CoolIt ECO Advanced Liquid Cooling (A.L.C.) System - CPU Cooler Review

For years, water cooling your processor was a difficult and often frightening task relegated to enthusiasts with a penchant for risk (and reward). You needed to basically engineer your own device based on parts that may or may not have been designed to work together, and then cross your fingers that it would all work out.

 

In recent times however, liquid cooling has become substantially more practical because of the increased heat of high-performance video processors and CPUs, as well as the attendant noise of the fans needed to move the hot air away from such components. Smaller (and much easier to install) closed liquid cooling systems are now about as 'difficult' to install as a power supply, meaning just about anyone who has opened a computer could easily add a liquid-cooling setup to their machine. With this in mind, CoolIt has introduced their ECO A.L.C. CPU Cooling System, an all-in-one solution where all the parts are provided.

Kingston Plunges into Water Cooling

Kingston Watercooling

"Kingston has released a couple of pictures of what appears to be a new HyperX kit that can be hooked up to a water cooling system, which implies that we might see a kit that is designed for overclockers.

 

In general, Kingston HyperX kits are quite good, and as far as it can be seen from these first pictures this DDR3 kit will probably be targeting high-performance LGA 1156 and AM3 setups. We doubt that Kingston will pair its new water cooling heatsink with some low-performance or even mid-range kits, and we guess that we might see the 2133MHz kit overclocked beyond anything we've seen so far.

Our Take: Water cooled RAM has so far been a limited market, but perhaps that will change if more manufactuers -- like Kingston -- jump into the fray.
