The Apex 1 is already a familiar sight in Black — but White brings a completely different aesthetic to the loop.
Which style would you go for?

This is another build in my Thermaltake Tower 900. I was previously using a Lian Li V3000 Plus and well still am just for another separate build. I saw some Thermaltake Swafans on sale on Amazon for $29.99 a set and decided to get 4 sets for this case. Also I decided to get a XFX RX 9070 XT to go in this build as well. I figured since I was going to use this case I might as well get some new liquid cooling hardware from Alphacool. I purchased a Core gpu block, a Core 1 cpu block, and finally 2 Core 200 reservoir pump tops. I already had a Core 1 LT cpu block and was using it until I noticed it had cracks between the 2 G 1/4 holes in the top. I opted to get a regular Core 1 block and I like it a lot (it's rather heavy for it's size). In addition to those items I have 2 Alphacool ST30 480mm radiators, various Alphacool fittings, tubing from Mayhems, EKWB Cryofuel Space Black fluid, cable holders from Evil Energy, a MSI X670E ACE motherboard, Thermaltake Tough Ram DDR5 6000 CL36 32GB, Sound Blaster AE-5 Plus soundcard, AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, EVGA G+1300W power supply, Cablemod power supply cables, and a 7 inch display I also purchased on Amazon.
I was not happy with the performance of the AXP90-X47 CPUcooler, even with 120mm Noctua slim fan the little AMD 8600G CPU was throttling and maxing out at ~55W. I've recently added a dedicated GPU to the server, so I would like to get a beefier CPU in the future, if thermal headroom allows.
So I decided to build a small loop with a 2x80mm radiator. Only problem it would not fit in the case.
3D printing to the rescue.
Case: Silverstone RM23-502-MINI
Radiator: Alphacool UT60
Fans: 4x ARCTIC P8 Max in push/pull configuration
Now the CPU can run the full 88W TDP no problem.
The fans go to 5000RPM, but for noice levels I have set a fan curve where they rarely exceed 3500 RPM.
hey guys i wanted to ask if i can fit 2 alphacool ut60 420mm on the top and bottom of my lian li dynamic evo xl with my gigabyte x670 aorus elite ax cause i think the heatsink on this motherboard is a lil bit thick
What’s your opinion guys ? Atleast we did it faster than jayztwocents 😂
Better thermal performance for your setup! 🔥
The new Alphacool Apex Thermal Grease is designed for powerful CPU and GPU cooling with an optimized formula for demanding systems.

You guys asked for the video and more infos on the waterblock. Waterblock was made with the carvera air, which is a budget desktop cnc. That’s why the quality isn’t super good, but that’s all we have. Need to open it again and work now on the vrm cooling which is quite challenging as the mosfets are super tiny… and also they run quite on the limits of thermal design which sucks
Hey everyone,
I'm planning a custom watercooling loop for a Lian Li O11 Dynamic Mini V2 and would love a sanity check on my parts list before I order.
The concept: hybrid dual-chamber design
To get the best of both worlds, I'm splitting the loop into two zones:
Why hybrid? It keeps the front pristine, absorbs DDC pump vibration, and avoids nasty bends in the cramped rear chamber.

On sourcing: I'm currently planning to order from bykski.de — is there a better option with shipping to Switzerland at reasonable rates? Thanks in advance!
