Aquacomputer Aquaduct 360 XT Watercooling System

Introduction:

Aqua-Computer is based in Germany and has been creating and manufacturing water cooling products since 2001. While they may be new to your desktop as you read this, they aren't new to the United States. Over the last couple years, they have produced some unique and really well polished water blocks, radiators, and cooling systems. They have been a big fan of Eheim pumps which are among the top choices among water cooling enthusiasts and are no strangers to Laing and Hydor pumps as well.

Aqua-Computer's main page simply states their vision and mission statement:

Reduce noise and enhance the PC-Performance! Aqua Computer is one of the leading manufacturers of water cooling systems. On the following sites we offer you water cooling solutions of the highest technical level. Beginning from an introductory price of 100€ to an absolute high-end-cooling system. All products by Aqua Computer are developed and manufactured in Germany. Our products comply with the highest standards!

After browsing their home and product pages, I gained a good impression of just how far they've come. Many of their products didn't go through any revisions but all out new and better replacements throughout the company's history.  Their integrated case systems include Lian Li, Coolermaster, and Chieftec which are among the more prominent case manufacturers who provide cases that work very easily in this regard. If you haven't noticed, many of their current water blocks and cooling systems look very impressive. Many of their products exude an all out great job of German engineering and design. One of the newest engineered items to be released is the Aquaduct 360XT. It's a complete water cooling system all in one. All you have to do is add a water block of choice. In this particular test, we have Aqua-Computer's newest Cuplex XT Double Impact CPU Water block as well which you just have to see.

Description: Cuplex XT Double Impact CPU Block

This CPU waterblock features a completely new high performance cooling concept. The cooler is divided into two cooling units that are sequentially passed by the cooling fluid and the fluid is accelareted towards the pin structure of the copper bottom part of the cooler twice - hence the name "double impact". The effective flowrate is nearly doubled by this concept, the area covered by the pin structure is significantly increased while the flow resistance is not noteworthy increased. The cuplex XT di is the perfact match to current dual and quad core processors but can also be used for all other processor types. As the predecessor cuplex XT, the cuplex XT di is a high end and high performance watercooler manufactured with nozzle-cooling technology. The bottom is made out of highly pure copper and has an optimized pin structure for a better heat transfer which is significantly wider spread than before. Accelerated via the first sets of nozzles integrated into the middle section made of matt chromed brass, the water is led onto the first area of pins of the copper bottom. The water then is redirected to the second set of nozzles and again accelerated towards the second area of pins of the copper bottom before being led to the outlet of the cooler. The connection threads in the bluish colored plexiglass are manufactured in G 1/4". This cooler has an outstanding cooling capacity used on multi core processors as well as on traditional single core CPUs which beats the cooling capacity of all other CPU waterblocks in our product range. The cooler is planned for use with pumps of the type aquastream and 1046, more powerful pumps aren't needed and only effect a slight advancement of the cooling capacity.
