Fractal Design Celsius S24 & S36 AIO Review

[AngryGoldfish]

I'm kind of surprised Fractal have released a new version so soon, but I really like the new aesthetics. I'm surprised they aren't using Venturi fans, but whatever.

They probably went for the looks of the white Dynamic fans. Every other brand has black fans. Or gray from Corsair. To this day i still don't know why there are no white Venturi fans.

As far as I remember the EVGA cooler-fans where problematic, since a lot of the wind is blown sidewards at low rpms. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5p2rkH4G-hs

The Venturi and Dynamics are almost identical other than colour and the Venturi have sound dampeners on the corners.

Yup and therein lies the problem. They are all paid by their master, so who can you truly trust?

It's kind of ironic, 'cause one of Nexus's videos is Buildzoid doing a teardown on the EVGA and saying how it's completely over engineered for the voltage you can actually put through the core.

I don't like Nexus any way. That hairy bloke is about as ham fisted and messy as it gets. His teardown of the NZXT cooler made me cringe. He cut through a connecting wire when all he had to do was unscrew the bottom PCB. It was like two screws.

Then moved onto mangling every screw in the block.. Jesus, mercy.. I had to stop there.

Paid by their masters? I think that's a bit harsh. Both have done excellent reviewing in the past, but both needs to make a living just like TTL. Even TTL is sponsored at some level, but that doesn't make his reviews more legitimate than Jayz or Gamer Nexus.

What you're saying there is actually rather hateful. If you don't like them, don't watch them.

I don't watch either. Well, JayZ or Gamer Nexus. Unless a mate links a video to me.

TTL is aware of my views on reviewing and has been since I first joined here many years ago. As reviewers go? Tom is about as truthful as it gets and I respect that. He's ruffled plenty of feathers in his time (with crap Kingston memory and salmon coloured EVGA boards etc) so yeah, I trust him the most.

And yes, paid by their masters. If they were not paid they would not be able to make it full time. So they are basically being paid in ways by the industry they are reviewing for. Don't you find that in the least bit suspicious?

Has anyone picked up the Celsius S36? I'm curious to your experience with how it cools etc. For now I'm happy with my H105 because of the thicker rad, however if I'll be in the market for a new one at some point a 360mm rad is appealing!

In the real world it will probably mean slightly lower fans speeds at the same temps

No real noticeable difference then, good to know, thanks Tom

You can get it lower yes - but youll be funning fast(er) fans

You can lower temps - if it was me though Id be hoping for lower noise

Its worth noting I run a 360mm AIO in my desktop rig

Sorry if I missed it, but were these tests done with the pump/fan set to Auto or PWM on the unit?

This (bold), that's what I'd be after as well.
