Photos Part Two: The Cooler
The heart of the matter is the radiator and the pump+waterblock combo. The hoses are nice and soft and resist kinking.
The baseplate has a nice smooth finish and comes with a thin layer of thermal glop pre-installed, I’ll test that glop against my daily use ArcticAlumina Ceramic2 paste.
The radiator is about the same thickness as a standard 120mm fan, an inch or so.
Not surprisingly the finned area is also about the same size as a standard 120mm fan. Almost like it’s built for a 120mm fan…
Speaking of fans, here’re what you get with this cooler:
Rounded edges on the blades, nice thick blades, PWM control, these look promising!
Next up, mounting!
