Einer der vielen Einflussfaktoren in einer Wasserkühlung ist der Durchfluss. Das Messen und Überwachen des Durchflusses ist zwar nicht unbedingt nötig, kann aber ein nettes und auch nützliches Extra im WaKü-System sein. Aqua Computer haben vor kurzem eine neue Lösung dazu, den "Highflow" Durchflusssensor vorgestellt. Wir haben diesen Sensor einem kleinen Test unterzogen und ihn mit dem Digmesa FHKUC 70 sowie dem GMR Durchflusssensor verglichen.
Am heißesten Tag des Jahres wollen euch die Kollegen von Hardwareoverclock.com einen neuen Wasserkühler vorstellen, den Aqua Computer AquagrATIx HD 4890. Getestet wurde der Kühler auf der derzeit schnellsten Radeon 4890 die es gibt, der XFX Radeon HD4890 1000M Black Edition. Wie sich der Kühler geschlagen hat, könnt ihr im Artikel lesen.
Mit dem revolution 420/360 bringt Aqua Computer erstmals seit geraumer Zeit wieder einen neuen Radiator auf den Markt. Während sich die meisten Wärmetauscher nur in Details und im Design unterscheiden, geht der revolution andere Wege und bietet mit der Unterstützung für 120-mm- und 140-mm-Lüfter ein sehr außergewöhnliches Feature. Kann auch die Kühlleistung des Radiators mithalten oder ist der revolution lediglich ein Gimmick? Diese Frage klären wir im Test.
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.
Since Corsair popularized their version of Asetec's "LCLC" (low cost liquid cooling) system back in 2009, it seems that every time you look, another variation on the theme appears. Other manufacturers have leapt into the fray, and Antec's initial entry into the market, the Kühler 620, impressed us with its amazing performance. Now Antec's introduced a new product, the Kühler 920. At first glance it seems very similar to Corsair's Hydro H70 product, but Antec distinguishes their offering with exceptional performance and features.
Antec's Kuhler H2O 920 is a very worthy successor to their very capable 620 kit. With its larger radiator and dual high-speed fans, the 920 can exhibit some excellent cooling performance, but the user will pay a significant noise penalty for that performance. Fortunately, this kit includes fan control functionality, thanks to the excellent ChillControl V software that allows the fan speed and cooling performance to be configured easily from the desktop.
The Antec KÜHLER H2O 650 Liquid CPU Cooler is an affordable advanced liquid cooler (ALC) that performs well, has a great pump, smooth copper waterblock, flexible tubes and a 120mm aluminum radiator.
Just recently we show everyone what a high quality, high performance custom watercooling kit is capable off even when used with one of the hottest CPUs currently available. However although the pros of a custom watercooling kit are undeniable at the end of the day only enthusiasts, hardcore gamers and overclockers will opt for such a solution not only because of the somewhat high cost but also due to the time required to install it and the various things you need to watch out for such as leaks (mostly at first use) and the need to add more coolant when needed. This is also the reason as to why a while ago many manufacturers decided to launch their very own AIO (All In One) liquid CPU Coolers that have all four parts (radiator, tubes, pump, waterblock) attached from the factory to simplify things for the masses. Antec became well known for their AIO Liquid CPU Coolers with the KUHLER H2O 620, 920 and just recently the 1220 model which unfortunately was not very widely distributed. Well Antec is back and so today we will be taking a look at the smallest member of their latest KUHLER line the KUHLER H2O 650 Liquid CPU Cooler.
Antec have had good success with their AIO water cooling solutions in the last few years, the Antec 620 and 920 have long been two of my favourite solutions when doing system builds. They may not always have achieved the best temperatures in performance benchmarks, but on a personal level I’ve found the build quality to be rock solid and sometimes it is the long term performance, not the benchmarks, that can make or literally break a build.
The new cooler from Antec is looking to do things a little different with a strange new pump and radiator combination unlike anything we’ve seen before. It’s a tribute to Antecs ideals of function over form and if the it will be interesting to see not only how it performs, but also how it looks.
As always we will be looking for solid performance in our benchmarks, but we would also like to see the solid build quality Antec are known for. With a price tag of around £45 it is competitive with most high end air coolers and is about on par for most AIO 120mm radiator coolers. It has a good range of support for popular socket types and its 120mm radiator should ensure high compatibility for most chassis design. Now let’s get right to it and see what else it has to offer, then put it through its paces on our test bench.
