The fundamental rule of radiator performance testing is to see how well the radiator cools the coolant. For us, computer geeks, the most widespread way of describing radiator performance is by using W/10°C, or in other words, Watts per 10 Delta T (sometimes K is used instead of ΔT). To make it easier to understand, we are going to look at some performance charts.
In this episode of Featured Builds & Mods, we are presenting to you Rhapsody in Purple. It comes from Bulgaria, and actually, it is made by a local hardware shop Desktop.bg, to be more precise by the hands of Bogdan Katanski. It’s not all that common to see a hardware shop doing a build like this, but if you see someone punching so much power into a mid-tower case, you know they don’t mess about!
The In Win H-Frame 2.0 is a beast and masterpiece by itself, but NGEN decided to turn up the dial. So, when something is already impressive, it is kind of hard to improve it, right? Since this is not NGEN’s first build, nor last, we are pretty sure that they got this one just spot on. But don’t let us bias you, enjoy the pictures and feel free to share your opinion!
In the next few weeks, we are going to concentrate on radiators for a bit. There will be a series of blogs, all dedicated to radiators and the basics you need to know about them.
We will kick off the new year with a project from Danny Böhm, that was actually finished in late 2016. Just look at that beauty! Danny builds many PCs, but most of the hardware he uses has quite a dark scheme. This is his personal system and it should be different, white, as white as possible!
AMD is heating things up their new Zen microarchitecture and we came prepared to the party! With the release of the new Ryzen™ CPUs and A-series APUs codenamed Bristol Ridge, the AMD water cooling community will bloom again and that is why we prepared a short tutorial.
PC modder Atila decided to give tribute to the place where he got introduced to modding, overclocking and water cooling for the first time. This build is the result.
Tips and tricks about different PWM cables and how to use them in the liquid cooling loop to gain more silence and better performance control.
The PC was built for one of their more demanding clients, so choosing the best hardware components goes hand in hand with a full custom liquid cooling loop. Great performance, aesthetics and longer lasting components are the core words that describe this system.
Our support is usually bombarded with questions about the differences between D5 and DDC. In this article, we take a closer look at D5 and DDC pumps.
