As the major processor makers cram more transistors on a wafer, the amount of heat processors generate increases. While air cooling techniques are still sufficient to handle the greater heat output, much better solutions exists. Using a kit with parts pre-selected can often times be better than a similar do-it-yourself system and also cost much less. In this review we will look at the water cooling alternative with a complete kit provided by Gigabyte Technology – the 3D Galaxy Liquid Cooling System.
Features & SpecificationsFeatures
- Combined pump and reservoir for easy filling
- Baffle in reservoir that helps remove air quickly
- Relay built into pump/reservoir assembly so the pump turns on/off with the system
- Automatic shuttoff of system if water level becomes too low when using the relay
- Fan mounted on the waterblock for MOSFET cooling
- Cool blue LED's
- Radiator fan speed control
