The SilverStone Tundra TD03 Liquid Cooler is an all-in-one cooler that looks great, is maintenance free, well constructed, has an aluminum radiator, comes with a copper waterblock and includes two 120mm fans. This is an outstanding product that performs very well.

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.

One such viable alterative that is readily available and easily modified is a heatercore. While there are many different models that can be modified to work in a watercooling system, one that has gained quite a following is the Chevrolet Chevette heatercore. More specifically, the heatercore for the 1986 Chevette, Fedco part number 2-161 or GDI part number 399069, which is approximately 6-1/8" x 6-3/8" x 2". The factory tubes are 3/4" and 5/8" which require some modification to work with 1/2" ID tubing used in a watercooling system but this modification is not that complicated and well worth it considering that most auto parts stores have this heatercore for around $22. Additionally, the tools needed for the modifications are fairly inexpensive and they are likely ones that most already have on hand.

Der Thermochill PA120.3 gilt noch immer als einer der besten erhältlichen Triple-Radiatoren. Der inzwischen sehr in die Jahre gekommene Wärmetauscher ist nun, nach einem Besitzerwechsel bei Thermochill, in einer neuen Revision verfügbar. Wir vergleichen den neuesten PA120.3 mit dem Ur-PA120.3, um zu überprüfen, ob sich der Qualitätsstandard gehalten hat. Einen Vergleich in Bildern und vielen Daten findet ihr in diesem Artikel.

Wir haben bereits paar Mal über Wasserkühlungselemente berichtet. In diesen drehte sich alles um Kühler, Radiatoren und Aufsätze für Pumpen. Eins der wichtigen Bestandteile einer Wasserkühlung fehlt jedoch und zwar handelt es sich um den Ausgleichsbehälter. Dieser dient der Befüllung und gleichzeitig ist er der Wasserspeicher für den Kreislauf. Aus diesem Grund schauen wir uns heute einen Ausgleichsbehälter der Firma Alphacool an. Hierbei handelt es sich um einen Ausgleichsbehälter für den 5,25“ Schacht aus weißem Delrin als Spezial Edition.

Nach der Vantage A.L.C. können wir euch eine weitere Kühleinheit aus dem Hause CoolIT vorstellen, die ECO A.L.C. Diese ist etwas weniger ausgestattet und somit auch günstiger, als der große Bruder. Wie es mit der Leistung aussieht, könnt ihr im Artikel nachlesen

Mit der Domino A.L.C. bietet CoolIT Systems eine kompakte Komplettkühllösung auf Flüssigkeitsbasis für die CPU an. Bestehend aus einem 120-mm-Radiator, 12-Volt-Pumpe, Prozessorkühler und Lüfter inklusive Steuereinheit will das System mit Wartungsfreiheit, guten Kühlleistungen und geringem Betriebsgeräusch sowie einfacher Handhabung punkten. ComputerBase testet die CoolIT Systems Domino A.L.C..

AIO or All-In-One liquid coolers have become very popular in recent years, offering better capability than top-of-the-line air coolers without all the noise typically associated with fast spinning fans and without the hassle and setup of custom liquid cooling loops. The Tundra TD02 features a dual 120mm brazed fin aluminum radiator that is 45mm thick. Coupled with that are two 120mm PWM-controlled fans and an all-metal housing pump with copper base and nickel-plated aluminum body.

Twelve months ago there were two major players in the factory sealed liquid cooler market, Corsair with their H50 and H70 models and CoolIT with their ECO and Vantage products. All four products were impressive in their own right and these two manufacturers were competing against each other for the same consumers, each looking for reviews and user experience to show their cooler in the best light.

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?
