    Comserver Water Cooling Unit Review - Performance


    (Page 4 of 5 )

    I compared the Comserver Water Cooling Kit with its socket 478 water block against the Swiftech H20-8500, the Koolance Exos with its fans at low, and again the Exos with its fans on high.  The CPU used was an Intel Pentium IV 2.53 GHz overclocked to 3.5 GHz at 1.60 volts.

    As you can see in the graph, the Comserver kit outperforms the H20-8500 and Exos (w/ fans low), and is only slightly behind the Exos (w/ fans high).  Once we put the systems under load for an hour we start to see greater difference between the units.  The Comserver kit still performed very well, within a degree of the Exos (w/ fans low) and significantly better than the H20-8500.  I was thoroughly impressed by the Comserver's performance.  Remember, this a Pentium IV 2.53 GHz overclocked to 3.5 GHz.  This CPU does tend to get very hot, especially during a Southern California summer.
