Three-Way Liquid CPU Cooler Comparison


Thu 2008-05-15 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan
X-bit Labs has just tested and compared three compact liquid CPU coolers, from Akasa, AURAS, and Xigmatek.

Here’s what they had to say:

"The conclusions will be pretty simple today. To be more exact there can be only one conclusion: the cooling solutions we have just discussed will hardly be of any interest to overclocking fans. They are not efficient enough for the money and generate quite a bit of noise during work. So, what might attract a potential customer to these three CPU coolers? Compact size, universal design, simple installation and modding highlighting could be those features, although most cooling solutions using heatpipe design do have all these features too."


In summary, stay away from all three coolers. There is no reason to settle for an inefficient liquid-cooling design when there is an abundance of affordable, quiet, high performance CPU coolers on the market.
