Danger Den P4 RBX Power kit Review
Cooling/Water Cooling by jmke @ 2004-05-25
We install Danger Den?s high end water cooling kit, powered by the ever popular RBX water block and Danger Den?s own 12v pump, on our P4 test setup to see how it performs.
Radiator, Fan and Reservoir
Black Ice Xtreme Radiator
A very compact and high performance radiator able to remove heat from the water with ease, it has mounting holes for a 120mm fan and overall dimensions will make it fit into any mid-size tower case.
After seeing the high quality fittings on the RBX I was kind of disappointed to see plastic fittings on this radiator. The plastic fittings come separately and their threads have Teflon on them. Just screw them in and you’re done.
BI Xtreme + 120mm Evercool fan
There was no fan mounting hardware included in the sample kit we received, but a quick e-mail to DD support sorted this out really quick!
Although we handled the radiator we great care we saw some off at one side, nothing too challenging to fix up for any modder/HW enthusiast
Overall finishing of the BI Xtreme is good, but the paint could use a 2nd layer
Evercool Chrome 120mm fan
The included 120mm fan is a real eye-catcher, Evercool’s fan puts out 80cfm at ~30 decibel, not too bad and it’s a nice addition to the kit. Although at 12v it will be too loud for a silent setup. At 7v the ratio noise/performance is good enough to keep the radiator cool.
Reservoir
You won’t lose much room when placing this reservoir in your case; it fits nicely in a 5”25 bay and is quite easy to fill up.
