der8auer ECC RAPTOR3

[der8auer]

RAPTOR3 is the result of over a half year of testing, optimization and development in cooperation with German engineers. We completely revised the structure to create the best GPU pot available.

Thin arms allow a very fast cool-down while the structure in the middle reduces temperature ups and downs for the best temperature control.

Additional slots at the bottom of the pot dispense the LN2 to all four chambers and reduce the bubbling significantly.

A black anodized aluminium plate at the bottom in combination with the nickle-plated copper perfects the design.

 

The new stainless steel mounting system will give you the maximum contact pressure and using the stainless steel backplate you don't risk to damage your GPU by bending the PCB.

 

And to protect my work:

 

Patent pending!

How dip is this thermal probe hole?

[der8auer]

12 mm so it's directly at the corner of the high end GPUs like GTX680 and 7970 but not underneath because this would have a negative effect on the heat transfer.

 

edit: Thanks for your comments, guys

Looks AWESOME but DAMN.... the price!!

[der8auer]

Well German engineering is expensive but very good

 

If you have a pot like that you won't need any other in the near future.

[Massman]

 

Now that is just fantastic work. Looks amazing!

[Sam__]

Dat Pot!

[dernettemann]

Awesome work Roman

[Jimba]

What other forms of payment do you take?

[der8auer]

Thanks guys

 

@ Jimba: Well... I'm taking EUR, USD....

 

Of course you can always change a 7 ghz Ivy 1:1

Looks fantastic, but price is in one word: Brutal, sorry but this no one buys at that price

 

and patented? for what?

[der8auer]

I already sold 5 within 2 days so this is not true

 

This pot is taking a very long time to manufacture that's why there is such a high price. Also I'm putting a lot of work into my pots and I'm not willing to gift them away. You buy such a high quality product once and can use it for many years where as you buy 10 x CPUs for binning every year.

That doesn't make sense Of course you can also buy a cheaper pot which only contains a 4-holes structure. The choice is yours. If you want quality - you have to pay for it.

 

The design is patented for a very simple reason. Here in Germany everybody could patent this design. Means you could use my pictures to get a patent and say it would be your product. The result is that I would not be allowed to sell my own products anymore.

Therefore I need a patent to protect myself.

 

edit:

 

I will also offer cheaper pots in future. Still this will stay the absolute high-end-product

Impressive!

Good job der8auer!

[xxbassplayerxx]

Absolutely gorgeous... but I don't think I'll ever be able to afford one! $475 USD + shipping!

Spectacular Gpu Pot, Roman

[der8auer]

Got the new packaging also ready for the RAPTOR3 now =)

 

[Xtreme Addict]

It;s really PRO

 

I think your GPU pots are the most beautiful from all, good job

[jurek]

Wouldn't that pot be cheaper without that gravings on it?

[der8auer]

@ Xtreme Addict: Thanks a lot

 

@ jurek: That would lower the price by like 3 EUR The deep, 10mm wide structure is the biggest problem here. If you create a simple pot with 4 holes it will take 2 minutes to drill them and you're done. This structure takes about 25 minutes on a expensive machine. Also the aluminium bottom part is expensive for such a small thing because it's laser-cut, machined to get a perfect surrounding and brushed for a good look. Afterwards a black anodizing.

after seeing it on the 2nd RoG Camp I must say - wooozaaa what a nice piece

 

It literally "eats" some previous coolers in size and cooling-capacity
