Motherboard makers all shift the socket around, so the tubes would not fit. One sticky part iBuypower hasn’t quite solved is the CPU’s cold plate, or water block. IBuypower will manufacture its own GPU water blocks for various graphics cards, so the same hardline tubes can be used in all builds. This lets the same hardline tubing be the same on every build, regardless of whether it’s a Radeon 5700XT or a GeForce RTX 2080 Ti iBuypower Rather than depend on technician hand tightening each fitting, iBuypower uses aīecause every GPU is different, iBuypower will make its own custom water blocks, but with the inlet and outlet in the same place on every card. The nut isn’t permanent and can be unlocked, but only by pressing on a collar on the fitting. Rather than using traditional compression fittings, which are usually hand-tightened-another inconsistent human issue-the company will use a nut that locks onto a hardline tube once it’s inserted, again eliminating variability which may also cause leaking.

IBuypower gets around having to use compression fittings By using a machine to bend every tube, iBuyPower can eliminate the variations that might slow down a build. Humans are artisans, but when you want every tube the same, you turn to a machine. The same water distribution block will be used on every CL case to simplify custom-loop builds.Įach tube is also traditionally custom-cut and bent by a tech building a machine.
