Today at Computex Fractal Design have shown off their all new Kelvin Series of AIO water coolers.
Fractal here have teamed up with the guys over at Alphacool to provide a radiator which is firstly, all copper and secondly has G1/4" threads for expandabilty, which is something new for an AIO with such a small pump.
As said before series of water cooling products named Kelvin, and three products have been named and shown here; the S36 , the S24 and the T12.
This naming scheme is easily the most logically named series of AIO watercoolers on the market with the S and T noting whether slim or Thick Radiator or used in the product and the 12, 24 and 36 are simply the size of the radiator in Centimeters.
The T12 and S24 both come with two fans, while the S36 will come with three fans. Fractal will be using thir own Silent Series HP 120 fans for each of the radiators.
The Pump will fit onto any of todays CPU sockets, with the exception of the AMD AM1 socket but seriously who wnats to water cool Kabini?
Fractal say here that they are opting for silence and expandability with these units, so lets hope that pump hold up to those standards.
Fractal say they are using a Alphacool DC-LT, creaming bearing bump with a speed of 2400 RPM pushing 72 L/H of water ad just 25dB.
Alphacool have clearly had their input here with the all copper radiator design and expandability with G1/4" threads. This is in contrast to the many fixed units form the likes of Asetek and others.
The only fault i can really find with these units are the use of those anti-kink coils on the tubing, but that is a matter of personal preference. As I have said many times we can change the tubing anytime we want really if it came if that, thanks to those G1/4" threads, then again that would be a lot of effort for the users for the purely visual gain.
Frqctal say that these units will cost around $99.99 for T12, $119.99 for the S24 and $139.99 for S36, with a release date soon but unspecified.
