Today, Alphacool has announced the Eisbaer, the company’s latest all-in-one liquid cooler. It also happens to be the biggest AIO solution around, with a 420mm radiator version on the way alongside traditional 140mm and 240mm versions.
With the Eisbaer 420mm, Alphacool has managed to claim the largest AIO liquid cooler on the market, it should also be a top performer too with a pure copper radiator and three 140mm Eiswind fans. The 420mm Eisbaer also comes with quick connectors, so you can hook up any Eisbaer Ready products or some custom gear to the cooling loop. With a 420mm radiator, there should be enough cooling capacity to handle a CPU and a GPU if you wanted to expand.
In order to provide additional options, there will also be 240mm and 140mm versions of the Eisbaer, which use the same DC-LT Ultra Low Noise Ceramic pump. All models also come with a fill port in case you ever need to swap out the coolant or top it up.
For tubing, the Eisbaer uses flexible PVC with quick release fasteners. This quick release is compatible with the Alphacool HF quick-release fasteners, making it easier for you to expand the loop to include more hardware. Here are the technical specifications:

KitGuru Says: I always like seeing these highly customisable/expandable, high performance AIO coolers. Its a nice change from the mainstream AIO units we usually see. Are many of you looking to step up your water-cooling?
The bottleneck here is the pump. Yeah, it ‘s quiet, but it has very little pressure (=very low lifting height). It could be fine for a CPU, but once you add a GPU block the water flow inside the cooling system will be very low. All of thatis, of course, IMHO

that’s what’s stopped me from this type of custom aio
despite gains in aio performance in recent years, custom loop (i.e. from scratch) still seems the best, most expandable, and best long-term solution
Yes. In fact, if you upgrade a custom-loop watercooled PC you only have to change the waterblocks (or only GPU block and the bracket of the CPU one), the rest isn’t touched. On some AIO if you change socket often they don’t sell the new brackets for the block. In fact, for me is full custom loop or air cooling, no AIO
