Captain - 17 years of DIY experience uncle's water-cooling first taste

From the beginning of the installation of its own first computer in 1999, it has always been the use of a safe and secure air-cooling, from the original Intel Pentium III 450 fans to AVC Napoleon to transform the Transformers, especially the Transformers, the king of the air-cooled Has not been willing to change. There were numerous attempts to try water-cooling on the way. However, the previous water-cooling system was one of its own transformation. It was a worrying security and had seen too many cases of leaking water and shoveling home. So this water-cooled complex has always been hidden in the heart. With the age of 30 in this pit, with a little time and effort, he also fooled a new host as a small end of his career. With more and more choices for the CPU water cooling in the market, it is becoming safer and safer. This time, it will no longer consider air cooling and try a handful of water cooling. Pick and choose, and finally chose the 240EX of the Fengshen Captain, whose face value and RMB are relatively balanced.


The first CPU that was bought in July 1999, the Pentium III 450, still remembers the 2450RMB when it was bought in July. I really don't know why Dad was so generous and gave him so much money to buy a computer. At that time, the configuration was still vivid: P3 450+P3B-F+64MB SDRAM+Leader WINFAST S320+YAMAHA 724+ Original 40X CDROM (reading immediately on the fly) + Quantum Fireball Cr 6.4G+SONY 1.44MB FLOPPY

The original fan of that time was very resistant to operation. I was impressed to sell it, and it was not bad!

The Pentium III 450 and ASUS P3B-F motherboards have experienced upgrades that have never been remembered for countless times. After working out, they became the E6600, and the CPU fan also changed to the HP version of AVC Napoleon.

Luxury does not believe that he actually spent 299 to get started Transformers.

And then later upgraded to E3 1230, this air-cooled king has been accompanied me, unique shape and super compatibility, so far he still put it down, keep in the second machine for five years is no problem.

In advance studied a lot of integrated CPU water cooling program, from the ID COOLING to the thieves, each has its own advantages, but feel that it is not too cheap and do not trust, not too expensive to hand, and finally to the captain 240EX, feel all aspects Satisfied, it will be finalized.

In the simpler box, the so-called "reactor" breathing light of the cold head was one of the important factors that impressed me.

The back size photo flashes past. Supporting the 2011-V3 CPU, there will be room for upgrade in the future.

The side is marked with a white version. I personally dislike the pure white thing. The black and white panda color is just right for my appetite.

A few hands and feet to open the packaging, eggshell green paper tray stuck all the accessories, have a separate PP bag packaging, not afraid of grinding body.

Standard 0.12A powerless fan, 3P connector, fortunately can use FAN HUB to speed, no LED lights a little small disappointment.

FAN HUB can use the PWM signal of the main board to control the fan speed of the cold row.

FAN HUB is real and supports 4 fan outputs. The HUB has a double-sided tape that can hide the HUB and make it more beautiful.

Pure white cold row, a little higher than copper or black. The 240's size compatibility is much better and it is perfectly compatible with the bear chassis I chose.

Cold head close-up, not light up and feel nothing special.

GAMER STORM LOGO on the side, completely invisible after installation.

Photo, cheese!

Braided pipe is not hard, and it can be bent inside the chassis.

Screw accessories and base. All of them are dedicated. If they are lost, they are more troublesome.

Although it took more than 10 years to complete the machine, it is better to look at the manual and reload it.

The exit of private artifacts, digital home S2 screwdriver, all aluminum material, very easy to use. It does not remember that it was only 90 blocks less than the Nanqi.

Easily put the fan to the cold row, a little feeling of budding, if the front of the fan if there is a logo, it will be more character.

Close-up of the base, 6-point stud design is very popular, not only is very stable, but also very easy to install

If the metal base is perfect

Ancient times 1366 also supported. .

2450 ocean 6700K, and my first CPU actually the same price, God ah!

From 450MHz to 4000MHz in that year, 9 times of arrogance. The overclocking goal is 4500MHz, which is an integer of 10 times!

ASUS Z170-A is another cycle.

Special large cover, black and white color, uniform style.

CPU on the emperor

The base is easy to pick up

Hand-screw the screw, the insulation sticker is facing the PCB on this side to avoid too much force to grind the PCB

This screw is very interesting, the first half is silky, a slight turn on the half of the stud, will stop, and the rest slowly tightened to the PCB.

Close-up on the stud, screwed up and feels good

After screwing up the studs, it's time to think about the cold water pipe coming out from there. I chose from the memory side.

The space is very spare, not afraid of files to memory, much simpler than the Transformers big ones.

After installing the motherboard into the chassis, it is highly recommended that the carrier be installed before it is placed in the chassis. Otherwise, you will feel sad.

The top of the bear chassis is equipped with two white LED fans on the top, and you can remove 240 cold rows

There are raised mounting slots, but this design feels less than atmospheric and can increase the height of the box.

Installed with the standard screws, can not use the expansion of the chassis self-tapping screws, will destroy the cold row, so we must not lose the captain's original screws.

After installing the effect is not bad, the chassis is still a little short, the space is barely enough, a little bit top to the motherboard's heat sink.

The cold head is back in place, the installation process is very simple and it does not take effort, but the water pipe is a bit ugly

Look at another perspective, who share the experience of plumbing how to look good? ?

The water pipe feels worse

The price is very good, but a little bit of a red Chichi large steel teeth memory.

Installed, the FAN HUB is hidden in the red box, but the double-sided tape is not very strong and is easy to fall off. After locking it up with a cable tie, it's okay.

Turn off the lights to try out the effect, have to say that Sotec's 1080 PGF is really very bright, especially the lighted backplane, bright blinking. In Sotec's Firestorm, it was turned into white light and the style was uniform.

Relatively speaking, the captain's breathing white light is more low-key and calmer.

From another perspective, it is still satisfactory.

Run for some time to observe, then try overclocking

26 room temperature, standby less than 40, water cooling can indeed, mainly low speed, almost no sound.

First with a light baking machine-Stress CPU, the maximum temperature is less than 55. Very good, the noise is very small!

Detailed temperature information for the roasting machine.

Hell mode - Stress FPU, the temperature is much more horrible, to 70 +, but the temperature of each nuclear is very different, do not know what the reason.

CORE 3's temperature has always been the highest, strange.

When you have time to study OC, this captain EX240 is indeed convenient to install, eliminating the DIY cold heads, water pipes, and cold row choices. It is simply a lazy gospel; the reactor's special shaped breathing light is also Very appetite; return to the cooling capacity, the temperature is not high in daily use and games, very low use of noise is almost negligible. Simple installation and integrated security are much better than DIY, and the white light pollution brought by side-by-side chassis is also very good.

The next step is to toss overclocking, first plan to see how to set the Z170, hope this 7600K gas point, do not encounter thunder. Good saddle with good horse, every time you see me update it may be sharing after OC!
