EX-Frozen CPU Staff open ModMyMods - New modding/water cooling store

ModMyMods opens its doors today and offers a wide range of modding and water-cooling products






A new water cooling store has opened its doors today in the US catering for modding and water cooling enthusiasts.

ModMyMods is run by ex-Frozen CPU employees who escaped the issues of their former company and have set up a new and independent store.

In a post on Linus Tech Tips, forum user and ModMyMods employee ModMyMods-Brennen had this to say:

We were Employees of FrozenCPU until Mr Friga's unfortunate little outburst a few months back. But despite the issues ahead, we grouped together and built ModMyMods.com from scratch. We simply want to continue providing the same excellent customer service and PC modification expertise that you are accustomed to. Our website is still under construction and we will be launching relatively soon.

Here's the official press release:

ARCTIC releases Accelero Hybrid III-140

The highly efficient Accelero Hybrid III-140 is the all-in-one package for real performance junkies. It combines Water Cooling Solution for the GPU with a 140 mm radiator and a special VRM and RAM cooling for outstanding power.
With a cooling capacity of 300 watts this powerhouse lowers the temperature of even the most powerful GPU. A particularly large water contact surface ensures that the heat can be dissipated quickly. Special attention is given to the voltage regulator module: Individually made VRM heatsinks for NVIDIA and AMD graphic boards and an 80 mm fan provide not only a long service life but especially a better VRM cooling than ever before. And the random access memory also receives a special treatment: A smaller, specially adapted back plate cools the RAM separately to guarantee best efficiency. A gluing of heatsinks on the graphic card is not necessary.
Extreme performance that does not need loud tones: Through software, the temperature-fan speed curve can be adjusted, whereby you get the temperature and noise level exactly where you want it to be. An improved fan controller and the use of additional filters guarantee a smooth operation with both NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards. The combination of a low noise impeller and the patented fan holder additionally enables a virtually silent operation ? even under full load.

[Review] Keeping it Cool With The Alphacool NexXxoS Cool Answer 240

Keeping your CPU cool is a good thing for a number of reasons. It reduces the stress put on it by heat thereby allowing it to last a little longer, the lower the temperature the more potential there is for overclocking, and we generally feel better when that maximum number that we reach is as low as can be possible.
Thankfully there are a lot of good options available to keep things nice and chilly. Air coolers have become sophisticated powerhouses that can dissipate tremendous amounts of heat while still providing very low noise levels, and even low profile solutions can be adequate for keeping most CPU’s cool during most lightly strenuous daily tasks.
Then we come to the all-in-one water cooling solution. These are considered the epitome of efficient cooling and easy to setup cooling. Plug and play is the essence of these kits, requiring that you only apply thermal grease and thus attach the CPU cooler portion. And they do provide a great deal of cooling prowess. But what about custom water cooling solutions? Remember those? While generally something more suited to the enthusiast that wants to have maximum efficiency with expandability options, such custom water cooling loops can be accessible by nearly anyone.


















Custom water cooling loops made easy. They really can be better than AIO’s.

The summer is inevitably hot, no matter where you live, the relative increase in temperature can be quite uncomfortable. It’s also uncomfortable for your PC as well. Hot ambient temperatures mean an increase in the lowest possible temperature your CPU can reach. The more efficient your CPU cooler, then the more likely it’ll be to reach even lower towards that magical ambient number. Without an elaborate phase-change or liquid nitrogen configuration you won’t reach lower, but even getting to ambient can be a godsend.
And quite frankly a custom water cooling loop has far more potential for better cooling than a typical AIO solution. That isn’t to say that those AIO’s aren’t great at what they do. On the contrary, they are a great evolution in cooling, being able to sometimes provide a very good price/performance ratio. But, there are limits, in both expansion and even in cooling ability.
Not everyone necessarily is looking for expanding their custom water cooling loop to include all of their components, and that’s alright. Sometimes taking the GPU cooler off can be a bit daunting, and of course can void the warranty. Those are all very valid concerns. It’s not necessarily an act for everyone, but that also doesn’t negate the utility of using a fully custom water cooled loop either. They can be very effective for the CPU alone.
In fact, it’s not uncommon to see radiators for each set of components. Two, or more, radiators can add cooling value not in how much lower the temperatures can be, but in the smaller delta between ambient temperatures and the ability to keep that delta lower when the voltage, and thus heat, increases. There’s simply more surface area and more coolant volume to help keep things at a stable temp.
Alphacool NexXxoS Cool Answer 240 DDC/XT

