Cooler Master Seidon 120M All-in-One Water Cooler Review - The Box and Goodies

seidon-intro

Although all-in-one water cooling systems are nothing new, their rise in popularity is something very recent. We have watched as multiple companies have launched products designed bring “enthusiast” level cooling to the masses. This type of move is also nothing new as we have watched it happen with RAID, SLI, and many other items that were once only for gamers and other computer enthusiasts Still what many do not know is that most of these companies all buy their parts from the same place; Asetek. This company makes great water cooling products and they resell the pieces to others. Now, while that represents most of the market there are some that still build their own; one of these is Cooler Master. Back at CES 2011 we were allowed to see a prototype water cooling unit and we knew that they were looking to do something very different. Now in last months of 2012 Cooler Master has released their work. Today we will be taking a look at the Seidon 120M all-in-one water cooling unit to see if all of Cooler Master’s hard work has paid off.

The Box and Goodies -
The box that Cooler Master has put the Seidon is a nice looking it combines Cooler Master’s Purple, the Silver for their 20th anniversary and black. Overall the effect is good. On the front you have an artistic picture of the Seidon’s cooling head and in the background you can see the cooling fins. The head is there to make sure you know that you are not getting another Asetek rebrand with the Seidon, but are getting something new.
01
On the back of the box, as if to enhance the impression that this is Cooler Master’s own design there is a technical drawing and specifications laid out as if you were looking at the original designs. It is a subtle but impressive effect.
02
After you are finished marveling at the box you will find that Cooler Master has included everything you need to mount the Seidon on just about any consumer CPU you can think of, even back to the LGA 775 socket. Our video below shows you all of this in more detail and also shows you how to mount the Seidon to an Intel LGA 2011 socket. Overall we are impressed with things so far.
