Cooler Master Aquagate MAX Liquid Cooling Kit Review


Tue 2008-12-09 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan
Guru3D have posted a review of the Cooler Master Aquagate MAX CPU liquid cooling system.

Here's what they had to say:

"So taken as a whole the CoolerMaster Aquagate MAX can definitely be a success. It's a good amount better in performance compared to say the average Thermaltake Bigwater kits yet prices slightly higher. Aesthetics wise this is one of the best looking kits your money can purchase. It's easy to install, easy to use and overall performs really well. it's good, but not in the enthusiast high-end segment. it could be there though if CoolerMaster would look into a slightly better water-block. Shave off another 10 Degrees C on our 4 GHz overclock and this kit would be just astounding.

For me the biggest negative where the noise levels. If you are not at a ESA compatible environment (nForce 780/790) you will not have control over the FANS and the reservoir where the fans are regulated seems to only force 2400 RPM on the fans. Therefore at default the are slightly too loud and could become bothersome. "


If you are in the market for a competent, easy to install liquid cooling kit and don't plan on doing any extreme quad-core overclocking, the Aquagate MAX is definitely worth a look.