Alphacool has been doing this for some time, putting together kits that take the guess work out of what’s needed for a proper water cooling kit. It’s actually quite a nice gesture, giving you everything you could possibly need, including high quality fittings and tubing. Granted, this isn’t the enthusiasts way of choosing the best components, though these are the same components you can get separately, just curated for the uninitiated.
My first Alphacool kit like this was back in 2007, and it was my first foray into water cooling altogether. And I must admit, that even for a complete novice back then, it was delightfully easy to assemble. Quite literally all you have to do is follow the directions. I think it’s primarily the challenge with putting it together that scares people. But it’s not hard in the slightest. Perhaps a bit more time consuming, but once together, it can be very rewarding.
In the kit there is a radiator, a 5 1/4″ bay water reservoir, water pump that fits onto the water reservoir, fittings, a length of tube and of course a very well designed CPU water block. It retails for $217.39 at aquatuning.us.


Alphacool NexXoS XP3 Light – Acetal Edition CPU Water Block

This water block is understated in the looks department, offering a simple black top with centralized inputs and a very thick, and shiny, copper block on the underside. Inside sees a crosshatch pattern with each individual pin being 0.5mm square and 2.5mm tall, what Alphacool has determined to be the ideal size for transferring heat. There is also a mounting kit for all current AMD and Intel CPU’s and a small bit of thermal paste included.
NexXxoS XT45 Full Copper 240mm Radiator

This radiator is 46MM thick and features only a modest amount of fins per inch at around 12/in, which is the opposite of what some AIO’s even tend to use to make up for decreased overall efficiency. There are outlets on all sides of one end of the radiator, so you may customize where the loop enters based on the location of the radiator. It also has mounts for up to two 120MM fans per side.




Alphacool Repack – Laing DDC 5.25″ Reservoir

A neat little reservoir that fits easily in an open 5.25″ bay and has mounting holes specifically for their Laing DDC pump. It’s completely made of plexiglass and has a fill hole on the top, which can obviously only be accessed if there’s room above it to do so, or if you use a tube and funnel.
Laing DDC-1T Water Pump

The Laing DDC pump is rated for around 50,000 hours if used at it’s rated 12V power rating. This thing is a very quiet and efficient pump rated at 420L/hr, not an insignificant flow rate. Certainly it’s far faster and quieter than the average AIO alternative. This little pump slots right into the reservoir with ease and has no problems with just a CPU load, and certainly wouldn’t have issues should you decide to expand it’s load.
To test just how well it can dissipate heat, we’ve hooked it up to the rather toasty Haswell E. It draws enough power to be slightly warmer than the Haswell K, and certainly much hotter than Skylake K is.
The test system is as follows:

CPU	Intel i7 5960X @3.0GHz
Coolers	Enermax Liqtech 240, Noctua DH15, Alphacool NexXos 240
Motherboard	Gigabyte GA-X99M Gaming 5 mATX
Power Supply	Corsair AX 1200i 1200W Platinum
Hard Disk	Samsung PM851 512GB
Storage Disk	Samsung 840 Pro 512GB x 2 RAID 0
Memory	Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB 2666MHz
Monitor	BenQ BL2710PT 27″ WQHD
Video Cards	Geforce Titan X SLI
Drivers	NVIDIA 347.88
Operation System	Windows 8.1 Pro

The test I run to test heat is that of Einstein@home. As a distributed computing program, it’s able to saturate all threads at 100% with some very complicated math. It’s a good test of power output and stability as well. So, now on to the results, what you’ve been waiting for.

It may seem like the results aren’t necessarily differentiated by much, and they aren’t. But that isn’t the whole story with a kit like this, nor the likely reason why you’ve purchased one either. It keeps things cool, and gives much more headroom for overclocking. 58C is still rather great for Haswell E, considering it’s such a hot chip at times, even at stock.
Now lets see what kind of noise levels that this kit is capable of while pushing air at the maximum RPM possible, just to see what we see. It’s always nice to be able to have a worse case scenario to be able to predict best case scenario behavior.


