Thermaltake WATER2.0 Performer All-In-One LCS Review

So it seems I’m doing a few cooling related reviews lately so I figured I’d toss another in the mix. Today for review I’ve got the latest product from Thermaltake called the WATER2.0 Performer All-In-One LCS. The LCS there means Liquid Cooling System, and that’s what it is, an all-in-one closed loop cooling system to keep your CPU running cool and quiet. The Performer LCS offers cooling by liquid but without the hassles of setting one up yourself. The Performer is well made and it offers decent cooling performance for the price.

CoolIt Vantage A.L.C. CPU Cooler

Today for review I’ve got the CoolIt Vantage A.L.C. CPU
Cooler. The Vantage is an all-in-one liquid cooler, it’s a closed loop system
so the end-user doesn’t have to doing any kind of maintenance on it. I’ve put
it up against the Noctua NH-U12P air cooler and while the Vantage doesn’t
outperform it, it does well. So read on.

CoolIT ECO A.L.C. CPU Cooler Review

 

I’ve had an interesting morning, I went
to the gas station and got to see my first ‘real’ counterfeit bill.
It was a $10 bill and he was showing the other employee how it shows
black instead of yellow with their special marker. I’m in there all
of the time and they know me and he showed it to me, the thing looked
very real to me, but looking closer you could see the watermark
portrait was missing from the back. He was putting it in an envelope
I guess to turn it in or something, I wonder what they have to do
with them, do they give them to the police or is that like some
federal thing?! Oh well, that’s how I started my morning…

Today for review I’ve got another CPU
cooler, but this one is a bit special in that it’s a liquid cooling
system that’s truly an all-in-one solution. It’s called the ECO
A.L.C. and it’s from CoolIt. The ECO ALC is very small, and it’s
compatible with most every CPU out there. The pump is actually
integrated into the water block that goes onto your CPU and the fan
and radiator are attached to each other so all you’ve got to do is
take a few minutes and install it like you would most other coolers
out there. There’s no fuss, no mess, no running tubing, it’s ready to
go out of the box, there’s even thermal compound pre-applied so you
don’t even have to do that. I’ve put it up against a couple other air
coolers for comparison so read on to see how it performs..

CoolIt Domino ALC Liquid Cooling CPU Cooler

 

Liquid cooling offers great performance
for cooling your CPU but it can really be a pain to get a system put
together and of course you’ve got to worry about leaks, changing the
fluid, flushing the system etc and for the average person it’s just
not worth all of those hassles. Liquid cooling can also get very
expensive, with the waterblocks, tubing, radiators, clamps, fans and
pumps, you can easily spend a couple hundred dollars on quality
parts, and for the non-enthusiast out there they don’t want to spend
that much money on something they’ve got to put together. The liquid
cooling kits on the market today are popular because they offer a
relatively easy and inexpensive way to have some of the advantages of
liquid cooling while not being a major hassle to install, for the
most part they’re fairly easy to get up and running in your system.

Today CoolIt has introduced their new
CPU cooler called the Domino ALC, or Advanced Liquid Cooling. It’s an
inexpensive liquid cooling kit that is meant to make liquid cooling
hassle free, easy to install and readily available for the general
populous to just jump right in. The Domino is a closed system liquid
cooler, meaning you’ll never have to worry about changing fluids,
system killing leaks, or any of the problems that might arise from
other kits, or DIY solutions on the market today. The Domino ALC is
easy to install, and it offers decent cooling performance, it’s got
an LCD display on it to let you know what’s going on with the system
and an easy to access control button to quickly change fan speeds if
you need that extra cooling boost.

So read on to learn more about the
Domino ALC, I’ve got a quick unboxing video for you, along with lots
of pictures and of course testing on both C2D and C2Q processors.

Liquid cooling is very popular now, at one time it was more of an enthusiast only cooling option, but today many companies make liquid cooling kits for the DIYers out there. The more extreme enthusiasts use TEC cooling to really lower their temps for higher overclocks. So what do you get when you combine TECs and liquid cooling, and a company that wants to make it much easier for everyone to have top of the line cooling? You get the Freezone from CoolIt! The Freezone combines the best of everything, liquid cooling, TEC modules and a compact, easy to install system that anyone can utilize to make their system nice and cool. I installed the Freezone in both my Intel and AMD setups and took it for a spin to see what it could do, so continue on to learn more…

SilverStone makes excellent, high quality products that are designed well with functionality and performance in mind. Today for review I have the SilverStone Tundra TD01S, it is their venture into liquid cooling, and they have done it with style and class. The Tundra is something amazing to behold, it is an external liquid cooling system that is truly noiseless, as there are no fans involved in the cooling process. It uses a unique, patent pending, uni-body technology where the entire housing is the radiator to dissipate the heat from the coolant. I am truly impressed by the Tundra, not only does it look like a work of art, it performs exceptionally well at cooling, and does so truly silently. So read on to learn more about a truly silent cooling solution, the SilverStone Tundra…
