Corsair might not have been the first to bring the all-in-one water cooler to the market, but the Hydro series was the force behind making them a household name. It all started with the Asetek designed H50, which was by no means a perfect product, but its simplicity, performance and acoustics made it a commercial success. Since then Corsair has switched their Hydro series over from the Asetek design to one from CoolIt. Their latest coolers, however, the H110 and H90 are once again created by Asetek, but they are based on their latest 4th generation design.

In unserem heutigen Test beschäftigen wir uns mit der Antec 620 V4
Kompaktwasserkühlung. In der neuesten Ausführung wurde die Pumpe
nochmals
überarbeitet und verspricht eine höhere Kühlleistung bei geringerer
Lautstärke.
Wie sich die überarbeitete Version der Kompaktwasserkühlung in unserem
Test
schlägt, erfahrt ihr auf den nächsten Seiten.

In diesem Video wird anhand von Kingston HyperX Speichern demonstriert, wie sich der Heatspreader von den Arbeitsspeichern entfernen lässt. Danach werden die neuen Phobya U-Cool Luft/Wasser-Hybridkühler auf den Speicherriegeln installiert. Das selbe Vorgehen, wie in diesem Tutorial gezeigt wird, lässt sich auch auf jegliche andere Speicher übertragen. Das Vorgehen für das Entfernen des Originalkühlers und die Installation eines neuen Kühlers ist im Wesentlichen immer das selbe.

A little over a year ago Zahn put the Corsair Hydro H50 Liquid CPU Cooler through the paces and awarded it our Silver Seal of Approval based on its performance, price and installation procedure. Corsair has since followed up on the original design with the release of the H70 which we will be taking a look at here today. The H70 features a lower profile water block / pump assembly, a thicker radiator and dual cooling fans, among other changes. These improvements sound great in theory but will they translate to real-world performance?

Thermaltake are relative newcomers to the all in one liquid CPU cooler market, but like many other companies they have jumped straight onto the Asetek bandwagon to help get themselves established in this competitive market. The product we have here today, the Thermaltake Water 2.0 Extreme, is Thermaltake’s top-of-the-line water cooling loop. It features a 240mm radiator that is 38mm thick versus the standard 27mm thick we normally see on 240mm-rad AIO loops. A thicker radiator in theory means better cooling performance – although the pump, tubing and fans all have to be able to take advantage of this extra potential.

Après avoir testé le Seidon 120M, PC-Overware s'est attaqué à son grand frère, c'est à dire le Cooler Master Seidon 240M ! Avec un radiateur équipé de deux ventilateurs 120 mm, un waterblock avec une base en cuivre utilisant des micro channels afin d'avoir une meilleure dissipation thermique. Avec un tarif très intéressant (96,10€ chez LDLC), ce watercooling AIO saura-t-il tenir un gros processeur au frais ?

Over the past few years we have reviewed many processor cooling units. Most of them were heatsink fans (HSF) and some plain passive aluminium blocks, but some were all in one water cooling systems that are designed to do everything you want in a neat package.

NZXT's Kraken series is something we have been aware of at eTeknix for a while. We have been expecting these to hit the market for an absolute age and since we heard rumours that NZXT's Kraken series was supposed to demolish the competition, we just couldn't wait to take a look.
As much as everyone probably wanted us to start with the flagship Kraken X60, we are opting to review the Kraken X40 first since it is the most affordable of the two.
You may be wondering - "what is so special about the NZXT Kraken series?". Well that is an easy one to answer. NZXT's Kraken is using a 140mm design, compared to nearly every other all-in-one liquid cooler on the market which uses a 120mm design.
What we mean by this is that the NZXT Kraken X40 comes with a 140mm fan and 140mm radiator (the NZXT Kraken X60 comes with two 140mm fans and a 280mm radiator). This is in comparison to the rest of the market that is still predominantly using 120/240mm radiators and 120mm fans. NZXT are saying that due to this increased size there is more surface area to the radiator which means more cooling performance and better acoustics - but obviously this is going to come at an increased price. As always, we want to know if this increased price still makes this product good value for money.
Increased fan and radiator size aside, the NZXT Kraken appears to be more or less identical to every other current generation Asetek all-in-one liquid cooler I have seen. The pump is the same, the mounting kit is the same, the radiator is the same and the tubing is the same.
You can check out the specifications of the NZXT Kraken X40 here, but without any further ado, lets move on to the review.

Besides standard passive- and air cooling there is also the enthusiast water cooling section in the computer industry. As a matter of fact, water is used by people who want a silent PC, a more chilled PC and even a more stylish PC.
