This is a preliminary review of the Coolermaster Glacer 240L self contained liquid cooling system. The Glacer 240L is an all-in-one liquid cooling solution built around a 240mm copper heat exchanger equipped with twin 120mm fans. The large heat exchanger is intended for top-mounting in full sized gaming cases. A 420mm length of 3/8" internal diameter PVC tubing connects the integrated pump/waterblock to the radiator. The waterblock uses a skived copper base plate and incorporates a pump capable of 165L/hr, at 2.65 meters head. Coolermaster's Glacer 240L installs onto Intel socket LGA775/115x/1366/2011 and AMD socket AM2/AM3/FM1/FM2 processors. Retail price is about $140 USD / CDN. Please see coolermaster.com for the full spec sheet.

NOTE: In an effort to keep up with the increasing pace of heatsink releases and provide a timely reference to our readers, Frostytech has decided to release its heatsink test results in a preliminary review format as soon as the data is compiled. Contained within this preliminary article are the complete set of test results charts for Frostytech's 125Watt AMD, 150W & 85W Intel LGA115x/775 and 200W Intel LGA2011 synthetic thermal test platforms, acoustic measurements and a 360° pictorial overview of the thermal solution. This preliminary look at the Coolermaster Glacer 240L will be updated to the complete review at a later date.
