Cooler Master's Seidon 120M impressed us a while back with its solid price to performance ratio, offering similar performance to the competition at a price that was quite a bit lower. The Seidon 240M promises to do a similar thing, although this is very much a "budget" attempt at a premium product - so while the Enermax ELC 240, Corsair H100i and Thermaltake Water 2.0 Extreme all cost £88, £92 and £105 respectively, the Cooler Master Seidon 240M promises to come to market at around £80 which is about 10-20% cheaper than the competition.
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…
We’re currently on a hot streak of XSPC watercooling components. So far we’ve looked at a full loop kit, an upgraded radiator, and an external radiator stand. Today’s review will round out that group of excellently performing PC cooling components with the XSPC Razer GTX690 full cover water block for the GTX 690 Graphics Card. Follow along as we find out if this block can keep our dual chip GPU as cool as this block looks.
Silverstone’s recent commitment to high end cooling is clearly on display in their new Tundra TD02 and TD03 AiO liquid coolers. We have appreciated (and many times marveled at) Silverstone’s engineering and build quality in the past, and they have carried this over to make the 240mm Tundra TD02 and 120mm TD03 truly unique in the world of AiO coolers. At first glance, it is very noticeable that the radiator is thicker than what has come before, measuring at 45mm, but even the Tundra’s fins have been changed to use a planar fin that offers up to 40% more heat dissipation than traditional fins. Elsewhere in the Tundra’s makeup, we find a unique lack of plastic components we are accustomed to, and find them replaced with metals. The pump housing and block of the Tundra TD02 and TD 03 uses a patented screwless design, and is comprised entirely of metal. This lessens chances of leaks, as well as improving overall strength and durability. The mounting kit for the block again replaces plastic and thin metal clips with forged aluminum, and a design that makes for incredibly easy installation on all current Intel and AMD sockets. Both the TD02 and TD03 are equipped with dual 120mm fans capable of 90.5 cfm at 2500 rpm, but produce only 18 dBA at full speed for a quiet experience. Unique radiator trim is finished in white with silver surround around the radiator, and is perfect for painting for those looking to mod. The Tundras are completed with 330mm white corrugated FEP tubing.
Having recently reviewed a cadre of big block, multi-heat pipe air coolers it is about time to switch things up and today that is exactly what we will do by taking a look at an AIO water-cool solution enthusiasts have been anticipating. Back in July, many were troubled by the news that Swiftech would be ceasing sales on its popular H220 AIO/DIY hybrid cooling kit due to a patent dispute. While some chose to import units, others simply took the news in stride and searched elsewhere for their cooling hardware. Today is the day that all ends as Cooler Master have partnered with Swiftech to bring us a spiritual successor in the form of the Glacier 240L.
Aside from a few flaws the Thermaltake Water 2.0 Extreme is one hell of a self-contained water cooler. It offers all the performance equal to AiO coolers with larger 280mm radiators, but it has the ability to fit into any chassis that can accommodate dual 120mm fans in one area. The cooler can also be found for as low as $59.99 right now after mail-in-rebates, making it an absolute steal.
The Zalman Reserator 3 Max Dual is an interesting piece, there is no doubt about that. The design is unlike any other CLC on the market, and it brings some very interesting features to the table. While different is not always necessarily better, we have learned from experience that Zalman’s circular and offbeat designs have worked very well, and were not simply form over function type of thinking.
Völlig unerwartet haben ARCTIC diesen Monat einen neuen Hybrid Kühler vorgestellt, der an die neuesten Grafikkarten angepasst wurde, den Accelero Hybrid III-140. Dieser kombiniert Wasser-Kühlungs-Technologie für den GPU mit einem 140 mm Lüfter, einer verbesserten Backplate für niedrigere RAM Temperaturen und einer VRM Heatsink mit einem 80 mm Lüfter für bessere Kühlleistung. Wie der Kühler abgeschnitten hat, könnt ihr im Test sehen.
In unserem letzten großen CPU-Kühler-Roundup hatten wir den Xilence Black Hawk schon auf unserem alten Teststand. Heute möchten wir euch nun einen kleinen Leckerbissen präsentieren, der so wohl nur in geringer Stückzahl erhältlich sein wird, der Xilence Black Hawk Copper. Dieser ist mit seinem Vorgänger zwar absolut baugleich, aber wie der Name schon erahnen lässt komplett aus Kupfer gefertigt. Ob und wie sich dadurch die Kühlleistung des Down-Blowers verändert, erfahrt ihr auf den folgenden Seiten.
In diesem Video wird Schritt für Schritt erklärt und demonstriert, wie sich die Bitspower Black Freezer Wasserkühler auf einem EVGA X58 Classified Mainboard. Angefangen bei der Demontage der Originalkühler und bis zur fertigen Montage der beiden Kühlblöcke erfahrt ihr hier alles, was ihr für den Umbau wissen müsst.
