About this deal

The design is nothing ground breaking, but the beauty of the Frostflow+ 280 is in it’s simplicity. The monochrome looks of the white LED’s on the pump, and the white fans blades, means it will fit into just about any colour build the end user has.

Liquid Series® Water Cooled PCs from PCSpecialist offer the highest level of technology and engineering. Keep your components running cool and quiet with a water cooled gaming pc.I think I've partially solved my issue with custom curves, though. I will look at new fans in the near future (as this is a loud cooler at 50%+ usage). I have a PCS Cooler and use ASUS Armoury Crate. It is utterly rubbish software really but it works! It has a few default profile options.

So you can get coolers (and case fans) that can brute force their way to the top of benchmark charts if measured by thermal performance alone, but this is often at the expense of noise. So a truly great cooler will not only cool the CPU, but do so at a lower noise level. And this is where the likes of Noctua coolers are king, but they do less well in the third metric, price. First impressions are that this is a pretty nice looking unit. Most noticeable is that the pump on this model has a much more conservative look than either of the previous AIO coolers we’ve seen from ID-COOLING. There’s no comet tail LED effect that the 240 sports, nor anything like the intricate design from the ICEKIMO. RGB Sync with motherboard, 120mm Radiator, Copper Base High Pressure Pump,Premium Sleeved Tubing, TR4 Compatible Comet-Tail LED, 240mm Radiator, Copper Base, Dual High Pressure Pump, High Static Pressure Fan, Wide CompatibilitySo, while I expect the occasional more noisy flurry when it's really being pushed, my issue that it's noisy and whining at much lower fan usage levels. The cooler isn't sufficient for the processor, the 7900 can put out 140w at full load, that cooler is good for about 65w, that's why it's noisy because the cooler is overloaded. It should also be noted that the reason we omit acoustic/noise testing is due to an inaccuracy within the readings and method. To provide truly accurate readings, you need a lab setting with the same ambient noise on an hour by hour, day by day and week by week basis. As ambient noise can increase at different times of the day, we believe that it’s pointless providing noise testing if we can’t measure consistent and accurate data due to our office being a busy setting.

Also, their own tutorial for Aura Creator shows the temperature dependent function - but it doesn't actually exist for any user it seems. The default one under Armoury Crate just changes to three colours Green, Yellow or Red, at temperatures that you can adjust. But you can't adjust the the colours or brightness and it doesn't blend between them - just instantly changes as it crosses the temp threhsold. Not only does Corsair's iCUE H100i Elite Capellix cooler have an enticing aesthetic design, it also has one of the lowest-rated noise production levels that we've seen on a CPU water cooler. To be fair, the cooler can get a bit loud when the fans and pump are operating at full speed—when everything's revved up, Corsair says, the noise can climb to 37dBA. At ideal temperatures, however, the Elite Capellix is rated for as little as 10dBA, which is practically inaudible assuming the number holds in your specific build.The more powerful your CPU is, the bigger and better cooler you'll need, no surprises there. If your desktop PC needs a lot of power and you travel with it, you're likely to feel safer with a radiator that's attached to your case via 8 or 12 screws than with a huge chunk of metal hanging off your motherboard. Moving onto the 280mm radiator, and again we see a no-frills design. Made of aluminium, and featuring a simple splash of branding to the side of the unit, its apparent that the finished look once inside your case is going to be a fairly understated look. One positive thing to note with the radiator is that the fin density looks to be really good, which should help with the dissipation of heat when in operation.
