Need big cooling performance behind that big CPU? That’s exactly what Thermaltake’s WATER3.0 Extreme has been designed for. Featuring a double-length radiator design and strapped with two 120mm high CFM fans, the Extreme is preparing itself for a good fight, whether it’s against an overclocked quad-core, or brawny six-core.
Technic3D hat die NZXT Kraken X60 Kompaktwasserkühlung im Test. Die Kraken X60 Kühlung strebt die High-End-Klasse an und muss sich in allen Bereichen beweisen. Wie das Ergebnis ausfällt, steht im folgenden Review.
We tested the Corsair A70, a CPU air cooler with a tower heatsink, four U-shaped 8 mm heatpipes and two 120 mm fans. Check it out!
Die Konkurrenz schläft nicht. Das dachte sich wohl auch Corsair und brachte neben der bereits von uns getesteten H50 Kühlung nun eine aufgewertete Version ihrer Flüssigkeitskühlung und nannte sie demzufolge „H70“. In wie weit die Aufrüstaktion den aktuellen High-End Kandidaten gefährlich werden kann, zeigt der nachfolgende Testbericht.
Cooler Master's entrance into the water cooling market has been a long time coming. Cooler Master started with the release of the Seidon series, this consisted of entry to upper mid range closed loop AIO coolers and Cooler Master released three models; the 120M, 120XL and 240M. For those who remember we have actually reviewed both the Seidon 120M and Seidon 240M and we found them to be very good coolers for the money.
Cooler Master's other series of water coolers has been plagued by delays. Cooler Master developed the "Eisberg" series of water coolers, these were designed to fill the upper mid range and high end portion of the market except the difference is that they are expandable AIO coolers, like the Swiftech H220 for example. In addition, Cooler Master's Eisberg series is developed in partnership with the German water cooling company Alphacool while the Seidon was a totally in-house design.
Today we start off by looking at the first of the Eisberg series, the Eisberg 120L Prestige. This features a pretty hefty pump/reservoir unit, a fully copper radiator and flexible anti-kink tubing. The unit features G 1/4 inch fittings so you can easily expand it to include additional radiators or water blocks if you so desire. Unlike other AIOs such as the Seidon 120M or Thermaltake Water 3.0 Pro, the Eisberg 120L Prestige is aimed at being a high performance AIO and at the same time being expandable.
When it comes to the world of All In One (AIO) liquid CPU cooling systems you'll be hard pressed to find something that isn't made by either Asetek or CoolIT and rebranded under various company's product lines, the Antec Kuhler and Corsair Hydro series to name a couple of examples. Very few companies have the know-how and expertise to devise their own custom built AIO systems from all their own parts. However, Swiftech stand out clearly from the crowd with their latest innovation, the Swiftech H220.

Today we continue our look at the Eisberg series after taking a close look at the Cooler Master Eisberg 120L Prestige in a previous review which we encourage you to read. The design of this is very similar to the Eisberg 120L Prestige as it uses an identical pump unit with the only difference being a 240mm Alphacool full copper radiator as opposed to the 120mm Alphacool radiator on the Eisberg 120L Prestige. The Cooler Master Eisberg 240L that we have here today is trying to take down the best of the best in the water cooling market. The Eisberg 240L is mainly competing with the Swiftech H220 in terms of being a semi-custom water cooling kit that is expandable.
Within the PC market fan controllers are a very niche product, and certainly the majority of users will never need them. Yet there is still a very strong demand for high quality fan controllers among the PC enthusiast community, particular those who have a lot of fans, who often also engage in water cooling. As a result of fan controllers being a niche market there aren't many companies that sell fan controllers as their specialty. Indeed case manufacturers like BitFenix and Fractal design produce some fan controllers because they are accessories to their main products, PC cases. And recently we have started seeing some case manufacturers integrated quite basic and primitive fan controllers into the design of the case with "low/medium/high" switches or dials for up to 5 or 6 case fans. Yet if you are "serious" about your system, fans and cooling, those are very often not good enough.
This is where companies like Lamptron come in. Lamptron specialise in fan controllers and are known throughout the entire industry for producing some of the best fan controllers in the business. You might think that there isn't much to a fan controller, but Lamptron have shown otherwise demonstrating the versatility of fan controllers and cram a lot of features into what is a theoretically simple device. Today we have a fan controller from Lamptron that takes fan controllers to a whole new level. The Lamptron CW611 (very catchy name I hear you say) is a fan controller that is capable of controlling fans and pumps, as well as monitor fan speeds, pump speeds and flow rates from flow meters. This makes the CW611 an ideal solution for someone looking to take control of every part of their water cooled system and do it all in one place.
The Lamptron CW611 was expected to reach the market in late March but due to Lamptron swapping the LCD display out for a better LCD panel the CW611 was delayed until early May. Now early May has passed, the CW611 is now in stores and you can buy it for around $89.99/€69.99 - a heck of a lot for a fan controller - and we want to find out is whether the CW611 justifies that price by putting it to the test. Anyway, without any further ado let's proceed through this review!
Corsair has long been offering some of the most attractive all-in-one liquid cooling options on the market with its Hydra series, but it’s been a while since the entry-level models have seen much of an update. That changed late last month, though, with the release of the brand-new H55 and revamped H60. Let’s check them out.
