Kingwin AquaStar AS-3000 Water Cooling Kit [Review, PimpRig]
The tiny flow indicator at the bottom of the panel cycles slowly through a rainbow of colors.
The color of the LCD back light is user definable. You can choose one of seven colors or have
it cycle through all the colors, or you can simply turn off the back light. I found the cycling
a bit annoying, but the ability to mix and match colors will certainly appeal to case modders.
For the front fan you can have any color you want, as long as it's blue. Thu, 22 Sep, 2005 | 21 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Koolance ICM 505 Review [Review, Hardware.GamersHell]
Koolance seems to be unstoppable when it comes to churning out water cooling products. This time, they released an internal cooling option for those that wanted it. The ICM-505 is mounted with a 120mm fan; the downside to this is that if you do not have a 120mm slot in your case then the module will be difficult to mount. Conversion kits from 120mm to 80mm do exist, and Koolance plans on releasing something similar. The choice of a 120mm fan was obvious because the radiator requires the heat to be pushed out to produce optimal cooling. Tue, 20 Sep, 2005 | 17 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Titan Robela Water Cooling Case [Review, PimpRig]
The Robela water case is intended to bring watercooling to the masses, and
the many n00b friendly touches built into it reflect that intention. There was
obviously a lot of R&D that went into the Robela water case in order to make it
one of the easiest watercooling options available. Fri, 16 Sep, 2005 | 10 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Zalman CNPS9500 LED CPU cooler [Review, rbmods]
It was quite awhile ago I heard something from Zalman but now I have finally got a nice looking sample of their latest cpu cooler named CNPS9500 LED. It's basically a silent cpu cooler with a led fan, but as we all know Zalman stands for something more than that. They are the experts on quiet products and therefore it will be interesting to see how this cpu cooler will perform during our tests.

Zalman CNPS9500 LED heatsink/fan [Review, silentpcreview]
Zalman made a name for itself with highly efficient CPU heatsinks that work well with low airflow — an excellent combination for low noise. Their original "flower" design was a stroke of genuis: Many thin fins clamped very tightly together along one edge, which was then machined to a fine polish to become the base. The unattached opposite ends of the fins was spread apart to allow airflow between them. At the time, it was an inexpensive way to make a very high performance heatsink. It spawned many copycats, and several other companies adopted similar designs. Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, but it is probably keeping Zalman's patent lawyers busy.

Sharkoon Silent Eagle 2000 80mm Fan [Review, PimpRig]
Up for review today is Sharkoon's new Silent Eagle 2000 Fan. What is the
fancy name all about and how is this "silent" fan different from many other
silent fans on the market? In a word... dimples. The Silent Eagle line of fans
from Sharkoon feature a new fan-blade design similar to that of a golf ball.
Let's see if this new fan design really makes a difference. Thu, 08 Sep, 2005 | 19 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Thermaltake Tribe AMD Athlon & Intel Pentium 4 water cooler system review [Review, a1-electronics]
Great idea for a design is the Tribe but let down by such a low power water pump. While the Thermaltake Tribe design might not be to your personal taste it will appeal to a lot of people because the Tribe is different and attractive but the poor cooling performance lets it down.

Thermaltake AquaBay M1 water reservoir & flow indicator review [Review, a1-electronics]
Its well done Thermaltake for this handy combined AquaBay M1 reservoir and flow indicator for small & medium heatsink pipe systems. You can easily use the 10/12mm pipe adapters in the kit. We found that 10mm tubing will fit on the standard smaller fittings. So no need to install the larger ones in the Thermaltake AquaBay M1 kit.

Zalman CNPS9500Cu-Led CPU Cooler Reviewed [Review, HardwareXL]
COMPUTEX, already in its 25th year, was held in Taipei World Trade Center (TWTC) in Taiwan from May 31 to June 4, 2005. Zalman Tech occupied a 6m x 6m booth in Hall 1 showing brand new products such as the CNPS9500 LED. Now 3 months later I get a chance to have a look at the Zalman CNPS9500Cu-Led cpu cooler. CNPS9500 LED, with its unique design, weight of less than 500g, and performance that is comparable to water-cooling was the talk of the event among many experts. It's smaller than the 7700Cu, but boy can it handle heat ;-) Mon, 05 Sep, 2005 | 38 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Cooler Master Aquagate Mini R120 [Review, TrustedReviews]
If two water cooling kit reviews in as many weeks isn’t testament to the increasing popularity of water as a viable alternative to air for CPU cooling, then the ever swelling list of products available to choose from surely is.
As sales in these water cooling kits have grown, we’ve seen more companies taking much more care with the design of the components. This has led to more compact designs and consistent use of the correct size of connectors instead on the not uncommon sight of reducers, spacers, adaptors and general ‘dohickeys’ all cobbled together just to get the unmatched components working together on the same circuit.

