Today we take a look at three entry level liquid cooling solutions. They are the Seidon 120M from Cooler Master, Corsairs H55 and the Antec Kuhler 620 V4. All are aimed at the £45-55 ($60-70) price point but which offers the best performance, features or ease of use?
LeChuck, der für seine Wasserkühlungs- und Kompressekühlungsgehäuse bekannt ist, hat im Kundenauftrag einen Benchtable entwickelt und fertigt diese nun auch in Serie. Vorweg sollte man jedoch beachten, dass dieser Table nicht in großen Stückzahlen wie bei z.B. Lian Li, Silverstone oder Coolermaster gefertigt wird, sondern noch echte Handarbeit darin steckt, über kleinere Fehler sollte deshalb hinweggesehen werden. Nach bereits mehreren Beta-Tabeln ist der neuste Table nun erschienen. Er wird aus 1,5mm starkem Aluminium gestanzt, daraufhin gekantet und später verschweißt. Der Table wird später gepulvert und ist in allen RAL Farben erhältlich, die bei LeChuck auf Lager sind. Sollte eine Farbe nicht verfügbar sein schlägt LeChuck eine möglichst ähnliche Farbe vor.
Corsair fut le premier fabricant à ouvrir au grand public le marché du watercooling autonome. Les solutions de la gamme Hydro Series que proposait alors la marque (H50 et H70) avaient été élaborées en partenariat avec le fabricant Asetek, l'un des leaders de ce segment jusque-là réservé aux professionnels et aux intégrateurs. Aujourd'hui nous testons la relève et le modèle dont il est question bénéficie du savoir-faire de l'autre géant du milieu, CoolIT, déjà à l'origine du petit H60. De cette récente association est né le H80, modèle venant prendre la place du H70. Mais est-ce que ce changement de partenaire permet d'apporter un plus tant sur le plan de l'innovation que des performances par rapport à ce que nous connaissons déjà ? Sans plus attendre, allons mettre à mal le petit nouveau pour lui faire cracher le morceau.
Nous vous présentions au début du mois d'octobre le H80, nouvel arrivant dans la gamme Hydro Series de Corsair. Ce kit de watercooling tout-en-un était l'un des résultats de la toute récente association de la marque californienne et du géant du segment CoolIT. Ce modèle, comme nous l'avions vu, se révélait très performant et creusait un &eacut e;cart certain sur ses prédécesseurs et sur son concurrent direct, le Kühler H2O 920 de chez Antec. Mais voilà, Corsair ne se contentait pas de ça et annonçait dans le même temps le H100, déclinaison équipée d'un radiateur de 240mm, capable d'accueillir jusqu'à quatre ventilateurs et toujours réalisée en collaboration avec CoolIT. Cette évolution est-elle suffisante pour à nouveau assommer la concurrence à coup de marteau et se démarquer du déjà très performant H80 ? La réponse se trouve peut-être dans ces pages.
LarKooler was established in 2009 to manufacture cost-effective PC cooling solutions. MadShrimps reviewed their first entry in to the DYI in the end of 2009; while it was not the most high end or best performing kit out there, the total picture was right on track with LarKooler's main objective: provide good cooling performance at an amazing bang for buck ratio. Since a few years AIO units took over a big part in the cooling business, with the most successful being the Corsair Hydro series. Ease of installation is their main trademark, however as most of these are closed loop, there is no option to integrate extra components in the cooling loop. The latter is the strong point of the DIY kits besides being versatile to add extra components they also provide awesome cooling performance at a low noise ratio. The SkyWater 330 kit today is one of those ready to build kits, however price wise it retails at a similar price as the high end 240/280 AIOs. Million dollar question can it beat those in raw performance figures ?
With the summer coming up everyone is in dire need of adequate system cooling and Larkooler knows this. A while ago they introduced their new watercooling kit, which should be silent, cool and artistic at the same time. The KU3-241 is the follow-up of it’s older brother which means it must bring better performance to the table; let’s see if this holds true!
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!
Are your NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 or GTX 570 running hot and loud? Overclocking potential limited? Koolance, a company well known for water cooling, has the answer with a full coverage water block that is just dead sexy. Legit drops this on one of our recently reviewed GTX 570’s and sticks it into one of our under water systems to see if it performs as good as it looks.
In diesem Video wird Schritt für Schritt demonstriert, wie sich der Originalkühler von einem Asus Rampage II Extreme entfernen lässt und wie das Mainboard danach mit Wasserkühlern ausgestattet wird. Als Wasserkühler kommen die Koolance MB-ASR2E sowie MIPS Mosfet Freezer zum Einsatz.
The Koolance CPU-LN2 is a "DIY" processor evaporator pot for liquid nitrogen or dry ice cooling. It features a nickel-plated solid copper cold plate that has been combined with a black acetal upper container. Read on to see how this extreme cooler does with DICE and LN2!
