetic memory foam head pillow and is
offered in different upholsteries like hybrid leatherette soft weave fabric and
Napa leather secret lab also has a range of Gaming Chairs designed in
collaboration with popular games such as League of Legends valorent and OverWatch

next we've got the new core one CPU Cooler they said their old version
wasn't quite able to keep up with the 3900k just because the dye is getting so
big it's output and so much heat is absolutely a ridiculous CPU I love it
but the new one right here you can sort
of see that they have greatly increased the amount of fins and the area of those
spins they say that that drop temps by 10 whole degrees but the most interest
testing thing is that it just looks freaking great very recurring theme this
right here is in white but then they've diamond cut the edge right around here
and it looks absolutely fantastic now of
course it's being Alpha cool they love cooling servers and they've taken all of
their learnings from the core one and put it into a 1u block I said it was a
huge pain in the ass because you have to go in here you can't have fittings on
the top of course and then it goes up over and then down onto the fins that
cool your CPU and of course you get some
cool functional carbon fiber right here but of course if you're cooling a server
you don't want some piddly CPU that gets cooled by something like this you want
the big monster and this right here they said basically what it is is it's four
of these guys but just slapped around
like that you can really see it in this one right here where it goes down and
it's just channeled out in each Direction like that I think it's
collected around and back out but of course functional carbon fiber only gets
you so far let's look at some carbon fiber that's there just to be fancy with
the Apex Pro skeleton case this thing right here is packed to the gills with
carbon fiber water cooling stuff and all
of these little pieces right here or CNC machined you might be thinking this
would be insanely expensive and at 900 dollars it kind of is but that's not too
bad given that for that you still do get the distribution plate vertical GPU
Mount and all of well this craziness
right here if you want a more Bare Bones version it does come in at more like 400
Euro but if you haven't water cooled before it can be rather scary and Alpha
cool has a couple of things to help you out starting with the core distribution
plate if we look here normally on something like this you just have tapped
holes straight into the acrylic and it's a little bit scary because if you
tighten it too much you can have Micro cracks that will lead to leaks or you
can just strip it out and I don't know if she's done return it to fix this
Alpha cool has the G1 quarter threading in metal and then if you look very
closely they have two O-rings on the
inside of it so although it's not impossible to screw up I'm sure someone
will find a way it's a lot harder than before another way that you have a very
bad day is if you over tighten the screws that hold your distribution plate
in place to overcome that they have these little push pins here so you screw
one side into your radiator or case and the other one into your distribution
plate this right here stops at a certain amount so you can't over tighten and
blow everything up and then you can just push it on
and it's just way simpler than the normal way that you have to do it of
course you're a skilled Craftsman you're not scared about accidentally cracking
your acrylic blocks you're scared of some time down the line something coming
loose and your computer getting filled with water but Alpha cool has a solution
for that right here we have a prototype and they don't have it named yet but I
want to call it the alpha cool save your bacon let's have a look here this right
here it's currently pressurized to minus 420 millibar nice and if we come over
here we can take this tube that has water
flowing through it at the moment and if we give it a little cut not all the way
through of course well just a little cut
am I through oh there we go you can see that happening
you can see that it is sucking in air and it's getting very mad
but no water is coming yet which is absolutely fantastic
even though we are sucking in air there
is still some water flow so your components aren't going to just fry
themselves and you can do a proper shutdown a couple more small things they
have a radiator that has RGB on it now very cool apparently it also has two
more cooling channels so it works very good also over here you can see that
they have a water cooled server what they said they've actually been doing is
3D scanning client Server Chassis and
then designing them a completely custom water cooling setup this can be very
very critical if you have like a one use Server Chassis it's having even a little
bit extra tubing can be enough to pop it up and then uh what do you know top
doesn't go on doesn't slot in bad time what hopefully wasn't a bad time though
was you watching this video huge thanks for watching hit like get subscribed
just have a great whole day see you later
