The fan speed is variable depending on system temperatures. This allows for the highest cooling performance, while making our systems ultra-silent. We recommend:
- 120 mm 1" thick pre-sealed Liquid Cooling for maintenance-free operation, easy upgradability, configurations with up to three graphics card
- 120 mm 1.5" thick pre-sealed Liquid Cooling for maintenance-free operation, easy upgradability, configurations with up to three graphics cards, recommended for i7 CPUs
- 240 mm 1" thick pre-sealed Liquid Cooling for maintenance-free operation, easy upgradability, configurations with up to two graphics cards, recommended for i7 CPUs
- LEET Custom Liquid Cooling for ultimate silent operation, aesthetics, configurations with up to two graphics cards
Our custom liquid cooling solution was developed with Swiftech, leading manufacturer for advanced cooling components. It comprises a combined pump/CPU block and custom single- & dual-radiators with integrated reservoir.
