Cooler Master Seidon 120M Liquid CPU Cooler
Today we are going to be looking at a new AIO/CL CPU Liquid Cooler unit. Just in case you don't know these termes, AIO stands for "All in One" and "CL" for "Closed Loop." These conventions have become rather popular over the last few years in the PC world. With the latest technology advancements in water cooling, it has become much easier for consumers to water cool their PCs with these AIO CPU Liquid Cooling units. The design takes the guess work out. With water cooling kits in the past, it could take countless hours of planning, and assembly could become a headache for those that have no experience. However, recently we have seen a change with the new trend in water cooling. We have started to see these AIO and CL coolers show up from several manufactures. Today we are going to take a look at a new-comer in the AIO CPU Liquid Cooler field. It is a device from Cooler Master called the Seidon 120m Liquid CPU Cooler.While we have seen multiple manufactures with a similar designs, Cooler Master really stepped up to the plate in trying to provide something a little different and competitive. As we move forward in this review we will take a look at how the Cooler Master Seidon 120M Liquid CPU Cooler stacks ups and how Cooler Master's design sets them apart. Before we move forward let's get to know Cooler Master a little better.

Re: Cooler Master Seidon 120M Liquid CPU Cooler
Good review Kenny, the price should be $69.99, which is still a great deal for the 120M, the price should be fixed shortly.

Re: Cooler Master Seidon 120M Liquid CPU Cooler
Kenny, it's very possible that they may have screwed up and posted the wrong price. The cooler was just released, so I very much doubt that CM would have approved a sale within the first couple of weeks

Re: Cooler Master Seidon 120M Liquid CPU Cooler
its not loud, but noticeable, However since I used a test bench its was audioable to me until the fan started to pick up speed once the CPU when into load then you can't hear it..
The sound is similar to allot of AIO units you find in todays markets. I thought it was air at first, but after tilting it in all directions to see if I can get the air out, it wasn't it. Once Installed in a case I don't think you will even here it... but mentioned it as it was really the only neg. I found with the unit.

Re: Cooler Master Seidon 120M Liquid CPU Cooler
We are going to get to the bottom of the clicking noise Kenny heard, we should post an update within the next 4-6 weeks, maybe sooner.
Thanks
