Xirex Liquid Cooling Starter Set Review
Xirex Liquid Cooling Starter Set Review
Xirex launched a €90 all-in-one water cooling kit, it comes with a 120mm radiator, 12v pump, nicely polished water block and all the tubing and extra gear to get it installed in a wink of an eye. We compare its performance to a more expensive Swiftech water cooling kit, as well as some popular air cooled heatsinks. Read on to find out if this is kit any good.

  Introduction

Watercoolers are a dying breed, but not for Xirex Liquidcooling, a new company started by former Aquacooling personnel. Few months back @ CEBIT they introduced us with a low-end watercooling kit specially designed to compete with the various high-end heatpipe coolers which sell like hot cookies nowadays. At a price lower then € 100 you get all the mandatory components to go liquid and price/performance wise it looks definitely like one of the better kits we've seen last few years. But will it be able to challenge the high-end air market, we found it .

As part from the Rombus group, Xirex Liquidcooling department is committed in designing and manufacturing the best quality liquid cooling products, addressing a new market segment which is rapidly growing and is demanding products with high cooling performance, noise reduction and easiness of use/installation. Their target is not to only cover the liquid cooling market, Xirex deals with all issues regarding the cooling for Office-PCs, High-End-PCs, Gaming-PCs up to server cooling. This offer is rounded by an extensive range of products, from the automatic, freely scalable fan control up to LCD-displays to use the assigned components forceful and effective.



Few months back we visited Xirex Liquidcooling at their boot at Cebit 2008, we already had a view back then on their upcoming liquid cooling starter set:
