Raijintek Intros Forkis DDC Ultra CPU Pump+Block for DIY Liquid Cooling Builds
Raijintek today introduced the Forkis DDC Ultra, a CPU water block with an integrated pump, with which you can connect a DIY liquid cooling loop using your own fittings. With its retention module in place, it measures 80 mm x 84 mm x 45 mm (WxDxH), and features a nickel-plated copper cold-plate. Right above it is the POM+aluminium casing, which contains a DDC Ultra pump with 150 kPa (21.7 PSI) pressure, and 3.8 m (13 ft) head, and 750 L/h discharge rate; along with a ceramic bearing that's rated for 50,000 hours. The cold-plate features a large microfin lattice throughout its inner surface, so the block is even optimized for MCMs such as the Ryzen 7000 "Raphael." The block has threads for standard G 1/4" (fittings not included). Among the CPU socket types supported are LGA1700, LGA1200, AM5, and AM4. The company didn't reveal pricing.

but yea, "pump in block" generalization with this Raijntek product seems to be the major red flag which will surely get their lawyers attention

And frankly, I can't wait for Asetek's patent to expire, and we get better AIOs again from former giants such as CoolIT (still around, IIRC, and Corsair's older AIOs using CoolIT pump+blocks were generally superior), and some other overseas rivals.
This setup looks really nice overall, but shouldn't we wait for tests/reviews before passing judgement on it, yes ?
However, I am calling them out for the chintzy looking logo, surely it wouldn't have cost them but a few pennies moar to make it a complete "Raijintek" which would have looked soooo much better IMHO :)
