A Waterblock With A Whole Other Level Of Cool

One is not used to describing a waterblock in terms of having a 1440×1440 resolution running at 60Hz, but here we are.  The Granzon GAISC Digital CPU waterblock does indeed offer that in addition to being an integral part of a custom watercooling loop.  It has a 2.2″ square display that Windows will detect just like any other monitor, it might be a bit small to try to watch YouTube videos on but you could certainly decide to do so.  On the other hand you could display data from AIDA64 or a different type of monitoring software.

As for cooling, there are four BSP G1/4″ threaded ports, two on top and two full sized ones on the side.  This is because the GAISC Digital is huge, it measures 90 x 94 x 42mm (3.5 x 3.7 x 1.7″) and weighs in at about 500g.  It will fit on any modern Intel processor and even does a decent job at cooling them.  However that screen means the price is significantly higher than other waterblocks, even ones that outperform the GAISC Digital.  It is the only way you will be able to watch the PCPer Podcast on your CPU cooler though.

Check out TechPowerUp for a full tear down and review.

Granzon ups the ante with its GAISC CPU water block featuring a ~3" 1440p 60 Hz panel which you can use as a second monitor inside your PC. The display is fully customizable using Windows, the block has four G1/4" ports to use, the cold plate is large and allows for good thermal performance, and yet there are multiple cons to be aware of.
