Thermaltake jumps into the AIO water cooling game with a third generation Asetek unit. Let's see just what the Water2.0 Performer has in store for us.
Si l'actualité est plutôt calme dans le monde du refroidissement à air, ça n'est pas vraiment le cas des kits de watercooling autonomes. Les acteurs principaux y vont de leurs petites évolutions (V4 chez Antec et HXXi chez Corsair), ou annoncent quelques nouveautés à venir. Il en est un qui a décidé de se lancer dans l'aventure, c'est Cooler Master. Nous connaissons bien le gazier pour ses boitiers, alimentations et autres ventirads mais lors de l'IT Partners puis du Cebit 2012 la marque avait présenté un modèle intéressant, puisque modifiable, nommé Eisberg et décliné en plusieurs tailles. Cet engin nous l'attendions de pied ferme en version finale (distribué en présérie pas vraiment convaincante), mais c'est un tout autre modèle que nous avons vu débarquer : le Seidon 120M. Plus classique lui, il est entièrement conçu par Cooler Master là où d'au tres se payent le savoir-faire des deux géants du segment ! Cooler Master compte bien s'imposer sur ce terrain avec ses produits maison, mais que vaut donc le petit Seidon 120M? La réponse vous est donnée juste après une brève description.
In der heutigen Zeit sind die Hardware-Komponenten mit so vielen Reserven ausgestattet, dass es fast unmöglich ist, sein System nicht zu übertakten. Aktuelle Prozessoren wie der Core i7 2600K oder der 2500K laden regelrecht dazu ein. Um diesen Chip auch richtig kühlen zu können, bedarf es schon eines guten Kühlers, der gleich mal um die 50,- Euro kostet. Eine Lösung wäre auch eine fertige Wasserkühlung, wie zum Beispiel Corsair sie anbietet. Seit wenigen Jahren hat man hier Erfahrung und verbessert sich von Version zu Version. Wir haben uns ihr neuestes Werk, die Corsair Hydro Series H100 genauer angesehen.
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.
On paper, the idea of integrating liquid cooling on graphics cards makes a lot of sense. The clock frequency is mainly limited by the temperature, so better cooling implies higher speeds. It can also lower the overall temperature of your chassis since the fans of a liquid-cooled video card blow the air out of the chassis.
All-In-Lösungen für Prozessoren oder Grafikkarten sind inzwischen präsenter denn je. Eine auf dem Papier sehr potente Lösung hat dabei Corsair mit der H110i GT im Angebot. Als gesunde Weiterentwicklung vor einigen Wochen vorgestellt, will der Verbund aus 280mm Radiator sowie zwei 140mm Lüftern, sich die Leistungskrone in diesem Segment erhaschen. Wie sich die Fertiglösung in der Praxis geschlagen hat und welche Spielerein mit Corsair Link möglich sind, klärt der nachfolgende Testbericht.
The Hydro H100 heatsink ships fully assembled, filled with a propylene glycol based coolant and plumbed. The waterblock is connected by 24cm of flexible FEP tubing to the heat exchanger which measures about 274x120x25mm in size. Two 120mm fans are included, these operate at 2600-1300RPM and create a fair bit of noise at full tilt. Corsair's Hydro H100 is a no fuss, self contained CPU liquid cooling solution for use on Intel socket LGA2011/1366/1155/1156/775 and AMD socket AM3/AM2/FM1 processors.
The largest AIO from Corsair has arrived. It's time to take the Hydro Series H110 through its paces and see what it can do.
With nearly 15 years in the business, Zalman have built themselves quite the reputation. They have a loyal following thanks to their high build quality and innovative designs. I must admit, Zalman may not be the first brand that spring to mind when your thinking about components, but we’ve been eager to see what their new all-in-one water cooler can do non the less.
All-in-one (AIO) watercoolers are more popular than ever, in fact it may be safer to say that water cooling is more popular than ever, AIO coolers just make it easy and more accessible to those who don’t want to build custom loops. AIO are often much cheaper than a custom radiator / pump configuration and offer near plug-and-play compatibility with super low maintenance. For the most part, water cooling can offer improved performance over air cooling and reap huge benefits for overclocked systems, so it is easy to see why people are so attracted to it.
Below we have a quote from Zalman’s website that details the special coolant they’ve used to fill the radiator, something which combined with the overall design, won Zalman an Innovation Award at CES 2013;
“Zalman with its unique technology came up with the world first nanofluids refrigerant applied cooler to maximize the cooling performance.”
So with Zalmans reliable history of making CPU coolers and high consumer demand for accessible and powerful water coolers, the Zalman Reserator 3 Max has a lot to live up to, so let’s get right to it and see what Zalmans new cooler has to offer.
As you can see it’s fairly well equipped and while the radiator does mount on a 120mm fan mount, it isn’t a typical 120mm radiator due to its unique design and integrated fan, but well take a close look at that in a moment.
Overclockers, enthusiasts and gamers are perhaps the 3 main groups of people who put performance above everything else including money and noise levels so it's really no surprise that their choices include high airflow towers and hardware components with excellent performance yet very high power consumption and noise levels. Not everyone however is a fan of noise and that's why many people either turn towards passive CPU Cooling solutions (for example the HR22) or towards AIO Liquid CPU Coolers that can do a very good job at keeping the CPU Cool without the need of high airflow levels inside the tower. Roughly two years ago Thermaltake released the Water 2.0 line of AIO Liquid CPU Coolers which did a great job competing with the similar solutions released by Antec and Corsair so it was only a matter of time before Thermaltake took that line back to the drawing board and improve it as much as possible. Today we will be taking a look at the Water 3.0 Pro AIO Liquid Cooling Solution which aims to dominate the single 120mm AIO market.
