The NZXT Kraken Elite RGB 240 is a premium water cooler designed for high-end PC systems. It features a 2.36-inch LCD display on the pump, which can show various system metrics such as CPU, GPU, and AIO liquid temperatures. Additionally, users can customize the display with GIF images for personalization. The cooler uses a custom-designed NZXT Turbine pump, developed in collaboration with CoolIT, replacing the previous Asetek pump design. The Kraken Elite V2 (2024) series is a major update from earlier models, with changes to the fans, LCD screen, and pump system. NZXT has redesigned the radiator and pump in-house to address issues found in the first-generation Kraken Elite liquid coolers.

Approximately nine months ago, Montech launched its first AIO CPU cooler – the HyperFlow ARGB. It was available in 240mm and 360mm sizes, in black or white colour schemes and was reasonably priced at around £85 for the 360mm version. Now Montech is back with a new HyperFlow Silent which, according to Montech, has whisper-quiet performance but ditches the RGB lighting. It’s a budget AIO for the cooling purists, but does its low noise output mean performance is compromised? Let's find out.

Today, we are reviewing a 360 mm AIO cooler from the Tryx called Panorama 360. We didn’t have a chance to check any of their products from this “newbie” (they started operation in February 2023) in the market. Panorama is their first entry for PC’s, but there is also a Luca L70 chassis and the Rota Pro fans. As for the reviewed AIO, two main versions are available: Panorama ARGB and Panorama. Each has three size variants: 240 mm, 280 mm, and 360 mm (which we’re reviewing).

We're taking a look at the completely passive Cooler Master X Silent Edge power supply. It is 80 Plus Titanium rated and operates without fan, which means it is able to deliver the perfect noise-free experience, even when feeding a power hungry high-end graphics card.

The Cooler Master MasterFrame series is a groundbreaking concept. It brings interesting modularity and versatility. This approach reuses components, preserves the design's core functionality, and offers some interesting opportunities for customization.

Noctua has a reputation for having some of the best quality and performing PC fans on the market and with that, they are also known for taking all of the time needed to bring even the smallest of products to market. If it isn't perfect in their eyes, they keep working on it or scrap it altogether. Their desk fan and with it the entire Noctua Home lineup is a great example of that. They had prototypes at Computex back in 2018 and that lineup just hit shelves this year. With that, I'm excited to finally check it out. I have been running a basic USB fan on my desk 24 hours a day for 10 to 15 years, replacing a full-sized fan that would be in my office before then. But that fan does raise the base noise level in my office and I always have to turn it off anytime I'm doing any noise testing. I even toyed around with replacing it years ago when Noctua brought out their 5v lineup of fans using 3D-printed stands. Anyhow, let's get into it and see what all of Noctua Home lineup has to offer and see how their new fan performs.

Noctua and Seasonic today presented the Seasonic PRIME TX-1600 Noctua Edition ATX 3.1 PC power supply. Taking Seasonic’s state-of-the-art 1600W flagship model as a basis, the Noctua Edition utilises Noctua’s award-winning NF-A12x25 fan as well as a custom engineered fan grill for even quieter operation. As such, the Seasonic PRIME TX-1600 Noctua Edition is a premium choice for ultra-quiet workstations or gaming PCs that require uncompromising power delivery.

“We’re thrilled and honoured to present the first Noctua Edition power supply in collaboration with Seasonic, a manufacturer we greatly respect both for its unwavering commitment to quality and for staying at the forefront of PC power supply innovation for more than 40 years”, says Roland Mossig (Noctua CEO). “Combining Seasonic’s massive expertise in PSUs with our quiet cooling technology and experience in acoustic optimisation gives customers the best of both worlds: A state-of-the-art 1600W power supply that runs supremely quiet.”

The ARCTIC P12 PWM is a fan that needs no introductions, yet has been a missing part of our fan reviews till today. We test the PST version, which offers daisy-chaining support in addition to a long RPM range of control, a zero RPM mode, long warranty, and is quite possibly one of the best value case fans too.

Alphacool shook up the DIY watercooling market with its Core 1 series of CPU blocks, and aims to do so again with its flagship Apex 1 lineup. These feature an intricate design both inside and out, with the goal of delivering top-class performance and eliminating wasted heat in the process.

Looking for a cooler that’s quiet and packs a punch? The be quiet! Light Loop 360 delivers top-notch performance, sleek ARGB lighting, and solid build quality. Meanwhile, its serviceability and low noise levels during most workloads make it a standout option in the hyper-competitive all-in-one liquid cooler market.

The Team Group AirFlow I SSD Cooler offers a powerful solution for managing the heat output of M.2 SSDs. It comes with a large cooling stack and two heatpipes. Testing in our review confirms that it is able to completely avoid throttling on the most powerful 14 GB/s Gen 5 drives.

Today we examine ARCTIC's P12 PWM PST A-RGB 120 mm fans, which offer daisy-chaining support, 12 individually addressable RGB LEDs with universal connectors, a long and linear RPM range with zero-RPM mode, long warranty, and decent performance coupled with low noise to be good value cooling solutions.

Ocypus might be new to the DIY PC market, but they’re ready to compete. Their Iota L36 all-in-one liquid cooler not only offers impressive performance, sleek aesthetics, and a great warranty, but it’s also affordable, making it a potent combination with which to topple their competition.

The be quiet Light Base 900 DX provides three different layouts, with 172 beautifully embedded ARGB LEDs around three sides of the chassis. That alone should make it worthwhile to look into if illumination is your jam - especially if you want massive radiators and plenty of ARGB fans. Besides that, the Light Base 900 DX also provides plenty of interesting functionality for a unique build experience.

It may look great, be inaudible even at heavy load and retail for less than most other AIO models currently but the Liquid Freezer III 360 A-RGB by ARCTIC just doesn’t deliver the cooling efficiency needed to surpass the competition.

Combining excellent cooling efficiency with a very tempting price tag the HyperFlow 360 ARGB AIO liquid CPU cooler by Montech has very little competition currently.

Both the NH-L12Sx77 and the NH-L9x65 chromax.black are great choices for people looking to build small and silent HTPC type systems.

 Even though it was released back in 2023 thanks to its cooling efficiency, low noise levels and looks the MasterLiquid 360 Atmos AIO Liquid CPU Cooler by Cooler Master is still a fine choice.

We have reviewed many power supplies from Seasonic in recent years but today we look at a rather special model in partnership with Noctua. This ‘Noctua Edition' power supply is based around one of the most expensive products that Seasonic make, and Noctua claim that this unit is quieter than the original unit which we tested some time ago.

The Power Zone 2 by be quiet! is an ATX 3.1 compatible power supply that has been developed for efficient operation under a variety of load conditions. Initially released in 1000W, 850W, and 750W models, this review focuses on the 1000W variant. Despite its non-professional origin, the Power Zone 2 carries an 80Plus Titanium certification, indicating one of the highest efficiency levels available. The unit is equipped with a 600W  90° angled 12V-2x6 and PCIe 5.1/ATX 3.1 connector, designed to support demanding graphics cards.
