Bitspower at Computex 2024: Magnetized Top Water Blocks, Rotary Fittings, Rackmount AIOs

Liquid cooling expert Bitspower brought several new toys to the 2024 Computex. We began our visit by taking a close look at several all-in-one, closed loop liquid coolers by the company for the rackmount server/workstation market. With the AI development and acceleration market picking up, SMBs have rackmount GPU servers, and you'd want to minimize the thermal impact of the CPUs in your blade. That's where Bitspower steps in. The 1U/2U AIO CLCs come in platform-specific variants—Intel Socket E, Socket E2; or AMD Socket SP5; connected to radiators that are designed for 1U/2U cases; and meant to be paired with server fans.

Next up, Bitspower showed us certain gaming PC AIO CLCs with direct-die cooling water blocks. These coolers come with conventional 360 mm radiators, but their blocks feature a surface meant to make direct contact with the CPU die. We're not sure if the cooler includes a de-lidding kit, but one was shown next to the cooler. We could only spot coolers for LGA1700 "Raptor Lake." Next up, the company showed us their Concept X CPU water block with a clear acrylic top that has magnetized edges. You can easily install and replace 'tops' on top of this top. These tops include frosted acrylic, a top that appears like POM acetal, brushed aluminium, among others—anything that sticks like a fridge magnet.
Staying with the Concept X, and Bitspower showed us a set of rotary fittings that should make it very convenient to route tubing, especially in SFF or Mini-ITX builds, as shown in the example below. The Summit Revo series are a new line of large CPU water blocks for motherboards with backside I/O, under the ASUS BTF, MSI Project Zero, and GIGABYTE AORUS Stealth brands. We came across this in Las Vegas, earlier this year. The block basically sandwiches the CPU socket area of your motherboard, with its coolant pathways going through the cooler's mount-holes to a backside component that has the fittings. The Summit ES and Summit XC mainstream desktop blocks were also spotted.

I love the concept x cpu block. Even if it looks like a velocity2 it still looks good and interchangeable tops are a huge plus for me

Bitspower is legit with an actual driver bit on the table.

BP finally jumped on the aio money train. That first pic of the 1u/2u aio makes the rad look fat, fat, fatty. Curious to see where their direct die blocks go.

Moding Cafe is nhienhophach modder. The initial concept for something in picture #4 is concealing water pipes inside the mainboard screw holes. This modification serves as a showcase for an event, here:

and by a miracle way, it have evolved into a co-product with Bitspower. (ง •_•)ง
