The EK Water Blocks company, specializing in liquid cooling systems and relating components production, presents its EK-FB ASUS Strix X470 RGB Monoblock unit.

 

In the words of the Slovenian vendor, this water block is the first device, intended for system cards, built on the AMD X470 chipset. Specifically, the novelty is aimed at the Asus ROG Strix X470-F Gaming model and is designed to transfer heat away from the processing unit, mounted into the AM4 socket, and adjacent voltage controllers of the power supply subsystem. One should note that, owing to low hydraulic resistance, EK-FB ASUS Strix X470 RGB Monoblock may be utilized even with low voltage pumps.

 

This EKWB product has a copper nickel-plated base and a transparent acrylic cover. It also features full-colour backlighting, supporting the Asus Aura Sync technology.

 

EK-FB ASUS Strix X470 RGB Monoblock costs 140 EUR.

Deepcool Industries, an established developer of high-efficient cooling solutions, introduces its new CPU cooler with a horrendous name Lucifer. This cooler features 140x110x168 mm tower-like framework that is ready to manage the heat produced by any up-to-date desktop processor platforms from Intel (LGA2011, 1366, 1156, 1155, 775) and AMD (Socket FM1, FM2, AM3, AM3+, AM2, AM2+).



Deepcool Lucifer embraces a voluminous heatsink section that contains thirty-six nickel-plated aluminum ribs, six U-shaped, nickel-plated copper heat pipes, and a single 140 mm fan. The latter employs a hydrodynamic bearing and is governed by PWM technology. Fan speed might vary from 700 RPM to 1400 RPM; the maximal airflow produced by the fan approximates 81.33 CFM, while the maximal noise level does not exceed the margin of 31 dB.


It should be mentioned that this cooler is able to remove up to 130 W heat in passive mode (without a fan). The availability of a thermal compound in the nominal …
