Ybris Eclipse Chrome:

Those familiar with water-cooling, will surely have heard of the A.C.S coolers from the Italian brand Ybris Their current Chrome block needs to go head to head with its European competitors. Like the name suggests this block is entirely chromed, and if I say entirely chromed I mean entirely chromed.





Each block carries its own serial number, no idea why, but some will find it looks pretty cool :) Maybe they add minor changes to the design and can cross check with e.g.: reviews like these, how that particular block performs. But that's pure speculation on my behalf.



Not an entire flat base, Ybris goes for the same solution like OCZ and XSPC, with a small protrusion to ensure the contact with the heat spreader. Did I already say it was completely chromed?



Ow what's this now ? A back plate ? Amasing, good job there Ybris. The back plate is S775 and 1366 compatible (just flip it around ) and a nice cutout for them Fujitsu chip powered mobo's.



A detailed shot of the Micro block design of the bottom plate.





Interior shots, Ybris uses a nylon diffuser plate, to force the water into the block via the middle and out via the smaller holes on the edges. There are in total 3 different plates. The second one has got slightly smaller holes (mainly the inlet) , the 3rd one is ready for your drilling pleasure. But could the end user improve a design created by an engineer?



Not only do we get a back plate but also 3/8 fittings in the package. Job well done and some extra points for the Italian team.
