Watercooling
"Wasser- oder Luftkühlung, welche soll ich nehmen?" Diesen Satz liest man nicht selten. Doch wo liegen die Vorteile einer Wasserkühlung und lohnt sich die Anschaffung einer preiswerten CPU-Only-Lösung in den Zeiten von leistungsstarken Prozessor-Luftkühlern? Diesen und einigen weiteren Fragen wollen wir im Laufe des folgenden Artikels auf den Grund gehen.

Corsair brings out a new 2012 edition H60 AIO liquid cooler for us to try out. Stick around and see everything that is new in the Hydro Series

For true CPU cooling performance and silence, air cooling is not thought to be the solution. You need water cooling. It seems a scary concept – cooling your processor with water – which is why many enthusiasts steer clear of the idea. Moreover, it can be costly with an average kit easily topping the £100 mark.

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.

Aiming to stamp their authority in a rapidly-growing market, the trio of ‘Seidon’ units represents Cooler Master’s first range of globally-available, new-generation all-in-one liquid CPU coolers. Can the mid-range Seidon 120M prove itself as a viable competitor to the likes of Corsair’s H60 and Antec’s Kuhler 620?

Corsair have updated the waterblock design and given the Hydro H60 a new compact profile which hides functional changes to the integrated pump and improves mounting bracket installation significantly. All of this is transparent to the end user though. Being the 'entry level' water cooler model, the H60's waterblock lacks the integrated fan controller and LINK hardware present on the Hydro H80i and H100i units. No matter, you don't need the software/USB stuff to operate a watercooler such as this.

Wasserkühlungen bieten durch ihre hohe Flexibilität und enorme Rohleistung nach wie vor interessante Optionen für ambitionierte Anwender. Dabei spielt die Kühleinheit für den Prozessor natürlich eine maßgebliche Rolle, weshalb wir uns in einem umfassenden Vergleich elf aktuellen Wasserblöcken für die CPU testend widmen und damit den Wiedereinstieg in die Wasserkühlwelt auf ComputerBase ebnen.

If you have recently bought a new high end video card then there is a good chance you will want to improve upon the cooling proficiency of the reference cooler. Nvidia’s GTX680 ships with a decent standard cooler, but today we are ripping the reference card apart and installing the ultra high end ARCTIC Accelero Hybrid – an integrated air and liquid cooling solution. ARCTIC claim a 200% cooling performance improvement with a 9 times noise reduction. For around £130 it will certainly need to deliver the goods.

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.
