Evercool WC-202 Water Cooling - Page 1

Watercooling is getting really popular these days and it should be; it's silent and highly effective. So today's review is about... yes watercooling. But not watercooling in it's most conventional way though. No, see the trend is (yes ladies) the smaller the better (Editor: You just keep telling yourself that, Hilbert).

A lot of people hate to do heavy case modding to place a huge radiator into their PC case and so on. With that in mind the Taiwan based guys from Evercool released version 202 of a very innovative watercooling kit. The kit is a self-contained water-cooling setup that should offer efficient cooling with very low noise.

The fun thing about it is that within the hour you have everything up and running without drilling, modding, cutting and stabbing yourself. No my fellow guru's this is a kit that you can place and regulate mainly in your drive bay. Sound interesting and confusing ? Well, it's not at all confusing though. This kit basically is made out of a drive bay sized controller with built in pump and radiator. Along with that comes an 80mm sized radiator fan, tubing and of course two cooling blocks to cool down your graphics card's core and CPU core.

Yes, you can now watercool both your CPU and your graphics card, which by itself is fantastic news. Watercooling, my friends, is not just for overclocking geeks anymore. The past year or two PC's and their components have faced two growing problems. The first is heat and the need for better cooling solutions. This has meant cooling solutions have gotten louder. This last part is what watercooling can solve.

But let us not rule out the tweakers. One of the most common and fundamental methods of increasing system performance lies in the CPU performance. Since the speed at which processes can be carried out depends on the clock cycle of the CPU. By overclocking (increasing the frequency) considerable speed can be gained. Recently overclocking has become more popular mainly because of the value line-up of AMD and Intel products that can be overclocked quite easily and have quite a bit of potential. However, since the users are stepping over the manufacturer's recommended settings, excessive heat is one the major obstacles to overcome. If this little fact is not respected, the extra generated heat can cause major system instabilities, shorter processor life and, in some extreme cases, completely burn out the processor.

So always bare in mind before deciding to overclock, experienced and hardcore overclockers think first about cooling solutions. Proper cooling is indispensable even if the processor is not overclocked because this ensures a longer life for such a precious investment.

That being said, let's go to page two of this review.
