Review: Liquid Cooling with a TechN waterblock

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 11/13/2020 03:59 PM | source: | 13 comment(s)

While TechN is new to the waterblock market, it has already developed waterblocks not only for Intel and AMD processors, but also for graphics cards (particularly the Nvidia RTX 2080Ti). Usually it is extremely difficult for new market players to compete with companies that have been on the market for 10 years. You may think that there are no chances, but not in this case.

Sometimes i would love to go back into watercooling, but also i do not overclock anymore and i like how simple it is a pc with just fans or an AIO.

I just got into water cooling last year and am loving it have Ryzen CPUs and the standard auto OC is fine with me but the main change is its slightly higher and virtually silent case in point my 3950 has 7 fans 2 Rads and cools CPU and a 2080ti unless I max it all out I never hear the fans and if I do its still very quiet, fan speed is controlled by coolant temperature and with just under a litre it takes a while to heat soak it to force a noticeable fan speed step.
Just need to make it look fancy now lol

Guess the United States is left in the lurch still. Was hoping countries shipped to would have changed.

woaw a waterblock review ! it's not everyday thanks Guru3D and Yuri

only "plunged" into watercooling this year and it's hard to find actual reviews 9/10 articles are advertising with sometimes not even temperatures given ><
I tested two, Corsair XC7 on a 9900k it's ok but not super amazing, mostly bling
heatkiller IV pro on sTRX4, kickass cooling (1st place on older threadrippers comparisons) seeing TechN do better means it's very good

+1 on the noise especially big difference when gaming on the gpu because while videocards are silent or near at idle with 80-99% gpu usage they definitely become noisy, I make static profiles and switch from desktop-gaming-benchmarking when needed nothing more annoying and noticeable than fans ramping up or down
I used the time of unavailability of rtx3000-rx6000 to test gpu watercooling and one thing for sure I'm not going back to air cooled gpus I hope they make more waterblocks for Radeons this gen
