The pump is rated at 4000 RPM and uses a ceramic bearing type, but it lacks PWM speed control which is a major downside versus (more expensive) Asetek competitors. Fractal makes reasonable effort to allow a user to hide the 4-pin power cable with routing slots on both radiator side walls. This is likely a design decision intended as to not infringe upon the Asetek patents. One interesting design feature is the positioning of the powered pump within the radiator fin array. Low-permeability rubber with a braided nylon sleeve are used to provide function and form. Fractal Design Celsius S36 360mm Silent High Performance Slim Expandable All-In-One CPU Liquid / Water Cooler, LGA 1700 Compatible 3 Fan Slots (120 mm) 2 Fan. Fin density is what I would describe as standard and the colour is obviously a deep, consistent black.Įmerging from the radiator are the cooler’s pair of 400mm-long liquid tubes. This comes as little surprise as it is basically the go-to option for off-the-shelf AIO liquid coolers from the major OEMs. KitGuru says: Offering strong cooling performance, reasonable noise levels, and an attractive RGB lighting system for £112.99, the 360mm Fractal Lumen S36 RGB feels like a very good buy.Looking at the radiator, it is a conventional 27mm thick aluminium design. The rotatable block cover is good, but the one-sided connection cable dampens the experience.Daisy-chained cables are excessively long and messy – plus, braided would have been preferable. Celsius+ takes AIO water cooling to a new level with an ARGB-accented pump face, a fully redesigned block and.
And with the noise locked at 40dBA, the Aspect 12 RGB PWM fans proved their worth by projecting the Lumen S36 RGB to a minor victory over the Phanteks Asetek-built unit. Shipping in 360mm format and based around the Apaltek 3rd Gen liquid cooling design, we were hoping for solid performance from the offset and that is just what we got.įractal's AIO with 3x120mm 2000 RPM fans was just a smidgen behind the more expensive Asetek 3x120mm 2200 RPM Phanteks cooler. That is exactly what the Fractal Lumen S36 RGB achieves!
