Today, we are examining an air cooler from the Deepcool: an ASSASSIN IV. As the name would suggest, it’s a successor to the Assassin III, which we covered almost four years ago (time goes by quickly). Again, the main competitor is the “classic” Noctua NH-D15. Last time, it was more or less a draw. How will the fourth edition fare with an Austrian competitor?
Today, we are reviewing new AIO coolers from Enermax, Aquafusion ADV 360, and ADV 240. The predecessor (Aquafusion 360) was examined two years ago and got the “Great Value” award. How will the new one perform?
This article examines the ENDORFY Navis F360, a robust water-cooling solution. The Navis series of AIO coolers are available at a very reasonable price point for people that like nice cooling without the RGB bling. This particular 360mm version cost just 110 EUR.
Corsair has announced an updated line of liquid coolers, and we have the Corsair H170i Elite Capellix XT edition on our test bench to see how the most beefy triple-fan 420mm model performs. The kit comes equipped with an iCUE node commander, where you can connect RGB and all fans, plus a few extras.
We review the Deepcool AK500. The design, functionality, and performance of this CPU cooler are all superb. It is easy to classify as a top-tier mainstream air cooler due to its powerful cooling performance and low noise output.
We review the LT720 LCS Cooler. A new and improved all-in-one (AIO) liquid cooler based of the LS series, characterised by an aesthetically pleasing water block with an "infinity mirror" and RGB lighting.
Arctic (a german manufacturer) these days is mainly recognizable from their Liquid Freezer II, which we reviewed as a 280 non-RGB version, 240 ARGB, and 360 ARGB. Still, today, we are examining two air coolers from the Arctic: an A35/I35 A-RGB. Why two in one review? That’s mainly because each is dedicated to the CPU from a different producer. A35 is aimed at the AM5/AM4 platform, and the i35 is for Intel’s 1700, 1200, 1155, 1151, and 1150 sockets.
Corsair has announced an updated line of liquid coolers, and this time the Corsair H100i Elite 2022 edition is on our test bench to see how the most miniature dual-fan 240mm model performs. Corsair has outfitted the kit with their most acceptable AF 120 Elite series PWM fans, as well as a fan/RGB HUB and updated RGB. An external node commander is no longer needed.
We review Scythes new Mugen 5 Rev. C cooler. Rev.C. of the Mugen 5 Rev.C features a new Kaze Flex II 120 mm PWM fan but is based on the traditional Mugen 5 heatsink design with its most recognizable metal caps top cover. The cooler is now also compatible with Intel's LGA1700 socket, ideal for 12th Generation Core processors.
Be quiet! has redesigned its liquid cooling line, meet the Pure Loop 2 FX. Not only does the LCS CPU cooler offer fresh looks with new aRGB LEDs, but it is also more silent with a PWM-based pump. And that pump sits unusually between tubing, conceivably in order to deflect an Asetek patent.
Scythes new Fuma 2 Rev.B cooler now features two 120 mm PWM fans that can produce up to 67 CFM for increased cooling capacity. The cooler is now also compatible with Intel's LGA1700 socket, ideal for 12th Generation Core processors.
DeepCool has returned with a new liquid cooler that we found to be nothing short of outstanding in terms of cooling performance. We review the 360mm version tagged LS720.
Today, we are reviewing an AIO cooler from Alphacool; it’s an Eisbaer Aurora 360 HPE. We already had a chance to check its predecessor, the Eisbaer Aurora 360, back in 2020 (and it earned the “Recommended” award) and the Extreme Black edition of Eisbaer at the end of 2019 (and it was awarded the “Top Pick” badge). How will the new one perform?
Noctua is back in the house with a new Noctua NH-D12L CPU Cooler that we review this round. The L in the name is short for low height. As always the product is silent and offers proper cooling. Let's have a peek, shall we?
We review the Deepcool AS500 PLUS. This dual fan-based CPU cooler absolutely impresses in looks, features as well as performance. It's easily tagged as a high-end performing air-cooler with low noise levels and include aRGB controller. All for just over 60 USD/EUR.
Today, we are reviewing an air cooler from Deepcool; it’s an AK400. The AK400 is from the same family as the AK620 (a dual-tower cooler). The previous product of this type (air cooler) covered was the AS500, tested back at the end of 2020. It was so good (it earned the “Approved” award) that it stayed as a part of the chassis test suite. This time around, it’s also a single tower design cooler, with a four heat pipe tower layout, a unique matrix fin design, and a high-performance FDB fan that should provide excellent heat dissipation and low noise levels.
Today, we are reviewing an AIO cooler from Asus; it’s a Ryujin II 360. According to Japanese mythology, Ryujin is the deity of the seas and oceans, quite a fitting name for a water cooler. The presented product is a second revision of a cooler that we’ve already had a chance to check (along with a Ryujo 240) – previously; it was named (just) Asus Ryujin 360 (but we also had an opportunity to test the 240 mm variant).
Sapphire brings a new product range to the table, LCS aka liquid CPU cooler. They teamed up with Asetek to design the NITRO+ S360-A and S240-A AIO. The product comes with an inventive all-in-one cable for the fans (RGB+PWM in one cable). Which makes this an interesting product series.
Corsair has a refresh of liquid coolers, this round the Corsair H150i Elite LCD (IPS) edition is put on our test bench where we can check out the behavior of the triple-fan 360mm model. Corsair has paired the kit with new fans and a very outspoken LCD model, which we like very much.
It's been a while since we've put a Fractal Design cooling unit through its paces. The most recent items, on the other hand, feature enhanced cooling, a pump that is integrated into the radiator, and an improved RGB appearance.
