Overclockers

SUMMARY: Watercooling products are increasing.

I have seen more watercooling products at Computex this year than in the past – manufacturers are responding to the CPU heat challenge increasingly using water. What follows is a view of what’s showing on the floor – these products will be reviewed by us as they are made available:

Global Win has updated their entry level watercooler (“Blofi”) by replacing the integrated waterblock-pump with a mag-drive pump:

The radiator is a new model which is placed outside the case:

The tube on top of the radiator is the fill tube.

EverCool has updated their entry with a very attractive case:

CoolerMaster is featuring a number of new products (Go HERE); among them is a watercooling entry for servers:

There are also consumer level products, one of which is the AQUAMINI:

This example is a dual CPU application.

Thermaltake is featuring a very full product line, indicative of a major thrust into watercooling. The Tribe

is an external unit featuring a 120 mm fan, waterblock and pump. The Silent Water

is an entry level solution featuring an integrated 120 mm fan/radiator/pump and CPU waterblock.

For the noise-sensitive application, there is the Rocket:

This is a fanless design which uses a cooling tower approach.

Thermaltake also showed a high-end case:

Very pretty but top-end pricing.

A very interesting product is their stand-alone VGA watercooler “Tide Water”:

This product is targeted to taming increasingly hot GPUs:

This unit exhausts hot air through two PCI slots.
