The H220 water cooled CPU cooler has hit the desk for testing. Take a look at Swiftech's idea of what all AIO's should be.

Enermax's entrance in to the all in one water cooling market is one that interests many. This is primarily because unlike most other competitors, they have not opted for the traditional Asetek or CoolIT route. Instead they have opted to go with Asia Vital Components (as far as I know anyway). Even if AVC are not their chosen partners, it is still clear they are not working with Asetek or CoolIT. What this means is that performance will probably differ a lot to Asetek and CoolIT units, potentially for the better or for the worse - only testing will reveal this. Today we have with us the Enermax ELC 240 and as the name would suggest this product uses a 240mm radiator along with a pair of Enermax 120mm fans. With the ELC 240 Enermax are bundling two T.B. Silence 120mm cooling fans. Unlike the Enermax ELC 120 which comes with a choice of T.B or T.A fans, the ELC 240 is only available with T.B fans meaning you cannot have an LED option. Other than that key bit of information, the rest of the main specifications can be seen below.

Everyone know Cooler Master and their Gamer Cases. But in this review we will look at
something completely different. It is the compact Cooler Master Seidon 120M Liquid CPU
Cooler - a compact and closed system with radiator and CPU block with built in 12 volt
pump.

Thermaltake's Water 2.0 series has already come and gone. We were lucky enough to be able to take a look at the Water 2.0 Extreme which we felt was a great cooler in terms of performance but was let down slightly by its very high price tag relative to the competition. Now Thermaltake have progressed to the Water 3.0 series and with have with us today the Water 3.0 Pro. The Water 3.0 Pro is a dual 120mm fan Asetek based AIO cooler that features a 49mm thick, aka double thickness, 120mm aluminium radiator.

Nous avons pas mal monté-démonté ces derniers temps. Et nous voilà arrivés donc au dernier de notre série d'AIO, le H80i. Corsair propose ici une alternative aux Antec 920 et Enermax ELC120. Il est question ici d'un 120 push/pull jouant dans la cour de la performance. Pour cela, il fait appel à de la vitesse, pas mal de vitesse. Comme nous le disions dans la vidéo, il n'est pas certain que cette performance s'effectue au profit du silence. En tous les cas, voyons voir ce qu'il en est le concernant.

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.

Antec have had good success with their AIO water cooling solutions in the last few years, the Antec 620 and 920 have long been two of my favourite solutions when doing system builds. They may not always have achieved the best temperatures in performance benchmarks, but on a personal level I’ve found the build quality to be rock solid and sometimes it is the long term performance, not the benchmarks, that can make or literally break a build.
The new cooler from Antec is looking to do things a little different with a strange new pump and radiator combination unlike anything we’ve seen before. It’s a tribute to Antecs ideals of function over form and if the it will be interesting to see not only how it performs, but also how it looks.
As always we will be looking for solid performance in our benchmarks, but we would also like to see the solid build quality Antec are known for. With a price tag of around £45 it is competitive with most high end air coolers and is about on par for most AIO 120mm radiator coolers. It has a good range of support for popular socket types and its 120mm radiator should ensure high compatibility for most chassis design. Now let’s get right to it and see what else it has to offer, then put it through its paces on our test bench.

Corsair delivers yet another revision to the Hydro series. Take a look at what the H75 AIO has to offer and if it's worth buying or not.

Today we are going to take a look at the Zalman Reserator 3 Max Dual. The Reserator 3 Max Dual, if you didn't catch by the name, is essentially a dual version of the Reserator 3 Max combined into a single solution. With more cooling surface, we now have more room to dissipate heat that our CPU may be throwing off, also giving overclockers an added benefit to push their processor to the limits with little worry.

We take a look at ID-Cooling's Frostflow 120L CPU liquid cooler. The asking price is very reasonable, but how about performance? Let's see.