The clear surprise, or not, is that the Noctua DH15 is able to provide adequate cooling levels with very low noise levels. But the sheer efficiency and ability of the Alphacool systems is what is most amazing. the capacity sustain higher levels of heat is also an advantage over smaller volume AIO coolers and traditional air coolers. There’s just simply more liquid and and more surface area within the radiator to dissipate that heat, letting you overclock a little more
Conclusion

The Alphacool NexXos 240 kit is an agile and very effective water cooling solution. The problem stems with most people wanting to put it together. It’s not difficult, but another task in and of itself that might not be appealing. Thankfully it really is incredibly simple to put together and the benefits actually outweigh any perceived drawbacks. The expense, while certainly more than the typical CPU cooler, is made more worth it by the fact that it’s actually going to last for a long time and likely be very effective at cooling future generations of CPU’s with only a change in the adapter kit.
This kit is highly recommended for those looking for an ultimate AIO solution to cooling. It’s not literally all integrated, but it’s all curated and all the components work very well together.

A big thank you to Aquatuning.us for providing the test unit for this review.

Corsair Hydro H110i GTX High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler Review

Introduction, Specifications and Pricing

image: http://imagescdn.tweaktown.com/conte...ler-review.jpg

With everything we have seen in Corsair's H80i GT and H100i GTX recently, and its strong run to the top of our charts, it only made sense to go back to them and ask for the big dog of the pack. In the latest generation of Asetek coolers, Corsair is the first to jump on board and is delivering class leading performance at this time in the AIO game. While other coolers may soon release with a lot of the same major components, it is rare that we see them this dressed up and with what are some of the strongest fans available boxed with any cooler being sold today. This, along with their performance, has really left us with a smile on our face, and both of the previous samples have gone into full duty since being reviewed, they are just that good not to use them.


So, what does Corsair have left in the tank after the H100i dethroned the Water 3.0 Ultimate AIO with relative ease? Well, since we saw the fat-bodied single 120mm solution, and we also saw the thinner dual 120mm solution, what is left in the tank at the end of those two passes is a larger radiator solution with a 280mm radiator and a pair of very capable 140mm fans to cool it. The real question at this point comes down to just how much better can the Hydro Series coolers do in our testing, and with what seems to be very little wiggle room for improvement, Corsair has opened our eyes to the potential.

If you follow our reviews frequently, a lot of what you are about to see is a lot like what the H80i GT and H100i GTX showed in their reviews, but we guarantee while some of this may be a recap for most, take the time to view the charts and browse the conclusion as we have a lot of information to give and some really great results to show off in this review. While we already knew that Corsair is the new dominant performer in CPU cooling, we had no idea that they could take it to this level. It is almost a guarantee in fact, that by the time you are done reading here, and you have the room for it and the cash to cover it, you will be running right out and getting one of these bad boys for your own systems. It is just that impressive.

image: http://imagescdn.tweaktown.com/conte...ler-review.png

image: http://imagescdn.tweaktown.com/conte...ler-review.png

Corsair offers all of their specifications in two different pages on site and is why there are two charts shown above. In the first chart, we start off with the parts included in the box from the cooler, to the hardware, even down to the Link cable. We then are shown that the radiator measures 140mm wide, it is 312mm in length, and lastly, it is only 26mm thick. The included fans are a pair of A1425S12S-2 140mm fans that are 25mm in thickness. They will spin at up to 2000 RPM, they will deliver 104.65 CFM at that speed with 3.99 mmH2O of pressure, and are rated at 40 dB.

The second chart then offers things the first one did not. Here we find out things like that this AIO comes with a five-year warranty. We are also told that the cold plate on the head unit is made of copper, they mention the fans again, and we are then told that the radiator is of course made of aluminum as most of these are. We are also told that the tubing is a large-diameter, it has low permeability (no evaporation), but there is no mention of the sleeved treatment done to them. Both charts in the top right corner cover the compatibility, and here we see that and socket with current support is covered. This includes anything on the AMD side from AM2 and onwards, and for Intel it covers LGA115x, 1366, and 2011.

With a larger cooler and the potential for lower thermal results, we do expect to have to pay out a little more money to obtain the H110i GTX, and to be honest, the price hike isn't all that bad. For $20 more than the H100i GTX, with the MSRP for the H110i set at $149.99, we honestly have not one issue with that pricing. As we look around, we are seeing that the MSRP is definitely just a guideline to most e-tailers at this moment. Right now as this is being typed up, both at Newegg and Amazon, you can locate the H110i GTX for $139.99 with free shipping offered at both locations. So, really it comes down to only a ten dollar difference currently, and you can get your hands on what is the best performing AIO on the planet today.

Swiftech Finally Ships Full-Cover R9 Fury X Water Block

It's taken a while, but Swiftech is finally shipping its water block for the R9 Fury X from AMD.

