Conclusion

Danger Den’s RBX Power kit does exactly what it promises, it gives the end-user the Power to cool his system with the best water cooling gear out there, all components are of high quality and the performance is high even when running the pump and fan at lower voltages.

With the optional accelerator nozzle kit they add another level of customisation to the water-cooling scene, offering you the possibility to change the characteristics of the water-block to fit the user's needs. Using the default nozzle kit will give you good performance with a wide range of pumps, while putting in the #5 nozzle in combo with a high output pump will boost the performance even further.

One of the most useful features of Danger Den’s Power kit however is the ability to completely customise each and every component, a larger radiator or smaller reservoir, you name it , they got it!

Price wise you won’t need to take out a mortgage on your house, the kit tested here can be yours for ~$250.

We would like to thank Dan from DD for his patience and support.

Addendum

You might be wondering why we didn’t use the Y-splitter in our test setup, this is the reason:

Measuring the lenghts of the tubing to make sure it will all fit nicely


To make the whole kit fit into an Antec LanBoy it needs to be as compact as possible, the Y-splitter takes up a lot of room and we chose to make good use of the extra connections the bay reservoir offers.

Details on how we try to fit a high performance kit into a small case like this will be for an upcoming article in the near future, keep your eyes open!
