Les radiateurs alternatifs et passifs n'ont pas trop la côte en ce moment, alors même que de nombreuses cartes pourraient très bien se passer d'un ventilateur. Du coup, quand Arctic propose un nouveau modèle, à savoir le S1 Plus, on ne peut s'empêcher de ressortir notre bonne vieille HD 5770, histoire de voir si on peut toujours jouer en silence.

Usually when you purchase a new CPU (retail packaging) you end up getting the stock HSF (Heat Sink and Fan) solution which may be quite enough to keep your CPU at acceptable temperatures with default clocks but that's just about all these are good at. With the introduction of the latest Core I7 LGA2011 processors Intel released a new liquid cooler (sold separately) with hopes that it could be used with more than just default clocks, unfortunately however it proved to be a rather low/mid-end solution targeted only towards casual users and gamers. Today we will be looking at such a liquid cooling solution, just a much better one, the Antec Kuhler H2O 920.

Water Cooling is awesome. There’s no doubt about it. Traditionally, it performs better than air cooling, it’s quieter, and looks amazing. But, it’s also expensive, can be complicated, and to the uninitiated, looks risky. So, what if you want the benefits of water cooling, whilst eliminating…well, every one of those drawbacks? Enter the self-contained water cooling unit. The Thermaltake WATER 2.0 Performer and Pro are made by Asetek. They are both equipped with 120mm radiators, allowing effective mounting almost anywhere in a chassis that has 120mm fan mounting locations. Thermaltake provide you with two 120mm fans so that you’re able to do a push/pull set up, which is most welcome and much appreciated.

Oggi abbiamo l’incredibile onore di presentarvi, in anteprima mondiale assoluta, la review del Corsair Hydro Series H100i, ultimo nato della casa, che vede una reinterpretazione in “digitale” del già eccellente Hydro Series H100.

We've already taken a look at Corsair's superb H100i Hydro series CPU cooler. You can read that review here. However, we are now going right to the other end of the Corsair Hydro series by taking a look at the new H55.
The Corsair Hydro series has been more or less entirely revamped in the past few months with new variants of all coolers that include either better tubing, better pumps, better fans or all of those improvements. The H55 is right at the lower end of the new Hydro series just above the H50 and H40 which are both very similar products. Put in simpler terms the H55 is an improved version of the Corsair H50 so will bring the benefits of all-in-one liquid coolers but without the size or price premium of the H80i and H100i. It also represents a maturation of the all-in-one liquid cooler concept that should give better performance with a smaller size compared to previous generation liquid coolers.

Asetek is among the world's largest and leading manufacturers of water cooling and
coolers in general. They have their base in Denmark, where it all started with the
production of their Vapochill compressor cooling.
The product we are looking at here, is their own 140 mm Liquid CPU Cooling System, based
on a single 140 mm radiator in a compact and closed system with a CPU block with built
in 12 volt pump. This is again exclusive, as Asetek isn't selling the kit themselves.

Enermax certainly isn't a name we associate with watercooling and even though any company can take an Asetek/CoolIT base unit and slap their own fans and branding on it, Enermax haven't done that. Enermax haven't officially announced who is the OEM producer of their ELC watercooling units, it is clearly not them. My educated guess, based on what I have read and seen, is that Asia Vital Components are the makers of it. It is seemingly not a CoolIT or Asetek rebrand so we should expect the performance to differ from those types of units. However, whether this is a positive or negative difference is the really important question.

Après avoir testé le Seidon 120M, PC-Overware s'est attaqué à son grand frère, c'est à dire le Cooler Master Seidon 240M ! Avec un radiateur équipé de deux ventilateurs 120 mm, un waterblock avec une base en cuivre utilisant des micro channels afin d'avoir une meilleure dissipation thermique. Avec un tarif très intéressant (96,10€ chez LDLC), ce watercooling AIO saura-t-il tenir un gros processeur au frais ?

Everyone know Cooler Master and their Gamer Cases. But in this review we will look at something completely different. It is the Cooler Master Seidon 240M Liquid CPU Cooler - a closed system with dual fan radiator and CPU block with built in 12 volt pump.

During the last years, many cooling vendors included all in one liquid cooling solutions into their lineups. While being very popular, thanks to the good cooling performance, plus requiring zero maintenance and their ease of installation, the 120mm models had a major drawback. The noise generated was either at a disturbing level when the end user required maximum cooling or the cooling performance would get a significant performance hit when the fan speeds were lowered; the larger 240mm models coped far better with modern processors. Secondly due to the larger dissipation area allowed them to operate at a far more acceptable noise level. With the new breed 140 or 280mm AIOs the gap is closed again with the full blown do-it-yourself watercooled kits. Today we review a true watercooling kit, in it's purest form: the Slovenian EK waterblocks LT 360.