We just saw the paper launch of the AMD Radeon R9 Nano, but that doesn't mean that manufacturers have forgotten about the R9 Fury X. This time around, the folks over at Swiftech unveiled their Komodo R9 FuryX ECO, the company's first and only water block for the AMD R9 Fury X.
The manufacturer claimed that the block is the sexiest product that it's created thus far, and it follows the standard recipe for a full-cover water block. At the center of the block is a micro-fin array, through which all the fluid is pushed to cool the GPU and HBM memory. The block also covers the VRM circuitry, although like all other blocks, it does that without a microchannel structure because the VRM circuits don't need as much cooling.
One thing that we particularly like about this block is that it comes with pre-applied thermal pads, which saves you the time you would otherwise have needed to cut these out and apply them, which can be a rather tedious process.
The cooling plate is made from a piece of CNC-cut copper, which is then chrome-plated. To cover the block, Swiftech CNC-cut a huge acrylic piece, too, which spans the surface of the cooling plate to ensure that the entire graphics card is covered.

To really cover the entire card, Swiftech also built a backplate out of aluminum, and anodized it in black.
Pricing for the water block sits at $115.50, and the backplate will set you back an additional $29.95. Both are available immediately directly from Swiftech.

ASUS Previews The ROG GX700 Series Behemoth Gaming Laptop – Liquid Cooled Skylake-K CPU With GeForce GTX Maxwell Graphics

ASUS has previewed their upcoming ROG GX700 gaming laptop which is a behemoth PC that comes with liquid cooling. The ASUS ROG GX700 laptop was announced at IFA 15 along with the ROG G752 series laptop that are also aimed at the high-performance laptop market with beefy hardware specifications and design schemes that look amazing.

ASUS ROG GX700 – Skylake-K and GeForce Maxwell Powered, Liquid Cooled Laptop

The ASUS ROG GX700 is an insane gaming laptop, the company has currently not spoken in detail regarding the specifications by WindowsCentral was able to grab some details from the event showcase. Featuring a 17.3″ 4K display panel, the ASUS ROG GX700 incorporates the latest Intel Skylake-K series mobility processor. The latest Skylake-H series was just launched a couple of hours ago and we detailed all of the new SKUs falling in the Intel lineup in a detailed post. The Skylake-K mobility processors bring the overclocking features of the desktop CPU family over to the mobility family offering unlocked multiplier, full range BCLK adjustments and various configs to allow enthusiast to grab more performance out of the new performance laptops. The specific Skylake-K SKU isn’t detailed but it can be similar to the Core i7-6700K in specifications with clock speeds around the 4.00 GHz mark.
The laptop also comes with a high-end GeForce Maxwell graphics card. Now we know that NVIDIA’s current top mobility chip is the GeForce GTX 980M and ASUS specifically stated that they are using the latest GeForce GTX graphics chip on the ROG GX700. There’s a possibility that we might see a new high-end flagship NVIDIA chip on the ASUS ROG GX700 or just two of the GeForce GTX 980M in SLI action. There were some rumors about a high end GeForce GTX 990M chip coming to the market soon so that could possibly make its way on the ROG GX700 laptop. Since this is a high-end, enthusiast focused laptop, we are looking at no less than 64 GB of memory (DDR4) along with high-performance SSD based storage and a ton of I/O connectivity.

But the most interesting thing about this laptop is its closed-loop liquid cooling solution. I personally speculated that we might see addition of liquid cooled PCs with Skylake-K series processors in the mobility market a couple of weeks ago and that seems to have become a reality. The cooling comes as a separate docking unit that can be docked to the back of the laptop. The whole radiator, cooling fins and tubing is housed inside this separate unit which can be equipped and remove by pushing up/down a latch that comes with the unit. The whole unit is tight and secure to avoid any coolant spills and does really well in terms of cooling. When overclocking a CPU, such cooling is a must but when the laptop is under normal load, the unit can be removed for portability. The cooling unit does need additional power and is quite big compared to traditional coolers so it does take away the essence of laptop gaming.
ASUS ROG G752 Series Laptops – Skylake-H Core i7-6700HQ Powered



ASUS has also launched their ROG G752 series laptops which include the ROG G752VL, ROG G752VT and the ROG G752VY. The top G752VY comes with the Core i7-6700HQ processor that we know is a quad core with multi-threading support, clocked at 2.6 GHz base and 3.5 GHz boost, featuring 6 MB of L3 cache and 45W TDP. Users will have the option to upgrade to the Core i7-6820HK which is clocked 100 MHz more and has 8 MB of L3 cache. The laptop features GeForce GTX 980M graphics card with up to 8 GB of GDDR5 memory. The G752VT and G752VL come with the Core i7-6700HQ processor and have GeForce GTX 970M and GeForce GTX 965M graphics chips (respectively). All laptops comes with up to 64 GB of DDR4-2133 memory support and 17.3″ 1920x1080P IPS panels with G-Sync support. The G752VY has the option to support a 17.3″ 4K IPS Panel (with G-Sync). Storage is offered in the form of 128/256 GB NVME based SSD and up to 2 TB HDD solutions and pricing starts at $1499 US. These laptops will be available in Q4 2015.

