Konklusion
Coolermaster Seidon 120XL er en køler med nyt at byde på, Coolermasters eget pumpeenhed samt en lidt smartere bagplade til montering af køleren. Dette opvejes dog af manglende ydelse i forhold til eksisterende produkter. Har du i forvejen andet Coolermaster udstyr som kabinet o.lign. passer Coolermasters Seidon 120XL sikkert rigtigt godt ind i dit system.
Innovation/Teknologi - 3
Coolermaster har valgt selv at designe deres pumpeenhed. Den byder dog ikke umiddelbart på noget nyt, eftersom både mikrofinne teknologi samt indbygget pumpe i køleblokken er set før. Teknologien er dog stadigt noget af det nyeste indenfor all-in-one systemer og er brugt i langt de fleste high-end all-in-one systemer.
Bundle/Tilbehør - 3
Monteringsgrej, kølepasta samt manualer medfølger til systemet samt to af Coolermasters egne blæsere og dertilhørende vibrationsdæmpere, et ganske udemærket bundle.
Design/Layout - 4
Køleren byder på en tyk 38mm radiator og to kraftfulde blæsere. Coolermaster har desuden designet deres egen pumpeenhed som passer rigtigt godt til mange af deres øvrige produkter, hvilket kan gøre ens system lidt mere komplet hvis man i forvejen ejer et af Coolermasters kabineter. Systemet er selvfølgeligt også vedligeholdelsesfrit og med garanti i to år. Det er dog et minus at der er brugt de stive FEP slanger samt at Coolermaster har lavet en "design-fejl" som den prop der er på kølerens radiator.
Ydelse - 2
Ikke ligefrem den ydelse jeg havde håbet på, især taget når man husker på at køleren er nylanceret og stadigt ikke klarer sig imod Antecs ældrende Kühler 920 V3 model. Ydelsen er dog stadig nok til at overhale de mindre kølere hvilket også havde været utroligt skidt andet.
Pris - 2
Taget ydelsen i betragtning er der ikke meget vundet ved at købe Coolermasters Seidon 120XL medmindre du ønsker at fuldende dit Coolermaster system. Prisen for en Corsair H80i eller en Antec Kühler 920 V4 for omtrent det samme som Coolermasters Seidon 120XL står til i dag.
UK summary
Coolermaster Seidon 120XL is a cooler with new to offer, Coolermasters own pump-unit along with a more clever backplate. This however is outweighed by lack of performance when compared to existing products. Do you have a Coolermaster case or anything similar already the Coolermaster Seidon 120XL will surely fit into you systems design.
Innovation/Technology - 3
Coolermaster have chosen to design their own pump-unit. It doesn't really offer anything new at though as both microfin technology along with a built-in pump in the CPU-block is seen before. The technology is however still some of the newest in all-in-one systems and is used in most high-end all-in-one systems.
Bundle/Accessories - 3
Mountingkits, thermal paste and manuals for the system along with two of Coolermasters own fans and accompanying vibrationdampeners, quite a good bundle.
Design/Layout - 4
The cooler offers a thick 38mm radiator and two powerful fans. Coolermaster have also designed their own pump-unit which fits really well with a lot of their additional products, which can make ones system a little more complete if you own one of Coolermasters cases in advance. The system is of course maintainance free and with two years of warranty. It is however a minus that the stiff FEP tubing have been used as well as Coolermaster making a "design-error" with the stopper on the radiator.
Performance - 2
Not exactly the performance I had hoped for, especially when taking into consideration that the cooler is newly launched and still can not compete with Antecs older Kühler 920 V3 model. The performance is still good enough to beat the smaller coolers which would also have been pretty bad otherwise.
Price - 2
Taken performance into account there is not much won by buying the Coolermaster Seidon 120XL unless you want to complete your Coolermaster system. The price for a Corsair H80i or a Antec Kühler 920 V4 is about the same as that of the Coolermaster Seidon 120XL as of today.
