Der8auer has taken a look at a very unique CPU waterblock with unique tubing placement which hides them behind the motherboard. The waterblock is developed by DIY & Custom PC builder, ModdingCafe, which has labeled the product as "Stealth Tubing".
This concept CPU "waterblock" was initially showcased at Computex 2023. The company did mention that the product was in its initial stages & that improvements were to be made in the future.
So how does this waterblock differ from the traditional ones? Well, this particular waterblock actually has the tubing passing through the mounting holes on the motherboard, resulting in a very clean overall look since there's no tubing hindering the view of your gorgeous PC internals.
Coming to the structure of the cooling solution, the waterblock comes with two compartments, the top one responsible for thermal dissipation across the CPU and the bottom one allowing cooling liquid to be fed into the block. The portions, as usual, are made of acrylic with a subtle RGB option and a unique "flow meter" to tell the status of the overall loop.
However, the mounting process of this CPU waterblock differs from the traditional designs. First of all, you will need to remove the CPU mounting latch on the motherboard, to connect both portions of the waterblock. Once the bottom part is attached, a custom bracket is to be screwed with the motherboard on the top to create the base on which the top part of the block will be attached. For ease, we are including pictures for each step to give you a hands-on idea about the mounting process.
Upon seeing the final product, as said by Der8auer, it certainly looks "elegant", and the thought process behind the waterblock is exceptional. However, the CPU waterblock
