Aquacomputer aquaduct 360 eco + MARK II - 12V pump [WASE-181] from WatercoolingUK

Details

Not always be the case for the installation of a water cooling system, for example, if the space is very cramped. Many users on the other hand back scare before effort, which is connected with a mounting. Nevertheless, they need to do without the excellent cooling performance at a low volume, which has a water cooling system. The solution: an external all-in-one set!

Aqua Computer has become an old hand in this area and offers a wide range in the watercooling sector. With the aquaduct series the portfolio also includes a highly successful external solution, which offers the eco-line now also a more cost effective "gateway drug" in this segment. This is an eco + model. This offers advantages over the normal eco-All-in-One Waküs more control to a programmable control, which otherwise only have the Pro and XT series.

Even with the cooling performance must not cut back towards the more expensive series to be made so that a whopping 700 watts maximum load can be dissipated. Only in the processing and features savings were made. Thus waived the powder coating and the ball valves, installed some plastic and a simpler model without expensive storage pumps. Who can do without it gets here full performance at a fair price.

Main focus of the design was the ease of use (at this mark II increased through the refill in the cover yet), compact size, and of course, excellent cooling performance. Accordingly, a large and powerful triple-radiator was installed. In addition, the set offers a high flexibility, since it can be operated both passively and actively.

The set includes the radiator, which transfers heat to the surrounding air, the pump which allows the water cycle, and a PCI-bracket, on the one hand allows for convenient control of the system and also leads the hoses attached to the PC. To cool luck missing only the optional request to CPU cooler and possibly graphics card (s), RAM, motherboard chipset, hard drives and power converters.

The housing is as close to 60 cm high and 22 cm wide tower designed with low depth, having a silver color design. Cooling fins on the outer sides are visible, which increase the surface area and increase the cooling capacity again. Behind these there are large water tanks, which usually is a maintenance only required on an annual basis. During operation the level of a small ball is quick and easy recognizable. The tower stands on a widened base, creating a safe state is guaranteed.

Behind the three protected by mesh openings to the actual radiator is with the fans. This is about a 360 model, which is equipped in accordance with three adjustable 120-mm fans. Further including said housing includes a microprocessor controlled pump 12V which quietly and efficiently performs its service.

At the back of the tower is located next to the Schlauchzu and disposals power. This is connected to the PCI slot bracket to the power supply. Using a control circuit board on the front plate and the revised aquasuite software such as a manual control of the fan is enabled. Even otherwise the aquaduct was designed for ease of use.

Thus, the whole system can be monitored and controlled - by the pump up to the fans. It can, among other things, the fan speed automatically adjust depending on the water temperature. In addition, can detect water and air temperature and show. This center should go in the revised, this second-generation kit for beginners and advanced alike.
