This is the most comparable to Fractal’s low-RPM performance, though is still louder. An extra 0.25-0.5” cable length would solve this. The real difference emerges from fans, and even that’s not much of a thermal game-changer. Fan can also be swapped or customized. Liquid temperatures almost never go above 29-30C on these Asetek coolers. And we’ve seen multiple up-close (X42 tear-down, EVGA CLC tear-down). The Celsius series uses an Asetek Gen5 pump, identical to the pump found on the EVGA CLC, NZXT X42/52/62, and Corsair H115i/H100iV2 coolers. With the CLC and EVGA Flow Control, take back control of your temperatures and peace of mind. New OC Scanner for finding the best stable overclock. And those braided tubes do look nice – on a closed-loop cooler. The mechanical action for the pump speed isn’t particularly reassuring; it doesn’t offer that haptic “click” each time, and it’s a completely impractical feature. The EVGA CLC 280 Liquid CPU cooler really impressed us with its low temperature readings, especially at full load (both at default and overclocked speeds). The cooling units feature low noise, RGB lighting on the water block module right on the EVGA branding and a robust software for you to manage temperatures and unlock your CPU to its fullest potential.

Monitor and control the CLC 280 with the new EVGA Flow Control software, which allows you to monitor and change pump speed, fan curve, and RGB LED! The CLC 280 offers premium sleeved tubing and fully controlled RGB LED to provide a sleek look. We understand why they’re there, but from our perspective, you support a product for its advertised features. Fractal’s coolers use 120mm fans that run a maximum RPM nearing 2000, with variable pump RPM from ~2000~3000. The 280mm CLCs tend to take top-ranks when maxed out on DC power to the fans, with Fractal’s 360mm solution rounding-out the middle of the pack. Fractal, meanwhile, is stopping short of greatness each step of the way, and it’s going to mean someone else swoops in and develops on those strong foundations. If you are intro your RGB lighting effects, and already have an RGB LED EVGA graphics card, the lighting synchronisation between this AiO cooler and your GTX card could appeal. Copyright © 1998 - 2021, HEXUS.net. The delta value is created by subtracting corresponding ambient readings (T3) from the average CPU core temperature. We control for ambient by constantly measuring temperatures with K-Type thermocouples and infrared readers. Once you’ve seen one Asetek Gen5 pump, you’ve really seen all of them. Tags: These two data points are averaged in a spreadsheet, creating a T3 value that is subtracted second-to-second from our AIDA64 logging of the CPU cores. For these tests, we configured the thermocouple reader's logging interval to 1s, matching the logging interval of GPU-Z and AIDA64. Your adjusted settings will be saved to firmware so you can set-and-forget. In a future update, the EVGA CLC 120 and CLC 280 will be fully controllable via software. The idea is that this helps with cable management, something Fractal’s obviously keen on, given the internal cable routing within the tube sleeves. Built in 280mm radiator and 2x 140mm fans help dissipate the heat keeping the CPU as cool as possible. Even then, if you’re going open loop, you might as well just do the whole thing. EVGA says that the cooling block has been designed to offer an "improved flow rate and heat transfer surface area," which as you will know, are good for cooling efficiency. Not surprisingly, the cooler with the best overall full-speed performance, EVGA’s CLC 280, also had the best value at that speed. The X62 at 1500RPM measures about 46.4dBA in our noise test, making it a little quieter than the Fractal S36 at max RPM. VCore voltage is locked to 1.141v for the CPU. The EVGA CLC 280 costs $120 and maintains a temperature of about 40C delta T with a 1050RPM speed, outputting a noise level of about 37.1dBA. In our testing, though, it seemed a little simpler than that – pump RPM is based on liquid temp, and as we found in our 7700K review (the hottest CPU we've tested), liquid temp never really exceeds 30C. You can buy the EVGA CLC 120 and CLC 280 closed loop CPU coolers now, priced at $89.99 and $129.99 respectively. These easy to install AiO liquid coolers are said to offer "incredible performance, low noise, robust software controls and RGB lighting".

Monitor and control the CLC 240 with the new EVGA Flow Control software, which allows you to monitor and change pump speed, fan curve, and RGB LED! It is not possible to fully replace the tube. Our first test initializes the review with just a few of the coolers – we’ll add more than a dozen tests to the chart in a moment. Terms of use This helps us determine cooling efficacy at a known noise level, equalizing for some product differences. This is something you do once, then never touch again – at least, not unless it’s an open bench. Radiator size: 312mm X 139mm X 27mm (LxWxH), Noise Level = 16.0 dB(A) (MIN) – 39.5 dB(A) (MAX). Of the three closed loop coolers EVGA offers, the 280mm option is probably the best of the bunch in terms of price-to-performance as well as how it stacks up against its competition (based on other benchmarks). This is a semi-custom Asetek solution that’s been loosely customized by Fractal Design, primarily focusing on the addition of G1/4” fittings (rad-side only), on-pump speed tuning, and an on-rad fan hub. Available in 120mm or 280mm radiator, the EVGA CLC 120/280 allows DIY professionals and overclockers to extract all the potential of their high-end processors. C-States are disabled, as is all other power saving. If we’re only setting a pump speed one time, it seems there’s probably a better solution: BIOS. Forum threads: 258,271 LED Sync that syncs with other EVGA RGB components. Let’s flood the chart with more data, but keep the Fractal Celsius coolers highlighted for ease. Fractal is competitive at around 1050RPM to 1300RPM, where it makes the best argument in terms of noise-to-cooling performance. The fan hub is Fractal’s most defining feature, given the overall impracticality of its pump toggle. Click to find out more.

Once you have everything installed you can jump on EVGAs website and download the installer. We moderate comments on a ~24~48 hour cycle. We tested using the default, out-of-box “auto” setting, which kept our pump RPM fixed nearly perfectly at ~1960 throughout the tests (liquid temperature doesn't ramp up enough to push higher). We use a bench that is more carefully crafted for noise performance, opting for a passively cooled PSU and 23% RPM 980 Ti blower fan for very low system noise. Because we use an in-house script, we are able to perfectly execute and align our tests between passes. The fittings are only on the radiator side of the cooler, with veneer fittings – fakes, basically – on the pump-side. Our test starts with a 180s idle period to gauge non-gaming performance. Unlike most other AIO water cooling kits, the EVGA CLC 280 does use software. Fractal’s maximum cooling capacity is lower than the 280mm coolers in the top 3 slots on the bench, in our testing, though fills a middle-of-the-pack performance range from 40C delta T to 36C delta T. At 1050RPM, Fractal’s S36 is able to maintain a 40C delta T load temperature alongside a 33.6dBA output. About Cookies Fan can also be swapped or customized. This ambient measurement is used to monitor fluctuations and is subtracted from absolute GPU diode readings to produce a delta value. A script automatically triggers the beginning of a CPU-intensive benchmark running Prime95 LFFTs. He recalls his first difficult decision with GN's direction: "I didn't know whether or not I wanted 'Gamers' to have a possessive apostrophe -- I mean, grammatically it should, but I didn't like it in the name.
