Asetek WaterChill CPU Cooling Kit Review

Dom · May 24, 2003, 04:05 AM

The makers of the renowned Vapochill have just launched a new series of "entry-level" ("" indicate sarcasm for those wondering ^_^) cooling products. This time around, instead of vapor cooling, they've gone with watercooling and, have named it Asetek style, Waterchill. Regular readers would be familiar with the simplified theories in vapor cooling (from the Vapochill review) and watercooling (from the LRWW review). So let's just get to it.

Because of the prohibitive costs of vapor cooling, Asetek has decided to address the "budget" extreme coolers with a watercooling kit. In a market flooded (no pun intended) with water kits, Asetek tries to stand out. How? The Waterchill's assets are easily its abecedarian implementation and the low noise synonymous with the Vapochill system.

Technical Specifications :

*Maximum performance (on par or better than the competition) and capable of removing 200W of CPU-heat.
*“Push on” fittings for tool-less and easy assembly of tubes on the CPU block
*Pure copper base plate - providing best possible heat removal ratio
*10mm fittings (/tubes) for maximum flow
*Low noise, Long endurance & Low power consumption
*Precision designed plexiglas reservoir -easy to fill and monitor
*30 second filling & air removal process.
*Powerful enough to utilize the water block to its full potential - 700l/hr.
*Capable of removing 400W of heat
*120 mm Low Noise Sunon Fan (CE approved)
*Optimal tube diameter (6.5mm x 10mm)
