"High price" under cons. "Affordable" in the summary.
It states the Swiftech H240-X on the top of the pros/cons list as well.
But I think it's "affordable" in terms of AIO, but "high" compared to air coolers in the end of the 2nd paragraph.
Thanks fixed the error on the conclusion.
Aslo Correct it a $100+ cooler that is expensive. However for a fully upgradeable G1/4 fitting unit its affordable. The Swiftech units require adapters to be fully G1/4 due to the design. So the Fractal is more affordable while being off the shelf compatible with standard fittings.
"The Swiftech H240-X has an MSRP of 119.99." was this not a test of Fractal Design Kelvin S24?
Also, giving the temps bu not the noise (dB) or a rpm reading makes the temp page useless, as the performance of a cooling solution usually have a lot to do with how much noise it generates.
I get that taking a db mesurment with a full system migth not be doable, but just getting a RPM reading would let user extrapolate the noise since we have a db/rpm comaprison on the next page.
As an example, a solution that runs the fans on full tilt the hole time, but lets you adjust the RPM with software will have a good chance of getting a good result in the temp test, and if fitted with fans that go very low in rpm on low voltages/ low % PWM will give a good looking result in the nose/ fan speed test.
So PLEASE give the RPM that the cooling solution is operating under at the temp pages, otherwise the test are useless in my mind.
If you read the Test Page it tells you all coolers are tested at 100% fan speed settings aka the cooling in the charts is the maximum cooling potential.
Quoted from the Test System and Temperature Results page:
Testing Procedure
All testing is done at a room temperature of 23°C (73°F) with a 1°C margin of error. The coolers are tested with Turbo, EIST, and C1E enabled, which will allow the CPU to clock down to a low 1.6 GHz while idle, or clock up to proper speeds under stock and overclocked conditions. The retail Intel Core i7-4770K I use for testing at stock is set to load-optimized defaults with the CPU's voltage at a static 1.15 V. Overclocked, the processor is running at 4.2 GHz on the CPU and 3.9 GHz on cache, with respective voltages set to 1.20 V and 1.15 V.
During all these tests, fans are set to run at 100% in the BIOS, with temperatures being recorded by AIDA64.
The idle test will consist of the CPU sitting idle at the desktop for 15 minutes. This will allow for a stable temperature reading that will be recorded at the end of those 15 minutes.
Wprime's and AIDA64's CPU test represent typical multi-threaded loads. Both offer consistent results, with one being a benchmarking application and the other a stability test. Both are run for 15 minutes before the peak reading during the test is recorded and taken as the result. This test lets enthusiasts know what temperatures they can expect to see with games and applications. Wprime is set to eight threads while AIDA64 is configured to stress the CPU, FPU, cache, and system memory.
