Liquid to air heat exchange is what will make or break a loop. Have a look at the MCR320-QP that Swiftech has provided.

Auch wenn der Sommer schon vorbei ist, heißt das nicht, dass die Wasserkühler-Saison vorbei ist. Die wärmste Zeit des Jahres ist zwar vorbei, doch den Luxus einer Wasserkühlung kann man das ganze Jahr über genießen. Ein wichtiger bei einer guten Wasserkühlung ist der Radiator. Wir haben uns 8 verschiedene Tripple Modelle angesehen und deren Vor- und Nachteile beschrieben.

Cooler Master finally enters the AIO market and has given us the Seidon 240M for testing.

If you happen to be an enthusiast, hardcore gamer or even a professional chances are that one of the very first things you decide on when building a brand new system configuration is the type of CPU cooler to use. Unlike in the past today there are numerous high-end solutions available in the market for all types of users both in the form of massive dual heatsink CPU air coolers and 240/360mm AIO (All In One) liquid cooling kits. However for people who are really after the best cooling efficiency money can buy the only valid options are to opt either for a 360/420/480/520/580mm custom watercooling kit or one of the quite rare, bulky and more expensive Waterchiller/Freon systems. We may get a chance to test one or more of these Waterchiller/Freon systems really soon but until then we decided to take things a step further and instead of testing yet another ready watercooling kit we went ahead and made a custom one with parts by our friends over at Alphacool.

It seems that more of you join the liquid CPU Cooler ranks every day that goes by and since quite a few of you have asked for such reviews i've decided to focus on that segment of the market and try to get pretty much every LGA2011 compatible liquid CPU Cooler available currently. So just over a month ago we started by reviewing the Thermaltake BigWater 760 Plus liquid CPU Cooler which although quite impressive didn't manage to deliver the performance we were expecting from it. Three days ago we continued by testing one of the best cost-effective liquid CPU Coolers, the Antec KUHLER H2O 920 which especially when used with both its fans facing inwards delivers an great punch together with a near excellent price/performance ratio. Today however we are going to give Thermaltake another chance by being the first to test their latest Thermaltake Water 2.0 Extreme liquid CPU Cooler which just by taking a quick look at its specifications seems to be the most powerful cost-effective liquid CPU Cooler currently in the market.

Well here’s something a little different. SilverStone Technology has released their first line of all-in-one liquid coolers, part of the Tundra series. Sporting a patented fin design with claims of 40% higher cooling efficiency, new 120mm fans in a push/pull arrangement on a 45mm thick radiator and a custom water block, the SilverStone SST-TD03 All-In-One Liquid CPU Cooler that Benchmark Reviews has received for testing is a refreshingly unique addition to the growing and popular all-in-one water-cooling segment.

Swiftech simplifies the life of water loop builders with the Apogee Drive II CPU water block and pump combo.

Oftmals sind die originalen Luftkühler auf den Standardgrafikkarten zu laut oder kühlen die Karte nicht besonders gut. Als Alternative werden oftmals andere Luftkühler verwendet, doch auch eine Wasserkühlung kann eine brauchbare Alternative sein. In diesem Artikel wollen wir zeigen, wie unterschiedlich Wasserkühler sein können und welche Leistung sie darbieten. Als Basis für unseren Test dient eine schon mit einem verbesserten Kühler ausgestattete Sapphire HD 5770 Vapor-X. Die Testkandidaten sind jeweils ein Kühler von EK Waterblocks sowie von Liquid Extasy, welche uns freundlicherweise von Aquatuning bereit gestellt wurden.

Within the PC market fan controllers are a very niche product, and certainly the majority of users will never need them. Yet there is still a very strong demand for high quality fan controllers among the PC enthusiast community, particular those who have a lot of fans, who often also engage in water cooling. As a result of fan controllers being a niche market there aren't many companies that sell fan controllers as their specialty. Indeed case manufacturers like BitFenix and Fractal design produce some fan controllers because they are accessories to their main products, PC cases. And recently we have started seeing some case manufacturers integrated quite basic and primitive fan controllers into the design of the case with "low/medium/high" switches or dials for up to 5 or 6 case fans. Yet if you are "serious" about your system, fans and cooling, those are very often not good enough.
This is where companies like Lamptron come in. Lamptron specialise in fan controllers and are known throughout the entire industry for producing some of the best fan controllers in the business. You might think that there isn't much to a fan controller, but Lamptron have shown otherwise demonstrating the versatility of fan controllers and cram a lot of features into what is a theoretically simple device. Today we have a fan controller from Lamptron that takes fan controllers to a whole new level. The Lamptron CW611 (very catchy name I hear you say) is a fan controller that is capable of controlling fans and pumps, as well as monitor fan speeds, pump speeds and flow rates from flow meters. This makes the CW611 an ideal solution for someone looking to take control of every part of their water cooled system and do it all in one place.
The Lamptron CW611 was expected to reach the market in late March but due to Lamptron swapping the LCD display out for a better LCD panel the CW611 was delayed until early May. Now early May has passed, the CW611 is now in stores and you can buy it for around $89.99/€69.99 - a heck of a lot for a fan controller - and we want to find out is whether the CW611 justifies that price by putting it to the test. Anyway, without any further ado let's proceed through this review!
