Cooler Master Eisberg 240 Prestige Review

Conclusion
| General | + | - | |
| Cooler Master is leaving us with mixed feelings when it comes to their Eisberg 240L Prestige all-in-one watercooler. On one hand you have the cooling performance which is excellent, no doubt. On the other hand there is the pump and its rattling noise which is just unbearable. An all-in-one watercooler that goes for more than 150 Euros (est. CHF 180.-), should definitely be equipped with a pump that's close to inaudible, otherwise it's just not worth additional bucks. While testing this product we got the feeling, that it's not yet finished. It might have been a wise descision to postpone the launch date for this product and optimize certain parts until they work absolutely perfetct. | - Cooling capacity | - Pump is loud | |
| Installation | + | - | |
| The installation process is very easy and there are very few cooler which are easier to install. In fact we can only remember the Enermax all-in-one watercooler which is as easy to install as the Eisberg. Mounting this cooler really is piece of cake and we think even to a beginner this is self explanatory. | - Super easy - Compatible with Intel and AMD sockets | ||
| Performance | + | - | |
| During our tests we used the Cooler Master fans, which were included in delivery. If you drive these 120 millimeter fans at 7 Volt they are silent and at 12 Volt (1'600 rpm) they can be described as well audible. A closer look at the test results shows that the Eisberg 240L Prestige has been able to reach the first place in both our comparison charts. | - Excellent cooling capacity | - Fans loud at 1'600 rpm | |
| Recommendation | + | - | |
| If you don't care about the noise level of your setup and cooling performance is the only important thing to you, then the Eisberg 240L Prestige could really be the right thing for you. On the other hand, if you prefer to have a silent setup, then you'd have to go for another solution. |
