Bitspower just launched a digital leak tester aimed to assist water cooling aficionados. This new tool features a hand-operated pump and digital display to ensure your new custom water loop can handle the pressure. Pressurizing the system with air before filling it with water eliminates the risk of catastrophic leaks that can destroy your expensive components. Bitspower is selling the new leak tester on its website for $41.92. Considering the current price of GPUs, CPUs, and motherboards, this has the potential to save you thousands.

BITSPOWER LAUNCHES NEW DIGITAL LEAK DETECTOR
BITSPOWER’S NEW DIGITAL LEAK DETECTOR MAKES PROTECTING WATER-COOLED LOOPS A BREEZE
Bitspower Digital Leak Tester
March 31st, 2022 — Bitspower, one of the world’s leading suppliers of water-cooling equipment for performance computers, has launched the Bitspower Digital Leak Detector—an easy to use, handheld device that allows water-cooling enthusiasts to check for leaks quickly and accurately.
The Digital Leak Detector features a digital pressure gauge and an integrated, hand-operated air pump to pressurize the system. The device is equipped with a rotatable male 1/4″ connecting port, so it can be attached directly to any standard port on a water-cooling system.
Before filling a water-cooled loop with water, users can simply attach the Digital Leak Detector to their system, pressurize the system with an air pump, and keep the system in a closed state. The pressure of the system is displayed on the easy-to-read digital screen, and allows users to see if any air is escaping. If the pressure is kept constant, it demonstrates that the loop has been sealed effectively.
In order to achieve the best results, Bitspower recommends that users pump the Digital Leak Detector to the test pressure and keep the system still for at least 1 minutes. If no pressure drop is observed, the water-cooled system should be able to operate safely.

EKWB has launched the EK-Quantum Momentum² monoblock for ASUS’ ROG Strix X670E-I Gaming ITX motherboard. The cooling plate is constructed of nickel-plated electrolytic copper, while the top is clear acrylic. Designed to cool both the CPU and motherboard’s Voltage Regulation Modules (VRMs), the new EK-Quantum Momentum² maximizes cooling while maintaining a clean look. The Digitally addressable RGB (D-RGB) lighting features 18 LEDs and is fully compatible with ASUS Aura Sync software. Pricing is listed at $209.99 and it’s available for pre-order now at the EKWB webshop.
Alphacool has a new option for liquid cooling enthusiasts that are fans of hard tubing: Introducing Alphacool Carbon Hardtube. These carbon tubes are made from carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) and are available with 13 mm and 16 mm outer diameters. Alphacool’s Eiszapfen fittings are said to work well so no special fittings are necessary. However, carbon is not bendable, so only straight tubes are possible. Pricing is set at $45.80 for a four-pack of 13 mm tubes (each 80 mm long) or $50.89 for a four-pack of 16 mm tubes. Note: When working on the carbon tubes (sawing & filing), it is important to wear protective equipment due to carbon dust. The use of safety glasses, FFP2 masks, and gloves is advisable and work on the HardTubes should only be carried out in well-ventilated rooms or outdoors. Below is Alphacool’s press release.
Cooler Master is known for affordable cases that provide excellent airflow, with the potential for more airflow if you add fans. The N600 is a new Cooler Master case that has a number of promising features. Let us do a deep dive and explore this case.
At first I thought these leak testers were a gimmick but using one on my last build was very nice. I could test at different parts of the build instead of waiting on the whole build to find something hard to get to was leaking. Considering how flaky digital flow and temp gauges can be I went for the older style with the gauge though.
I was in the same boat Bug but the more I thought about it, it is actually smart to test everything before pouring in the water. Whether to spring for the slightly higher cost for the digital version or the old-school analog gauge is really just a matter of preference.
