Verdict and Conclusion
AIO (all-in-one) liquid coolers are become more and more popular. There are a few reasons for this sudden popularity. These include the instant wow-factor when you install a AIO CPU cooler, and the ability to get some really low temperatures if you decide to overclock your processor.
The aesthetics of the ID-Cooling ICEKIMO is OK, considering it is the world’s first pure white AIO liquid cooler, according to ID-Cooling. The build quality of the white 240mm radiator is pretty decent, however the flexible rubber tubing feels a little too soft for my liking. And as far as the waterblock is concerned, I didn’t get that feeling of robustness. It’s a little on the light-side in terms of weight. On closer examination, we find that the waterblock is made up of a thin copper base only. It does however feature micro fins and a large surface area. I didn’t really like the plastic encasing.
In our tests, the ID-Cooling ICEKIMO produced pretty decent cooling performance with idle temperatures of around 31 degrees Celsius for stock CPU speed. Load temperatures reached 50 degrees Celsius.
For our overclocked results, the idle temperatures was a stable 33 degrees Celsius, but reached 67 degrees Celsius on full load. Not bad considering the ICEKIMO is cheapest out of all the AIO CPU coolers we’ve tested. It kept up with the more established brands such as Cooler Master and Deepcool.
Costing a mere USD $65, the ID-Cooling ICEKIMO 240W is an absolute bargain. I haven’t found anything cheaper. Remember, you’re getting a completely white AIO CPU liquid cooler with a 240mm radiator, white LED fans with anti-vibration pads as well as waterblock with white LEDs.
If you after a white AIO CPU liquid cooler for your all white chassis … then why not consider the ID-Cooling ICEKIMO. However, if you’re a serious overclocker who’s after the best cooling performance, I suggest you look elsewhere.
Pros
- World’s first all white AIO CPU liquid cooler
- The most inexpensive and affordable AIO CPU liquid cooler
- Waterblock with white LEDs
- Whte LED fans with anti-vibration pads
Cons
- The aesthetics may not be to everyone’s tastes
Final Thoughts
I never thought there be a day when I can get a AIO CPU liquid cooler for just USD $99. What’s more it’s completely white, even the fins on the radiator are white. The ID-Cooling ICEKIMO 240W is perfect for anyone who want to give a try in AIO liquid cooling. It’s one of the most inexpensive AIO CPU coolers I’ve come across and does a pretty decent job too.
