A traditional watercooling set up can take up quite a bit of space after fitting a pump, reservoir, radiator and blocks. Over time, companies have been making water cooling more accessible with various all-in-one units but there are still plenty of people that prefer custom water cooling. If you are low on space, then the Alphacool Eisbaer Solo could help, acting as a CPU block, pump and reservoir.

The Eisbaer Solo is super compact, integrating a pump and reservoir into the CPU block itself. The inlet and outlet are positioned on top of the block as you would expect, there is also a fill port to get coolant working its way through the loop. Standard G1/4″ connections are used too, so this will be compatible with the majority of standard liquid cooling gear available.

Inside the block, you'll find as DC-LT low noise ceramic pump, which is also used in Alphacool's all-in-one CPU coolers and external cooling products, like the Eiswand. The pump rotates at 2600rpm and uses just 4W of power, making it one of the more eco-friendly options available.

Here are the technical details:
Pump: Alphacool DC-LT 2600 Ultra low noise Ceramic
Speed: 2600 rpm
Voltage: 7- 13.5V DC
Power Consumption: 4W
Maximum Flow Rate: 70L/h
