Frequently Asked Questions

What is watercooled.net?

A website to help you find components for your custom water cooling loop, as well as present some basic information on pricing for those products. It is NOT a price comparison website, the primary purpose is to help you find blocks for your hardware.


What manufacturers do you keep information on?

All "reasonably accessible" brands. Though there's no solid definition for this, the brand should be accessible to a wide audience, not be region-specific and be marketed or available to a regional, or international audience. This includes every well known brand, quite a few lesser-known or niche brands, as well as some indie makers.

This also excludes some very-region specific brands, such as some of those found in China. Brands found on AliExpress or sold outside China are typically available, but brands found exclusively on Taobao are not.

Tell me about the prices that are displayed.

The prices and stock are typically updated once per day. You can see the last update time by hovering your mouse over the table row.

The exchange rates are updated at the same time.

All prices displayed include their respective local taxes, which you may or may not have to pay when buying from worldwide retailers.

As such, all prices shown are for reference only. The price you pay will likely differ, unless it is a retailer that is local to you.


How do you make money?

We don't. This is a hobby project. As such, information is updated when possible - usually every one or two days, but nothing is guaranteed.


Is this website owned by a manufacturer? Is it biased towards any manufacturer or retailer?

No. It is an enthusiast-maintained website with no external funding or influence.

All listings for products are displayed in a randomised order.

All retailer prices are displayed in alphabetical order.


Could you explain the GPU water block compatibility symbols?

Physical - This water block is on the manufacturer's compatibility list with no disclaimers.

Vendor - This block has been confirmed to fit either by the water block manufacturer directly, or through the GPU AIB manufacturer. This designation is sometimes used by EKWB.

Logical - This block is almost certainly guaranteed to fit. It's typically used in cases where an OC SKU is on the compatibility list but the non-OC SKU is not, among other similar situations. These SKUs almost certainly share the same PCB, with the only difference being the BIOS.

Visual - This block is highly likely to fit, a designation commonly used by manufacturers such as Alphacool and EKWB. While the manufacturer may not have physically tested the block, an inspection of the PCB indicates compatibility. It's not uncommon for AIB partners to utilize the same PCB for multiple cards. This designation is also used where our own research on PCBs indicates compatibility. Please confirm compatibility with the block manufacturer first!
