IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Lian Li Announces The
CB-01 CPU Water Cooling Block In The US
Lian
Li Style and Craftsmanship Brought To DIY Water Cooling Enthusiasts
November
5, 2015, Keelung, Taiwan -
Lian-Li Industrial Co.
Ltd
announces the CB-01 CPU Water Block. Manufactured by Lian Li in
partnership with cooling experts from Overclockers, UK, a world-record
overclocking team, this is Lian Li's first water block ever. With their
passion for quality materials, the CB-01 is made to the same exacting
standards as Lian Li's outstanding cases. The cold plate has a heart of
solid copper in a nickel coating and a final layer of tin-cobalt for
extra cooling, durability, and corrosion resistance. The top is a
translucent acrylic block that visibly guides the cooling waters
through the microchannels. The simple yet sturdy mounting fits
virtually all modern and past motherboard sockets securely. For a bit
of flare, there are holes pre-drilled for 5mm LED lights.
Ultra
Thin Microchannels for Targeted Cooling and Water Flow
The CB-01 uses a standard G1/4” thread so most DIY water cooling
components will easily fit the inlet and outlet ports. The inlet is
deliberately offset against the outlet to allow the coolest water to
enter the block in direct contact with the middle of the hottest CPU
core. It then flows across the other cores and vents on the opposite
side. The microchannels have an area of 32.2mm by 27.3mm but because
they are contoured with precision grooves, they provide a greater
overall surface area. While not the largest, these dimensions were
deliberately chosen to strike a balance between high restriction and
high flow for the best cooling for its size. Lian Li used their
precision manufacturing to ensure the microchannels are as thin as
possible for maximum performance.
Easy-to-Install
on Any Motherboard
The CB-01 fits any modern Intel socket, including 2011/1366/1155/1156
and 775. For AMD, it supports AM2+/AM3/AM3+/FM1/FM2 motherboards. The
Intel plate comes pre-installed on the CB-01 but the AMD bracket, if
needed, is easy to swap in. There are back plates for both AMD and
Intel CPUs and a universal, dense foam spacer to protect the back of
the motherboard. The CB-01 is installed simply by screwing in 4
standoffs then screwing spring-loaded nuts down onto the long bolts.
Like all CPU coolers, Thermal Interface Material (TIM) must be used
between the cold plate and the CPU plate, applied according to the
thermal paste manufacturer's guidelines.
The
Cool Factor
There are many reasons to water cool a PC: better overclocking
performance, quieter operation, fewer fans, or saving space. Even when
hooked up to fittings and tubes, the CB-01 takes less space than a
stock cooler. Its efficiency allows the radiator fans to be pushed to
their peak for overclocking, or slowed to near-silence without losing
normal performance. It can do all that and look good doing it – albeit
lacking Lian Li's hallmark brushed aluminum, the CB-01 still looks
fantastic.
