While we’re certainly no stranger here at Thinkcomputers.org to XSPC’s watercooling products, what were about to take a look at is something we’ve never seen before. Also a first for XSPC is their big entry into the wildly popular tube reservoir market with the Photon 270. Unlike traditional tube reservoirs the Photon 270 has one big twist, a light tube down the center of the reservoir. Follow along as we check it out and see if this should be the next big upgrade for your loop!
Besides standard passive- and air cooling there is also the enthusiast water cooling section in the computer industry. As a matter of fact, water is used by people who want a silent PC, a more chilled PC and even a more stylish PC.
Today we are going to take a look at an entry-mid level water-cooling bundle and how it compares to a factory sealed equivalent while also finding out how it could be expanded over time. Enter the XSPC RayStorm 750 AX240 Water-cooling Kit.
The XSPC EX240 radiator is a dual 120mm (or 240mm, if you prefer) radiator which promises increased performance without the necessity of added thickness. Coming in at 35.5mm thick, including the housing, the XSPC EX240 offers great mounting options in tighter spaces. Finished in all black with embossed XSPC logos, the EX240 sports a copper and brass core for ultimate performance. A newly designed denser fin structure uses a unique design optimized for better performance at lower fan speeds, resulting in decreased overall operational noise. Overall heat dissipation is increased with improved soldering and welded seams. Two standard G1/4” ports are on one end for loop connectivity, while mounting options for four 120mm fans in push/pull are present with screws included.
When you're testing PC hardware and electronics like we do there's really nothing better than to get in your test room (or lab as some like to call it) and see that the current ambient temperature is at around 23-25 degrees Celsius if not less. This is also part of the reason as to why i really enjoy and prefer the winter season over the summer one although i know most people feel the exact opposite. Still although winter is almost here that may not be enough to help keep your system cool and so since quite a few of you have requested it we will do our best to bring reviews of some of the most popular custom watercooling kits (aka loops) in the market aimed towards professionals, overclockers, serious gamers and enthusiasts. One such watercooling kit is the latest Raystorm 750 EX280 by XSPC and after almost 3 weeks of serious testing it's finally showing its true colors.
XSPC takes the guesswork and complications out of diving into liquid cooling with the Raystorm 750 RS 240 Kit, and solves much of the monetary angst as well. The XSPC Raystorm 750 RS240 Kit offers a complete dual 120mm radiator, open loop water cooling kit featuring matched top quality components and fittings all in one box. The kit features the high flow Raystorm CPU Block complete with Intel and AMD mounting kits. Heat exchange is handles by the dual 120mm RS240 copper/brass radiator using two 1650rpm high static fans. The dual 5.25” bay BayRes 750 features a windowed reservoir and enclosed pump capable of 750 lph and 1.8m head pressure. Rounding out the kit are black chrome plated brass ½” barb fittings along with 2m of 7/16” ID clear tubing and all necessary clamps. To add a bit of eye candy, blue accent LEDs are included for the CPU block and reservoir window. An easy to follow manual makes installation easy for even a water cooling novice. With the unexpectedly low retail price of $149.95, the Raystorm 750 RS240 Kit represents an incredible value with included components costing over 50% more if purchased separately. Just add coolant, and the Raystorm 750 RS240 Kit will provide the rest.
In the computer world, every once in awhile a company that is thought of as bargain basement starts to come out with great products. In this case we’re talking about XSPC. Usually considered at best to be entry level, not many would give XSPC a second look for pure performance. That is until they released their first Raystorm blocks. Now not only are they affordable, but they actually stack up against the big name water cooling manufacturers. And that leads us to today’s review, the XSPC RayStorm 750 RS240 Watercooling kit. This kit has everything you need to build your own custom watercooling loop. Let’s take a look…
