I was pretty impressed with how great was the radiator in the end and to be mounted on the top of the case was no longer to think, because either the holes did not fit (the part of the housing) or the distance to the MB was too small.
However, the radiator fits with me in the front. Here a lot to me on the first disadvantage. The PWM lines to the fans are too short and do not reach the motherboard. Unfortunately, the fans are also quite noisy and I'm still looking for an alternative to this. Probably added NB ELOOP once the 140mm version is available.
The cooling capacity of the system is however Herrvorragend so my AMD FX-8350 (OC 4.8GHz) is cooled to 23 ° C in idle under load to reach still around 63 ° C.
Corsair delivers the CPU cooler, with applied thermal grease from. Unfortunately, too few for the size of the processor head. After placement of the cooler can be seen that not the entire area of the processor is covered by the paste.
Therefore, I have now ordered a good WP and will then apply. I think so the temperatures can be cooled again under load by 5-10 ° C down.
The water pump is almost inaudible and is running at 1500U / min.
Note you should in this system, the Corsair not software works and the two fans, and the pump need here with the Corsair Link each 4 or 3 pole fan connectors. A Y-cable for the fan is not supplied.
To control sit with me the fan on the CPU and CPU opt. Terminals of MB. The pump is supplied via a connector on the MB with electricity.
The advantage is that I dynamically all three components having to use tax without an additional software such as the CorsairLink. However, 3 ports are used on the MB and not every board has 2 CPU 4 pin connectors.
All in all, the cooling system is a worthwhile purchase, at default clock you can build here a very quiet system and still maintain very low temparatures.
[UPDATE]
Now that I have installed the thermal grease from Prolimatech and the fan Renewals accomplishes the cooler wonders.
In standard clock from 4,0GHz to reach a maximum of 46 ° C while rotating the fan at just 60-65%, the pump rotates while slowly. In manual fan control 100% 5 ° C are certainly again there.
At 4.8 GHz clock at 1,41V I get a permanent temperature of 55 ° C. So make sure everything is perfect. Super product !!!
However, it remains at the 4 stars, as you should buy an extra thermal compound and the fan cables are extremely short.
PS: The system now is very quiet, but I will certainly incorporate a few Airpenetrator to the air flow and noise optimized. But these are only small things for real perfectionists.
