Conclusion

If you like silence then this product really rocks. Performance wise it is comparable to a normal air cooling. If you want high performance and overclocking, this product will however not totally satisfy your needs.

The price is rather high (close to €300) but silence for me is just priceless!

I would have appreciated an English manual, as not everyone has an internet connection handy. Second small remark is the possibility of adding a flow meter into the design, so the system can give an alarm in case the pump fails.

Overall this is pricey solution for those seeking absolute silence and are not into overclocking. Thanks to the complete external solution it’s quite the ideal partner for barebone/mini systems.

I would like to thank Tom from Factor for setting me up with the unit, for more info be sure to check out Xice.de.



Next up I’m going to get me new mounting clips so I can fit the block on my Socket A system (they are ~€4 in the store) and try to get my hands on a GPU water block, stay tuned for an update!
