System Cooling

By Parm Mann @ HEXUS

Fractal Design‘s venture into the world of liquid cooling has been common knowledge for a number of months – we brought you a sneak-peek way back in March – and said coolers are now ready to make their retail debut.

Three ‘Kelvin’ models are officially launched today. The Kelvin T12, featuring a 120mm radiator, is priced at £75 and represents Fractal’s entry-level solution. The Kelvin S24 includes a 240mm radiator at a cost of £90, while the range-topping Kelvin S36 offers a triple-fan 360mm radiator for £105.

Fractal has a good selection of price points covered, and it’s the middle-of-the-pack S24 that’s first under the review spotlight.

Noctua is a name synonymous with the idea of a nearly perfect fan. Some would say they are too pricey, but most people who have owned one usually deem the cost worth the quality of the product. In fact, the only quibble I’ve seen consistently stick with Noctua fans is the color scheme. While beige and brown provide a unique aesthetic that clearly defines the brand, it hardly fits in most color schemes that builders decide on for their rigs. Just when all hope was lost that we would ever see anything different, Noctua decided to give us two new colors in their arsenal of fans; a grey scheme for the Redux line and a black/brown scheme for their Industrial line. Before we dive into the fans, let’s learn a little bit about the company behind the magic.

We always like to see products from brands we have never tested before. Seeing new things is always fun but often we find that there is a fresh take on product design, even on fairly simple products. Today that could be the case as we look at a new universal cooler in our CRYORIG H5 Review.

One name that comes to mind when you are talking about superior air cooling performance is Be Quiet!. As you may already know, Be Quiet! has now become one of the industry leaders with their Dark Rock series of high performance air coolers. Well Be Quiet! is at it again, entering the ring with a new middleweight contender called the Dark Rock 3. It is a single stack profile in a push configuration which is geared for those higher end rigs and gaming cases that offer very little space around the CPU area.

We test and review the all new Cooler Master Nepton 240M, a 240mm Liquid cooler that is performing quite OK in a dense LCS kit market. Cooler Master announced the new Nepton model with a 240mm radiator cooled by two active fans. These are designed to be small solutions that are affordable for most of you guys. The product as tested today for example will hover in the 90 EURO marker.

Design-wise, the Cooler Master Hyper D92 cooler is a re-engineered Hyper N520, improving upon its design based on current system building concerns such as better RAM heatspreader clearance compatibility, better looks and improved efficiency. The direct-touch design has worked well for Cooler Master’s mainstream CPU cooler offerings so the Hyper D92 utilizes it as well. The Hyper N520’s signature offset fan design remains to compensate for the airflow deadzone, albeit using superior 92mm Cooler Master rifle-bearing Xtra Flow PWM fans and the mounting design has also been improved for convenience.

In the past few years, the Closed Loop Cooler has advanced liquid cooling much further into the mainstream market. Today we’re looking at the latest, the Thermaltake Water 3.0 Ultimate. It has a 360mm radiator with lots of cooling potential, and it looks very impressive. Let’s take a closer look and see how it fares in testing.

The PC cooling marketplace is now filled with great looking liquid coolers which are designed to offer enthusiast performance along with ease of install. To many consumers though they are an expense, or a perceived risk that is a step too far and so air coolers remain popular. Recently one of the better known names in the cooling business launched a new revision of a popular product and today we cover that in our Cooler Master Hyper 612 Ver2 Review.

With the Maelstrom 120 Deepcool has an all-in-one watercooler in its portfolio, that comes with the a rather slim radiator and apparently a 120 millimeter fan. At a first look the design is looking good while you get a black radiator and a fan with red fan blades. Overall we’re curious to see whether this cooler is able to cause some damage or not.

Swiftech’s new H220-X is a fully customizable and expandable all-in-one liquid CPU cooler with nothing but high-end components to offer enthusiasts the very best in terms of quality. As such, class-leading performance was a given, but with low noise levels and a plethora of fantastic features, it could also stand alone at the very top.
