I like this channel a lot. As to the QD's (I use the latest Koolance QD3 version). I find it convenient to orient QD's such that QD junctions are arranged to be uniformly flow oriented. I find this helpful for maintenance and to ensure that I reconnect the loop correctly. One possible convention is the QD;s are arrange such that coolant always exits the male connector and always enters the female connection. I have a many such junctions and found this helpful. I construct a loop from scratch, I tend to create a diagram indicating the orientation of the various connectors. This helps assess what connectors may need to be ordered.

Given that you have a flow sensor, and you know the flow of a given test loop, you could create a flow drop percentage chart (flow impedance chart) for any individual component that can be added to a loop, and then that could be a usable tool for users who want to buy components, or could at least explain why certain parts perform differently to others

Quick side note in regards to mounting this water block in any direction. Yes, you can, however, you won't be able to rotate your screen. iCUE does not support screen rotation so you're stuck in 1 position, which is the one with the tube mounts on the right side (between the block and RAM). Corsair said they're working on on a potential solution, but it's been a few years now and still we've heard nothing from them since then.

Would be interesting to see those angled connectors impact on flow rate, I remember since the early days when I started with watercooling in about 02, 03, many many ppl on forums (sound old right) were telling that those are really restrictive... Maybe that had an impact back in the days when not all blocks were that low flow restrictive and I can still remember a guy telling that running D5 from koolance on 12V at 600l/h is a waste and you need to pull 24V from ATX connector to get 1200l/h :DD

I'm in the process of shopping for CPU blocks, so the overall comparison you did + adding to it as new blocks come through has been super helpful. I'm still waiting to see what direct die blocks come available for Intel 13th Gen (der8auer micro?), but right now running a GPU only loop looks a little funny haha.

"built-in cold plate thermal sensor" tells me that it's supposed to measure the temperature of the cold plate. You know, like a useful measurement point in between the CPU temperature and the water temperature. But the way it's set up, it's not going to be an accurate measurement at all. It's not a water temp sensor, because it will conduct some heat from the cpu. It's not a cold plate sensor because it's like 3cm away from the heat source. That means it's useless marketing garbage, just like everything else Corsair makes

I got the non-LCD version of this block, replaced my corsair xc8 JTC edition, same setup and thermal paste and dropped 5 degrees C, I think it has more to do with the mounting solution in my case as I am on AM5 and my old block was designed before AM5, either way I'm loving the performance of the block, and it looks great in my rig!

Hi Roman, thanks for the video. I'm not quite sure how given your testing process and where you put the temperature probe in the contact frame, however do you think it would be possible to do a direct die test comparison here using the same methods? I'm curious to see how the velocity2 with direct-die option that you already tested in a previous video fares in this setup / comparison.

Good review/breakdown 🤙🏻
Random question tho, why have the male part of the QDC on the block? All the pressure from the disconnecting is put on the male end, the female end pushes it away, I always thought that’s a way to eventually crack something cuz of the pressure on the blocks/plexi/etc. just a thought.

Hmmm on the notion of measuring the cold plate, could it be extrapolated through the use of:
* The temperature probe that's as near as the cold plate and effectively measures the water temperature
* Use the temperature of the CPU cores and assume that the IHS is mounted with the prescribed mounting pressure
Then use a parametric temperature model of the cold plate, that is gathered through the use of thermal simulations/material properties and real-world simulation. Thus be-able to proactively estimate the temperature of the cold-plate real time. I think the use of such data can be used to more effectively tune the necessary flow rate and fan speed.
On the other hand, it may be overengineering as the thermal conduction of heat ,for such a concentrated component such as a CPU is constrained by physics.

Nice blocks and performance but the most chill on the table is the cat.
