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.

Bitspower at 2024 CES: Griffin Radiator Fans, Summit Blocks, New Water Cooling Gear, Enigma Light Panels

Bitspower brought a large bag of new toys at the 2024 International CES. The first thing that caught our attention was a familiar-looking case with infinity reflection lighting. On a closer look, it turned out to be a Lian Li PC-O11D Evo XL that's been given a neat aesthetic uplift thanks to the new Enigma Light Panel kit by Bitspower. You arrange these along the edges of your side- and front panels, and the provide an impressive, infinity reflection effect. It works with standard 3-pin ARGB, so you can mix it with your regular lighting setup. Next up, are a slew of CR Slim series reservoirs that are designed in the distribution plate format, which they line up with one of your glass panels, providing a better view of your coolant. There are various sizes, ranging from 120 mm x 120 mm, going all the way up to 803 mm. x 140 mm, with fitting ports at strategic locations to align with your CPU and VGA blocks, and radiators. The reservoirs come with preparation for a standard D5 pump, and feature a side cover that has the ARGB LED lighting, the diodes aren't studded into the acrylic as such. Bitspower released a mounting brackets of various sizes to help you correctly mount the reservoirs and accessories in place.

Bitspower Shows Off its Liquid Cooling Prowess at Computex

Liquid cooling major Bitspower, which sells both DIY and AIO liquid cooling solutions under its own brand, as well as serves as OEM for other brands, came out with a comprehensive lineup of new products at the 2023 Computex. We begin our stroll of their booth with the Summit lineup of CPU water-blocks and CPU area monoblocks. The company showed us their Summit series LGA4677 block for Intel Xeon W workstations, made of nickel-plated copper and POM acetal tops. These completely dwarf the company's Summit series blocks for AMD sWRX8/sTRX4 Threadripper sockets. The company also showed off a series of CPU area monoblocks. These are motherboard model-specific rather than socket-specific, because they have to be tailored not just for the socket, but also the components in its vicinity, such as CPU VRM.

The innovative new Summit M Silent is designed to reduce noise caused due to coolant flow (by bubbles and vortexes). This is essentially a nickel-plated copper plate that guides coolant through the micro-fin lattice. While the block material is copper with acrylic top, these blocks have additional brushed aluminium top-plates. The Summit M Pure lacks this feature, and is a typical copper+acetal block. Both the Summit M Pure and Summit M Silent come in Socket LGA1700 and Socket AM5 variants. The AMD variants have design-level optimization for the MCM layout of "Raphael," "Vermeer," and "Matisse." Bitspower also showed us a plethora of new fittings, including 45° extenders, 90° extenders, rotary fittings, and static ones. These come in four color options—black, brass, white, and chrome. All four are made of brass. The company also showed us their CR series flat-type and cuboidal reservoirs with provision for integrated pumps.

Bitspower Intros Low-Profile M.2 SSD Armor

Bitspower today introduced the Low-Profile M.2 SSD Armor, an M.2 SSD heatsink which, as its name suggests, is designed to be compact. This should come in handy for cooling mid-thru-performance segment drives that lack heatsinks, or for making them fit for use with PlayStation 5. The Bitspower heatsink is a simple hunk of extruded anodized aluminium, along with a thermal pad, and elastic bands that hold the heatsink in place. The heatsink is 22.2 mm in width, 70 mm in length, and 5 mm in height (thickness). The company didn't reveal pricing information.

Here's the first picture of the ASRock Radeon RX 7900 XTX AQUA, marking the debut of the company's top-of-the-line AQUA brand to its graphics card lineup. The ASRock AQUA line of motherboards come with liquid monoblocks that let you cool the processor, chipset, and CPU VRM using your own DIY liquid-cooling loop. The Radeon RX 7900 XTX comes with a factory-fitted full-coverage water block. The OEM of this block is unknown (could be either CoolIT or Bitspower). The block features a nickel-plated copper primary material, with an acrylic top and vinyl film for the brushed-aluminium look. The top is studded with addressable RGB LEDs. The block sits on top of ASRock's most premium custom-design PCB for the RX 7900 XTX, which pulls power from three 8-pin PCIe power connectors.

