Fractal Design Kelvin S36 360mm Liquid CPU Cooler Review

For temperature tests we loaded the system for 10 minutes using Prime 95 and recorded the CPU temperature using CPUID HWMonitor.  We then restarted the system and left it idling at the desktop for 10 minutes before recording temperatures. The temperatures recorded are based on an ambient temperature of 20 degrees C.

It is quite clear from the graphs above that the Kelvin S36 offers absolutely excellent performance.  It is only outperformed by the Raijintek Triton with its fans at full speed, although noise levels are close to unbearable. In contrast, the Kelvin S36 is very quiet in operation and would be easy to live with on a daily basis.
