Watercooling
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.

Digging into our bag of tricks, we can bring forth some results of the NZXT Kraken G10 bracket and fan system working with an AIO to cool your video card.

Cooler Master has been trying over the years to squeeze themselves into the all in one liquid cooling market; no spin-offs or re-brands as most AIO manufacturers offer. The in-house design makes these coolers stand out from the competitors offerings, however to be successful the AIO has to be a perfect combination of looks, ease of installation and of course most of all cooling performance at a low noise ratio. The Cooler Master AIO series have been hit and miss; especially the ease of installation was sometimes far fetched. With the Eisberg series Cooler Master has reached new performance heights for the AIO segment. Sadly the Eisberg lineup carried a hefty price tag due to the choice of high grade components. The Nepton series are CM's high end AIO coolers to fill up the gap between the Seidon series and the Eisberg models. Today we review the high end Nepton 280L version and compare it with the previously tested Corsair Hydro H110.

According to the latest sales charts we checked by several manufacturers around the globe it seems that CPU Air Coolers are still holding 1st place and are followed by AIO Liquid CPU Coolers (not very close) and complete custom water cooling kits. Custom water cooling kits may still follow in third place pretty much like always since because both of their price and installation difficulty they are still considered as enthusiast grade products but compared to even just 5 years ago they are much more popular right now and according to predictions unless something changes such solutions may get very close to AIO products. If you're reading these lines chances are that you're well aware that XSPC is amongst the leading manufacturers of custom water cooling kits and today we will be taking a look at their latest mid/high-end radiator the RX360 V3.

Wer im heimischen PC auf eine Luftkühlung setzt, muss oftmals riesige Kühlkörper in Kauf nehmen und trotzdem noch den Kompromiss zwischen Lautstärke und Temperatur der Komponenten akzeptieren. Soll High-End-Hardware zum Einsatz kommen und womöglich noch übertaktet werden, führt der Weg an einer Wasserkühlung kaum vorbei. Mit gut ausgewählten Komponenten lässt sich die verbaute Hardware wesentlich besser kühlen und betreiben; Der verringerte Lautstärke gibt obendrein noch den schönsten "Nebeneffekt" ab. Um ein wenig Licht ins Dunkle zu bringen und auch Neueinsteigern den Weg zur ersten Wasserkühlung zu ermöglichen, werden wir eine Reihe von Artikeln präsentieren die sich intensiv mit dem Thema befassen. Gestartet wird dabei mit den Grundlagen sowie der Vorstellung der benötigten Komponenten eines Kühlkreislaufes.

The Silverstone Tundra TD03 is one of the most unusual 120mm water coolers I’ve seen, it stands out in a market that is crowded by Asetek water coolers that are all pretty much identical. Silverstone have a legendary reputation for their engineering prowess and there’s no way they’re going to import a 3rd party design for their cooler. It was this unique design that meant I had to get one in for review, I wanted to see what all the fuss was about and I really wanted to see if Silverstones design was better than all the other models that are available on the market these days.
