CoolIT ECO Liquid Cooling System Review
Conclusions
Contents
The point in using a liquid cooling system instead of an air cooler is to obtain better performance with less noise. With this in mind, CoolIT ECO failed, because it achieved an average performance, even compared to the air coolers we tested so far.
Regarding noise level, the pump is very quiet (actually, inaudible), but the fan even though it was very silent when our CPU was idle was relatively loud with the CPU fully loaded, with a noise level equivalent to the one achieved by good air coolers.
ECO is a little bit more expensive than most high-performance air coolers. Therefore the only reason someone would buy ECO would be to impress his or her nerd friends, without any real performance advantages or cost/benefit ratio in mind.
