Fractal Design Celsius S24: Silent Liquid CPU Cooler - PWM - Intelligent 💧 Controls - 240mm Radiator - Includes 2x Dynamic X2 PWM GP-12 Fans - Black Review

AIO coolers are a tricky business. Most pumps are made by the same manufacturers, and the differences are usually down to (1) quality control, (2) the quality of tubing and standard fans, (3) ease of installation, and finally (4) aesthetics. Poor quality control usually makes us read those AIO cooler nightmare stories - unexpected and accidental leaks are the main problem. The second horror story is usually related to installation, bent pins, or otherwise improper installation of the heatsink…

UPDATE: Wrong. Ignore my original review. After replacing the radiator the noise stayed. Turns out it's my PSU fan, which I didn't check before replacing the cooler. Guilty. Dear error on my part. Then this cooler works fine as the noise wasn't coming from it.-=-=-=-I bought this to replace a LEPA water cooler I used to have that was starting to fail. The pump of this cooler is noisy. This is a buzzing noise that gets more annoying as speed increases. I've tried all different configurations…

These are great for cooling your system. You can choose between two modes: Auto = slower but quieter and PWM = louder but faster (means better cooling). This can be a good thing if you don't want to tweak fan settings and everything, but can also be a disadvantage if you want to tune your fan speed to hit specific temperatures without blowing your fans faster than necessary, resulting in more hands. free pc configuration. I overclocked my 8700k to 4.9 with no issues. They're generally very…

This cooler is slightly more expensive than others, but it's clearly a quality unit. There is one problem though - the Intel mounting bracket (for the back of the motherboard) is a flimsy piece of junk! The AMD brackets are made of solid metal and will certainly serve you well. The Intel bracket is made of soft plastic. It has captive nuts that attach to the posts on the front of the MB. These nuts slide through channels to fit different MBs. The only thing holding the nut in the channel is a…

If you're looking for an easy and painless build, especially for beginners, this monoblock is for you. No software required, no messy cables, no hassle. I bought this for my Ryzen 7 1800X (upgrading to Ryzen 7nm next year). I looked at and compared other AIOs from Corsair, NZXT and even the new ASUS AIOs. I thought I might regret buying it but once I installed it it was gone. Although this is the latest generation Asetek cold plate design, it is covered by a 5 year warranty compared to Asus…

Simple design, I don't need flashy RGB lighting. Works great as plug and play. I would suggest PWM mode as it runs a bit louder but even then isn't as audible. I have an R5 1600 overclocked to 3.8GHz and it stays cool at idle at around 30 degrees Celsius and as highlighted doesn't go above 68 degrees. Everyone around is happy with this aio.

Great cooling for my Intel Core i7 8700K. The included fans are very quiet and I didn't have to change them even though Noctua fans were present. It also has its own fan controller, it only needs a fan header on the motherboard. I installed this in a Fractal Mini C case, top mounted, works very well.

Noctua dh14 replaced with this one as a new case didn't fit in the big air cooler. The hoses bang against the door but bend slightly without bending. Temperatures are cooler than before with very little noise. I used standard thermal paste but I have 9900k so the connection is not very important. I plan on upgrading it to a full kit due to the expandable setup I originally chose it for.

MEET THIS BAD BOY AS THE FRACTAL MINI C EXHAUST BODY. I haven't had the chance to overclock yet due to work and family, but I'm sure it will handle the heat just fine. I LOVED THE NON-RGB LOOK! I ALSO REPLACED THE SUPPLIED PASTE WITH SOME MX4 ITEMS! I LOVE FRACTAL PRODUCTS.
