Product Showcase CPU cooling

Here we have the Vardar 120 mm high static pressure fans. You get two of these, 120 mm and PWM based as stated. Overall these are very good fans regulated by your motherboard CPU FAN header or fan controller. These are rated at a 1850 RPM (PWM), however anything above 1250 RPM would become noisy. Regulating them at a max of say 60% is the way to go. We'll show the installation of all components on the next few pages though. 

Basically we'll be mounting the fans towards the radiator and then hook them up towards the splitter cable, so we can make use of just one PWM regulated header from your motherboard.  Included as well are all fittings (EK-ACF ALU Fitting 10/13 mm) which we'll mount on the CPU cooling block, the radiator, GPU block and coolant reservoir. 
 

Here we have the cooling block bottom side, it is machined with a ALU base and yeah, immediately that magic feel is gone isn't it? I prefer the copper shine / or nickel plated mirror finished look myself TBH. As the results will show, the performance however is okay enough as you'll find out soon e.g. later on in this review. 

The pump in the kit is the ACR SPC-60 pump/reservoir. The pump can be PWM regulated and is silent. Once you cram over 50% voltage in it however, it could even function as a pond with a fountain, it is powerful enough alright. It is PWM monitored / based, we'd advise 2000 RPM for a nice balance of silence versus good pump pressure.
