Silent Watercooling - Component guide & Radiator shoot out

CPU Watercooling


Although modern processing cores are becoming more and more power efficient, they’re also being clocked faster and more of them are being crammed onto a single chip, which inevitably leads to a higher heat output. Although conventional air coolers can tame them, few can do it quietly; those that can tend to be very large, leaving limited space for other components within the system, such as RAM. It’s probably no surprise then that the CPU is the most common component to watercool, with a massive range of blocks and kits on the market for this very purpose (check out my review of some of the latest kits here).



For todays review, I decided to go with the EK Surpreme HF water block. Widely accepted amongst the watercooling community as one of the best blocks out there, it should be more than capable of taming the AMD Phenom test chip. It was used in the Custom Kit in our recent round-up, combined with other components it produced the best results on test – nice!
