Most compact water cooling available.

Hi All,

Currently at work I am redesign/improving upon our microscope design, one aim to to reduce the size of the 'Light Engine' (Basically the brain and looks like a normal PC tower). We currently use Aquacomputer Airplex modular system, D5 pump, 360mm copper radiator. We like this because we can have the G1/4 threaded to push fit connector from the unit to the camera and that's it, simple!

We believe that this is over powered for the job as this is only cooling the camera, not CPUs, GPUs, etc. I have had a look for an alternative and came across the smaller version of the 360mm unit in a 140mm version.

I still would like to go smaller, lower profile and quieter! is there a smaller all in one out there? ideally the Radiator, Reservoir and pump in one complete unit were we can literally just bolt to our chassis, we don't mind adding a fan to it later in assembly.

Sorry I'm not to clued up on computer cooling itself!

Many Thanks,
Ben

Not that I know. Belive the Aquacomputer is one of the smallest one can get.

If you wanna go smaller or something I belive you have to build it yourself.

well, this one is probably fit your description:

this would be even smaller https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-xlc-predator-140 but it's EOL and no replacement yet.
though from reliability point of view, i'd still recommend that aquacomputer airplex. nothing beats D5 when it comes to reliability.
