Closed loop water cooling is the big topic of the cooling world right now. The newest entrant into that scene is Thermaltake with their Water 2.0 series. Today we take a look at the Pro model, with an extra thick 120mm radiator. But will it stand up to a comparable high-end air cooler?
Up for review today I have another CPU cooler, but this one is liquid based. Cooler Master has sent over the Seidon 120XL all-in-one liquid cooling system which is a closed loop setup that requires virtually no maintenance from the end user besides blowing the dust out of of the radiator every once in a while. The Seidon 120XL features the ability to use one of two of the included 120mm fans, how many you use will depend on your needs of course, but I found that using either one of two the Seidon is very quiet and performs extremely well at keeping the CPU cool either at stock or even at overclocked speeds. The Seidon 120XL is very well made and fairly easy to install as well. So read on to learn more and how everything works…
Cooler Master and Swiftech have teamed up on the Glacer 240L, taking the foundation of the H220 and turning up every aspect another notch. It is still fully assembled and filled out of the box, and uses one of the easiest to use and best engineered install kits ever seen on an AiO liquid CPU cooler.
Let's test Zalman's LQ320 sealed liquid cooling system for CPUs, which has a 120 mm radiator cooled by a 120 mm fan. Check it out!
Liquid cooling kits are often a good way for those inexperienced with PC water cooling to "get their feet wet" so to speak, without having too difficult a time during installation or likely chance of failure due to mistakes or mishaps. Some systems like the recent CoolIt ECO or Corsair H50 really simplify things by being pre-assembled and sealed, making them no more difficult to install than most aftermarket air coolers. Others, like the Tt ProWater 850i or Swiftech H20-220 Compact, do require assembly but include all the parts you will need and/or combine some of the functions of each piece for ease of installation. The item that we have for review today falls into the latter category, Swiftech's latest series of water cooling kits, the H20-X20 Edge.
The Kraken X60 is a sealed liquid cooling system for CPUs, with a 280 mm radiator cooled by two 140 mm fans placed side-by-side. Check it out!
Im heutigen Artikel können wir eine weitere, kleine Auswahl von CPU-Wasserkühlern vorstellen. Diesmal werden der Alphacool Niagara, der Watercool Heatkiller 3.0 in der günstigen LC-Version, der Koolance CPU-350AC sowie der Ybris Eclipse ausgiebig durchgetestet und mit allen bisher vertretenen Kühlern verglichen. Wie sich die vier neuen Kandidaten schlagen, erfahrt ihr in diesem ausführlichen Bericht.
CPU-Kühler auf Grundlage einer All-In-One-Wasserkühlung gibt es schon einige Jahre, mit der erste Vertreter dieser Gattung ist vermutlich den meisten nicht ein mal bekannt. Er wurde im Jahr 2006 vorgestellt, hört auf den Namen AIO-S80DP und stammt von Xigmatek. Seit dieser Zeit hat sich der Markt weiterentwickelt und diverse andere Hersteller haben ebenfalls kompakte Wasserkühlungen allein für den Prozessor - und mittlerweile auch für Grafikkarten - auf den Markt gebracht. Einer der Großen in diesem Segment ist CoolIT. Das kanadische Unternehmen bietet eine Vielzahl an Kühllösungen an, welche sich sowohl im Leistungs-, als auch im Lieferumfang unterscheiden. Einen der kostengünstigeren Kühler - den ECO A.L.C. (Advanced Liquid Cooling) - haben wir auf Herz und Nieren geprüft. Wie der Kühler abschneidet, erfahrt ihr im folgenden Review.
If i was to go out and visit any computer related store around where i live and i was to ask which types of CPU coolers they have available in their inventory right now chances are they will only have regular CPU air coolers and some AIO liquid CPU coolers. Unfortunately even now custom water cooling kits and parts are still considered niche hardware components in many places and that goes double for other types of cooling like waterchillers. Of course AIO liquid CPU coolers are reasonably priced, are easy to mount and offer very good cooling efficiency levels which in some cases can even compete with those produced by custom water cooling kits. Unfortunately however they don't support expandability and that has always been a serious drawback for enthusiasts, overclockers and even serious gamers. We did predict that eventually we'd see "hybrid" models designed after both AIO liquid CPU coolers and custom water cooling kits and shortly after Alphacool made their debut with the Eisberg line EK WaterBlocks just released their very own EK-XLC Predator line.
The build up to SilverStone's Tundra series of All-In-One closed loop liquid CPU coolers has been a very exciting one for me. While quite a few of news sites falsely reported that the Tundra is based on a collaboration between SilverStone and Asetek/CoolIT, the Tundra series is unique because it is entirely in-house. That means SilverStone designed everything themselves from the ground up. The model we have here today is the flagship Tundra TD02, the 240mm radiator based version, and this unit (like the TD04) uses an aluminium unibody and has some rather unique aesthetics. Aluminium and alloy is are the materials of choice throughout the majority of the product's construction making it both high quality and unique looking.