asetek VapoChill Micro [Review, HardwareZone]
The asetek's VapoChill system undergoes miniaturization into the compact,
easy-to-install VapoChill Micro. However, it still retains the cooling
capabilities befitting an enthusiast's needs. Fri, 02 Sep, 2005 | 18 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Thermaltake Bigwater SE [Review, TrustedReviews]
One of the major benefits of the increasing acceptability of water cooling, apart from lowering prices, is that the additional research and development makes for better quality and generally more reliable components. Pumps, reservoirs, radiators and water blocks tend now to be designed and built to be used alongside each other. This means they often use the same connectors throughout, and these connectors are specifically matched to the type and the diameter of tubing that is to be used. The result is a far more integrated cooling circuit that’s generally more robust than trying to piece together a system using parts that are not necessarily well suited to each other, such as an aquarium pump from here with a car heater radiator from there.

Asetek WaterChill Xtreme 12V Pump/Reservoir [Review, Hexus]
The design is revolutionary. I'm sure we'll see copycat
designs surfacing to flatter the Asetek engineers. Performance is
excellent, this pump should be able to handle the most taxing of
watercooling circuits. Now all Asetek have to do is sort out the
Control Panel software. Mon, 29 Aug, 2005 | 19 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Spire SP503S0-1 air cooler heatsink review [Review, a1-electronics]
The Spire SP503S0-1 is not designed to be the highest performance air cooler heatsink as it is made using aluminium but with the use off a copper insert gives a light weight combination with acceptable cooling performance. Sun, 21 Aug, 2005 | 7 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Zalman CNPS9500 vs Asetek Microchill [Review, bit-tech]
If there's two names you would associate with enthusiast cooling, it's Zalman and Asetek. Asetek have been known for a long time as the creators of the Vapochill cooling system, and more recently the awesome Waterchill kits. Zalman, on the other hand, have given us the Reserator water reservoir, as well as all kind of outrageous air heatsinks.
So, when both these companies step up in the same month with new air coolers, you might think Christmas has come a little early this year. Sun, 21 Aug, 2005 | 57 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail

Thermalright SI-97 GPU Cooler Mod Guide [Guide, rojakpot]
The stock coolers on most graphics cards barely do the job. If you are into overclocking, you would most certainly opt for a third-party cooler from the likes of Zalman or Arctic Cooling.
But for a select group of extreme overclockers who enjoy voltage-modding their cards for the extra edge, even third-party coolers just won't hack it.
Today, Max_87 shows us just how easy it is to mod a Thermalright SI-97 CPU cooler into an awesome GPU cooler capable of handling even voltage-modded cards! Sat, 13 Aug, 2005 | 15 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Asetek WaterChill CPU/VGA/Chipset Power kit - KT12AT-L30 [Review, HotHardware]
With today's ever advancing PC technology, it seems that two things ultimately remain unchanged; an increase in performance usually means an escalation in heat output. Currently, air cooling techniques can still keep most computer hardware operating at reasonable temperatures, but those who decide to squeeze every ounce of performance from their systems will see, and potentially hear, the limitations of these methods. With some systems starting to rival the noise levels of the household vacuum, computer enthusiasts are always on the hunt for alternative cooling solutions that may quiet down their rigs. This is where Asetek comes in.
Asetek is known for producing such infamous cooling systems as the VapoChill vapor-phase change system, but they also produce a full line of water-cooling related products as well. Asetek's latest addition to their WaterChill line of products, the KT12AT-L30, is also known as the WaterChill Extreme Edition. Sporting a massive radiator which hosts three 120mm fans, water blocks for your CPU, VPU, and Chipset, and a pump that moves about 900L/H, this kit seemed very promising.