Silverstone TD02-E Review (Tundra Series)

There are a whole bunch of liquid coolers out there… various radiator designs, tubes and pumps. On the whole they are all very similar though and that is something which SilverStone are trying to move away from in their Tundra Series. Today we test one of the higher performance models in our Silverstone TD02-E review.
Silverstone TD02-E Review – Packaging and Bundle


Silverstone package the TD02-E in a box which clearly shows the cooler while also filling us in on key features on the front. The other sides are packed with information too and then inside it is great to see that the various components are well protected, even wrapped in plastic to ensure they arrive in perfect condition. As far as bundled items go, we get a manual, fans and a box containing all the items we will need to complete the install.
Silverstone TD02-E Review – The Cooler


The TD02-E arrives with a set of two fans. These have white blades and are 120x120x25mm models with a rating of 1500-2500rpm. Each is rated for up to 35dBA and these are 12v/0.3A models. As far as airflow goes we get 92.5CFM with air pressure rated at 3.5mm/H2O. Both are powered by 4pin connectors and have braided cables.

We use four screws to attach each fan to our radiator and another set of screws to attach the assembled unit onto our case. The radiator itself is a 278x124x27mm model which is made of aluminium and features some plastic detailing on the sides. Extending from this radiator are two rubber tubes which are 310mm in length.

Those rubber tubes end at our pump which has a nickel-plated aluminium body. The base is copper (screwless) and the unit measures 60x55x33.5mm. The pump specifications are 2500 +/- 200RPM with 12V and 0.28A. Powering it is a 3pin connector which plugs into our motherboard and extending from each corner are our mounting arms. These too are metal and the pre-installed versions support Intel CPUs (inc 115x and 2011) with alternate parts for AM3/FM2. For most models we add a backplate to our motherboard and then bolt the CPU block into it. Just 4 screws really and that’s us done.
Silverstone TD02-E Review – Performance

Test Platform: X99, i7-5960X at stock and at 1.425v/4.4GHz. Dual fans tested. (Load tests using Prime 95 at 100% load)

OC/Load:

Silverstone TD02-E Review – Conclusion

Starting with the build quality and design of the TD02-E we were more than happy with the product that SilverStone have created. The Radiator feels solid, the tubes durable and the pump is definitely a step above the build quality that other manufacturers offer. We dont really see the point in the plastic bumpers on the radiator, they will be hidden away in the majority of cases but overall the aesthetic is good… that metal CPU block being a real highlight.
Installation of the cooler is super easy. As with other liquid coolers we just screw on the fans, screw in the radiator and secure the CPU block on our processor. All of the required items are included and all are decent quality. As Silverstone note, once the install is complete the cooler requires no further maintenance and has a 5-year warranty which gives additional peace of mind.
As far as performance goes, we had no complaints. The fans provided offer very competitive noise levels when compared to models from other manufacturers and at stock CPU speeds the TD02-E scored right up there with the best coolers around. Adding an overclock to the CPU further confirmed that the TD02-E was a great performer, sitting at the top end of the performance scale.
Summary: Great build quality, an easy install and top notch performance.

AquaComputer offers Kryograpics Radeon R9 Nano Water Block

AquaComputer offers a full cover Kryograpics Radeon R9 Nano Water Block. The design is single slot and might be just what the Doctor ordered.
First off, AquaComputer is based in germany and seem to be adressing just that market. So if you like to swap out the original cooling solution for the NANO, Aqua Computer might have a nice alternative for you with their Full Coverage Water Block
The water block is based on exposed copper with an acrylic cover. The coolant channel flows over GPU and also the VRM area. The block itself is single-slot and thus easy to use for Crossfire of course. The product comes with standard G 1/4 fittings / threads.
AquaComputer was able to keep the NANO cooled at 35 °C with a 27 ° C water temperature while running Furmark. The block currently at pre-order, I do not have a pricing just yet. More info here.

