Corsair Hydrocool 200 Watercooling

[Rys]

It's not often we take a look at discrete water cooling at HEXUS, so it was a pleasure to have Corsair's all in one solution in for a good seeing to.

How would we summarise our Hydrocool 200 findings ?. We'd say that it's an excellent platform from which to start your watercooling adventure. Decent component selection and integration takes most of the hard work out of it. Its external nature may be either a benefit or a hindrance to you. Priced at around £185, it isn't cheap. Recommended to those that want a hassle-free entrance into the world of watercooling.

Can't for the LIFE of me, see why anyone would want a cooler that was seperate from their tower case! Which is a shame, cos its probably ideal for a server in a hot office, or a work PC thats on 24/7.

I realise its removeable, but its a big boy ,isn't it?

All that said, its a stunning bit of engineering AND the heatblock for the CPU is so thin its incredible.

PLUS I guess, removing the cooling totally from the system case brings CASE temps down....and...if you're cunning.....you'd get longer hoses and have it OUTSIDE on the window sill in winter

What was the room temp when these tests where done? I did not see it mentioned in the review, sorry if i missed it.
