Before we make any final conclusions about the efficiency of Cooler Master Aquagate S1 system, let’s recall how efficient the previous model, Aquagate VIVA, was. If you read our review, you should remember, that this system lost about 9ºC to Co...
Abstract: Video Review: Many people are intimated by water cooling because they don't want liquid spilling all over their hardware components. This is a concern, especially if you are piecing together a water cooling system yourself. If you chose to do that, you have to be 100% sure that it's not going to leak. This is not so much of a concern with the Cooler Master Aquagate S1 Water Cooling System because everything is pre-connected. This kit does perform reasonable well, it's affordable and installation is extremely simple. The only pitfall to this kit is the small pump which makes an annoying loud buzzing sound. Watch the video to find out more and check out the bloopers at the end.

Cooler Master has definitely made it easy to get into watercooling with the Aquagate S1. With everything ready to go out of the box, its as easy to install as a typical air cooled heatsink and still manages to keep an overclocked processor cool. The...

I can safely say that my first experience with water cooling has been a pleasant one. Cooler Masters Aquagate S1 performs admirably and is very quiet, thanks to the fan controller. Installation is easy and the build quality is excellent as we have com...

When I started the system up for the first time after the install, I could hear a distinct rush of liquid through the system. When I checked the system temperatures after a bit of time to allow the system to stabilize, I was pleasantly surprised that...
