https://www.techpowerup.com/309364/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 also made its foray into AIO liquid CPU cooling, with its Atlas series white 240 mm and 360 mm AIO CLCs, and Cyclops series 240 mm and 360 mm CLCs. The latter have special "FaceOff" variants that let you swap out their top plates. By default it has a Bitspower logo that's backlit by a 4-diode RGB LED element that can be rotated 360-degrees, but you can make your own logo (such as a gaming clan logo). Both the Atlas and Cyclops series CLCs are in-house designs by Bitspower. They support sockets LGA1700 and AM5.
Lastly, Bitspower showed us their new lineup of cable-free daisy-chain fans that use a proprietary method of connecting several fans in a row (such as on radiators), without needing cables. Contact points between the fans pass through PWM power (for the main function), and addressable RGB. The fans feature fluid-dynamic bearings, and are designed for high static pressure, making them most suitable for liquid-cooling (radiator) applications. The new Griffin series of fans are designed to run solo, and feature the same FDB bearings, but are more optimized for air-type CPU coolers, and case ventilation applications. Bitspower set up several example gaming PC builds to highlight their various products.
Very interesting liquid cooling solutions.
