Having an absolute beast of a PC is perfectly fine until you need to keep it cool. All that power comes at a price, and often that price comes in the form of heat. In fact, thanks to the laws of physics, power and heat are synonymous, and unfortunately overclocking enthusiasts are always plagued by this. Sensitive components inside your PC want to generate heat, but they can only handle so much heat. Keeping your PC cool is critical to the health and lifespan of any machine. So I can’t help but thank Bykski for his incredible dedication.
Prolific Twitter Source Momomo_ US (opens in new tab) found something new Bykski external water cooling unit (opens in new tab) (via tom’s hardware (opens in new tab)) Scheduled to be sold in Japan 525 USD equivalent (opens in new tab)That price seemed about right, as pre-orders have opened on . Bikski website (opens in new tab) at 559.99 USD. Given the price ticket, you would want very impressive cooling, unlike other coolers. (opens in new tab) I heard recently that this cooler could be bigger than your PC, so it might work fine.
Rather than matching the cooling unit inside the case to the rest of the components, this unit sits outside the main case, drawing heat from the PC to its own cooling setup, thus potentially masking it. At 419 mm tall, the case is on the taller side of the Midi, which is not very big for a tall PC case, but is quite large for cooling only.
The Bykski B-1080-CEC-X looks pretty intimidating, but it’s not difficult to set up. Rock three easy vertical mounting G1/4 fittings that should be attached to most liquid cooling loops used in PCs. From there, it uses an integrated pump, radiator, and reservoir system and packs all his 120mm fans in a 3×3 configuration into a 419(H) x 488(D) x 138mm(W) case. Yes, this is absolutely overkill. I really want
The unit claims to be able to handle up to 2,000W of heat, and given that even high-end modern gaming units don’t put out 1,000W, this pup is clearly made for bigger things. But that doesn’t mean it has to be used for them.
The Bykski B-1080-CEC-X is perfect for server situations and keeps all those drives comfortable under pressure. Alternatively, if there are several different machines within reach, he can direct the cooling of all of them to one box. It’s also a good way to potentially separate kits. Putting all the beautifully over-cooled features in a separate case allows for what looks like an incredibly sleek mini build.
Again, this epic cooling station isn’t for everyone and has a lot to offer (opens in new tab) To keep your situation nice and cold without breaking the bank like this monolith.