Bitspower Releases Socket AM5 Compatibility Kit for its Water Blocks

Bitspower, one of the world's leading suppliers of water-cooling equipment for performance computers, today launched the Bitspower AM5 kit which can transform AMD-based Bitspower CPU water blocks into an AM5-compatible product. More and more setups used by gamers, streamers, and creators will harness AMD's new AM5 platform, which provides native support for up to 170 W—meaning there's power to do more, play more, and create more than ever before. However, with this increased power comes higher temperatures.

Fortunately, AMD has ensured that existing AM4 cooling solutions can be supported with their newest motherboards, with the product's height and port distance being managed in a 7 mm increment. With the new AM5 kit, Bitspower's current range of AMD CPU blocks can directly migrate to AM5 socket motherboards. The company's latest generation CPU water blocks, such as the M Pro Water Blocks, are optimized for cooling Ryzen 7000-series CPUs, allowing users to take that already-powerful processor to new heights.

AMD Threadripper PRO 5995WX Overclocks to 5.15 GHz, Crushes Cinebench R23 World-Record

An AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5995WX 64-core/128-thread workstation processor was overclocked to 5.15 GHz all-core by Taiwanese overclocker TSAIK, under extreme cooling, and it [predictably] crushed the Cinebench R23 world-record. The chip scored a godlike 116142 points in the multi-threaded benchmark, ahead of the previous record-holder—105170 points scored on a Threadripper 3990X, by Splave.

The 5995WX, as we mentioned, was subjected to extreme cooling, using liquid-nitrogen. using a Bitspower-made evaporator. The chip was supported by 128 GB of octal-channel DDR4-3200 memory, and an MSI PRO WS WRX80 motherboard. Windows 10 21H2 was the OS of choice. Threadrippers will continue to dominate multi-threaded CPU benchmark leaderboards until Intel can put up a fight with an HEDT variant of its upcoming "Sapphire Rapids" processor.

GALAX GeForce RTX 3090 Ti HOF OCLab Edition PCB Pictured

Here are some of the first pictures of the drool-worthy GALAX GeForce RTX 3090 Ti Hall of Fame (HOF) OCLab Edition graphics card, courtesy of Duck OC. This is the first production graphics card to feature two ATX 3.0 16-pin power connectors, each capable of delivering 600 W of power. The card's power limit out of the box is reportedly as high as 516 W, and as we've discussed in an older article, the decision to go with a dual 16-pin connector setup may have to do with limited availability of PSUs with 16-pin connectors, and enthusiasts relying on the NVIDIA-designed adapter that converts three 8-pin PCIe power connectors to a 16-pin, for a maximum power of "just" 450 W.

The RTX 3090 Ti HOF OCLab Edition sticks to the long tradition of GALAX HOF graphics cards with white PCBs, with plenty of overclocker-relevant features such as consolidated voltage measurement points, a decluttered component layout for volt-modding, anti-condensation surface-treatments on the PCB, dual-BIOS, and lots more. The card features a 28-phase VRM, with 24 phases for the GPU, and 4 phases for the memory. The OCLab Edition SKU in particular comes with an included full-coverage water block sourced from Bitspower. The block features nickel-plated copper as its primary material, and a clear-acrylic top that's studded with addressable-RGB LEDs. There's also an air-cooled variant of this card, but it lacks the OCLab tuning.

Bitspower Launches Digital Leak Detector

Bitspower, one of the world's leading suppliers of water-cooling equipment for performance computers, has launched the Bitspower Digital Leak Detector—an easy to use, handheld device that allows water-cooling enthusiasts to check for leaks quickly and accurately. The Digital Leak Detector features a digital pressure gauge and an integrated, hand-operated air pump to pressurize the system. The device is equipped with a rotatable male 1/4" connecting port, so it can be attached directly to any standard port on a water-cooling system.

Before filling a water-cooled loop with water, users can simply attach the Digital Leak Detector to their system, pressurize the system with an air pump, and keep the system in a closed state. The pressure of the system is displayed on the easy-to-read digital screen, and allows users to see if any air is escaping. If the pressure is kept constant, it demonstrates that the loop has been sealed effectively.

Bitspower Launches Summit M Pro CPU Water-Block

Bitspower, one of the world's leading suppliers of water-cooling equipment for performance computers, has unveiled its most powerful and high-performance water block for Intel and AMD CPUs: the Summit M Pro.
