Review: gtx titan koolance blocks, fittings and koolance cpu

This time we bring our readers to the world of liquid cooling, with the help of one of the best manufacturers of blocks, fittings, and components for rl (liquid cooling) on the market, Koolance.

Products provided by pcRelic.com Koolance specialists:

The world of the rl was an unknown world and very attractive to many, how come there is water in the computer ?, but does it burn?

Fortunately, it is increasingly normal to find equipment with its components dissipated by water. Teams that are pampered to a greater or lesser extent so that the temperatures are not excessive, to apply extreme overclock's, with large and striking circuits, or simply to give a different touch to the pc's that we see every day.

This time we are going to go through water, the most critical components of a computer: The processor, the motherboard and the graphics cards. Comment that we can put blocks to almost all the components nowadays, from the ram memories, to the hard drives.

To get a close look at this world we have chosen Koolance, a prestigious company that started its journey in the world of silent refrigeration in 1995 doing research on dissipation and starting its journey in the consumer market in 2000.

Exceptional performance, reliability, energy savings and noise reduction are the main features that customers around the world choose Koolance for.

The components of the liquid refrigeration are small mechanized like those that are used in our houses to bring the water to the taps. Obviously adapted to pieces that are attached to our pc's, like any heatsink:

Fittings:

The quality of the Koolance fittings, stand out just by looking at them, easy to hold, these fittings thread perfectly without having to exert much pressure on them

Curves:

The curves can be 45, 60 and 90º, depending on what we need at all times to adapt the rl circuit to our tower.

Adapters / Extenders:

Through this type of pieces, we will fit the gaps that we have from curve to curve, or from block to block in the case of graphics cards.

Quick connectors:

This type of recently appeared connectors allow us to be able to disassemble any component of our liquid refrigeration, without having to empty the circuit, greatly facilitating the work inside the equipment, if we have to change a component.

Blocks:

For the cpu we have the Koolance CPU-380I

The block is very well protected in a box with protections to avoid damaging it.

They come with an instruction manual, assembly for the different Intel sockets and thermal paste.

The construction quality of the block is unsurpassed, the mounting system is very easy, and at the same time very safe, made of anti-corrosive nickeled copper, acetal top, and thick steel mounting bracket.

Little to add to that nickelado image of the contact surface. ?

For graphics cards, Koolance VID-NXTTN.

Again the packaging is very good, the vacuum-packed block is surrounded by protective foam rubber.

Inside the box we can find the block, some thermal pads, for the memories, and vrm's, and a bacplate for the back of the card.

The backplate made of anodized aluminum, bears the xerographed Koolance logo.

The back of the bacplate tells us where to put the thermal pads.

Again that impressive polished mirror effect, this time on top of the block as well.

Assembly images:

Detail of where some quick connectors would go, in this case we can remove the side of the tower that has the 9 x 12 radiator attached, without having to remove the circuit.

Equipment and tests:

Intel Core i7-3930K @ 4.9 GHz 1.46vMSI Big Bang X79 Corsair Platinum 2133 @ 2400 MhzRaid 0 SSD Corsair GT 128 GBEvga Supernova 15003 Way Sli Titan 6 GB

The tests have been passed with an ambient temperature of 20 degrees.

The Cpu circuit has a D5 to 4 pump, a Phobya 9 x 12 radiator and 9 fans at 800 rpm.

WE RECOMMEND YOU Review: Corsair Hydro Series H60

The Gpu´s circuit, two triple radiators, and two D5 pumps in a double top. Fans at 800rpm

We have compared the processor to an EK block, the EK Supreme HF.

In Idell, 30 min.

In full with 10 passes of Intel -burn.

The graphics cards are compared to their heatsink at the factory.

In idell 30 min.

In full Unigine Benchmark 4.0, 5 passes.

conclusion

As we have been able to observe, we have not only achieved an impressive aesthetic in our equipment, but also, we achieve temperatures and levels that with air sinks are unthinkable.

It's really worth putting together such a team, that's very subjective for each individual.

If we want to push our components to the limit, without a doubt yes. For the tests, the graphics cards were heated to 1200 Mhz, taking their consumption up to 300W, that consumption is converted into heat to dissipate, and with these blocks we have had no problem maintaining temperatures of around 40/42 degrees during sessions of games for a couple of hours.

The processor less stressed in gaming sessions than it can be with a “toaster”, such as Intel burn, has never gone above 50 degrees. That temperature is a dream for the best of the 4.9 Ghz air coolers.

Liquid cooling is still expensive, and more with components of this quality, but from our point of view and in the case of equipment like the one we have analyzed, it should not be missing to be able to take full advantage of the Hardware we have.

Many thanks to Gustavo from Pcrelic liquid refrigeration store, for the transfer of these components. He has shown us that he is a great professional, answering all our questions at all times with a prompt and close treatment.