Pre-filled and QDC-enabled GPU water blocks will be available on November 5th 2015. This will be a on demand service where customers will be able to select a QDC option when purchasing the GPU water block. EK will fill the water block with coolant and make the unit ready to be used with Quick Disconnects. Graphics card with such water block will be immediately ready to be connected with the Predator 360 QDC. Quick Disconnect package (without pre-filled GPU water block) will also be available for purchase separately!

Technical highlights:
Hovercore is a new, revolutionary design of radiator de-coupling that effectively prevents transfer of pump induced vibrations from the unit to the computer chassis itself, thus resulting in vibration-free and silent operation.

Supremacy MX CPU water block, top performer in Enthusiast segment, is specifically designed for Intel CPUs and offers great hydraulic and thermal performance. Carefully machined copper base is made from purest copper available and is further polished to absolute mirror finish. This alone greatly improves the cooling performance of the Predator.

CoolStream PE 360mm radiator, has a full copper core superior to aluminum alternatives in terms of heat dissipation. In conjunction with EK-Vardar fans the result is increased performance across an entire fan operational range, thus delivering results both at low- and high airflow operation. Dimensions of the main radiator unit on Predator 360, with integrated pump and reservoir are: 415 x 133 x 68 mm. This allows mounting of the unit in most modern mid- and full-tower computer cases.

Vardar fans - three on Predator 360 - are high-static pressure fans developed in-house specifically for liquid cooling systems. With low noise profile and PWM technology built in, the system always controls the RPM and keeps the fans silent while maintaining excellent cooling performance.

DDC pump is a powerful 6W liquid cooling pump providing 2-3x higher flow rate compared to other AIOs on the market. It's also PWM controlled, allowing for automatic pump speed regulation depending on your CPU temperature. Full performance on demand or whisper quiet operation in idle mode!

Integrated Fan splitter hub reduces cable clutter and keeps the unit aesthetically clean. Predator pump and fans plug into the unit itself with only one PWM cable going into CPU Fan socket, while a single SATA molex cable powers the complete unit.

EK Offers EK-DBAY Spin Reservoir

EK Water Blocks, Ljubljana based premium liquid cooling gear manufacturer, is releasing 3rd Revision of its popular 5.25" drive bay reservoir solution - EK-DBAY Spin Reservoir (R3.0).
EK-DBAY Spin Reservoir (R3.0) is an updated reservoir of the Dual Bay Res Spin family. It features white flow indicator which shows the liquid is actually circling in the system. Liquid is flowing through the impeller on to the waterfall on the front acrylic cover into the reservoir.
The reservoir is made of quality POM Acetal material with fresh looking, acrylic top. Front of the reservoir is aesthetically improved with quality brushed black anodized aluminum bezel. The unit looks great in all modern black chassis that support the mounting of such reservoir!
On top of the reservoir is one G3/8" threaded port with enclosed corresponding plug to easily fill the reservoir with cooling liquid. Backside of the unit features four G1/4" threaded ports. One is indicated as an inlet port, while other three can be used as outlet ports. Two G1/4" plugs are enclosed to close the remaining open ports after the tube positioning is determined. No water can evaporate from it which makes the annoying refilling unnecessary.
EK-DBAY Spin Reservoir (R3.0) is readily available for purchase through EK Webshop

Cryorig's A-Series liquid coolers keep VRMs cool, too

Closed-loop liquid coolers are all the rage these days, and even cheap PC cases make room for them. One thing most all-in-one cooling solutions don't do is move any air around the CPU socket, starving VRMs of airflow. Cryorig's A Series of AIO coolers could rectify that potential shortcoming by adding a fan to the CPU water block.

That water-block-mounted spinner is a 70-mm PWM fan that can turn at up to 3,000 RPM. The fan is on a swivel, so it can be adjusted to move air where it's needed. Mercifully, the smaller fan's speed is tied to the main fans on the radiator. Cryorig says this extra fan can improve system stability and lengthen the life of the motherboard versus closed-loop coolers that don't circulate air around the socket.
The A40 and A40 Ultimate both have 240-mm radiators with a pair of 120-mm fans. The A40's radiator is 1.1" (27.5 mm) thick, while the A40 Ultimate's radiator measures 1.5" (38.5 mm). The range-topping A80 has a 280-mm radiator with a pair of 140-mm fans. Its radiator is the same 1.1" (27.5 mm) thickness as the A40's.
Cryorig says the A-Series coolers will be available in the USA starting late this month. The A40 will carry a suggested price of $100, while the A40 Ultimate will sticker at $110 and the A80 will run $120.
