The German-based liquid cooling specialist Aqua Computer has added the water block kryographics Pascal to its portfolio. Due to an almost equal PCB it is possible to use the cooling block with the GTX 1080 and GTX 1070. For the first time Aqua Computer uses a jet plate in a kryographics block. The changed channel flow reduces the already low flow resistance. The large slotted cooling structure above the GPU offers an outstanding cooling performance.

While developing the block Aqua Computer paid attention to route the cooling fluid through all important areas. A bypass channel after the GPU helps to reduce the resistance of the block and allows water to flow directly above some RAM modules. The kryographics Pascal is completely CNC machined. Production takes place in Aqua Computers own production facilities in Germany. The base is made of electrolytic copper with a thickness of 10mm. A precise manufacturing allows using thermal grease not only for the GPU but also for the RAM. This ensures the best possible connection between the graphics card and cooler. For the voltage regulators a thermal pad is included in the scope of supply.



Preinstalled nickel plated spacers allow for an easy and secure installation. All relevant contact surfaces are polished to gain a perfect heat transfer. The connection terminal is made of Delrin and can be replaced with kryoconnect adapter kits to connect blocks with each other for SLI setups.

In about two weeks the kryographics Pascal will be also available in a nickel plated variant. Moreover, customers can choose between a clear and smoked acryl glass cover.

Aqua Computer is also working on a backplate that will be available in about two to three weeks. Besides a passive variant there will be also an active variant with a heatpipe that makes direct contact to the cooling fluid. The backplate will offer an increased contact pressure in the area of the voltage regulators and the GPU to optimize the cooling performance to the maximum.

The price of the kryographics Pascal copper versions is 99.90 Euro while the nickel plated versions can be purchased for 114.90 Euro. The passive backplate will be available for 24.90 Euro and the active variant for 39.90 Euro.

I am more of a fan of blocks that cover the entire card. However this is till a nice block.

I had a Aqua computer block ( actually still have it) for my 680 and was seriously impressed by the quality of the machining and I'm a machinist! haha

Actually kept it with the intention of machining my own block for a future card and reusing the Acetal water connection part and stand offs on my block. Never needed to though.

That would be cool, a custom milled block made by yourself! :rockout::pimp:

Its a full cover block because it covers all the electrical components. I meant one that goes all the way from end to end over the entire block regardless of if it covers any additional components. I just prefer not to have any of the PCB exposed.

Ahh ok, i know it was a full block which is why i said what i did. but by the looks of it a full PCB coverage would be a pain in the ass as you can see those caps are the high point.

Probably the first and currently the only fullcover for GTX1080, that does not cover the space for additional power plug. Me gusta. :)

Man I'd love Aqua components but their card connectors look a little weird compared to EK's that is sleek.
