Value -
The Seidon is around $55.00 from most online stores. This makes it quite a bit less expensive than many all-in-one coolers out there. For this amount of money we would not have expected the high-quality build and specs. Normally at this price level things can become a little flimsy while the performance also drops considerably. Considering the performance that we saw from the Seidon $55 is a great value and one that we can get behind.
Conclusion -
The Seidon was not the best all-in-one we have ever tested; it was not even the second best. However it is the best all-in-one we have tested at the price point it is at. We have yet to see a cooling system like this for under $80 that can maintain decent performance when pushing an overclocked top-end CPU. We were pleasantly surprised to see the temps that we did from the Seidon. We do think that Cooler Master has some room for improvement; they could have added a copper radiator to increase the thermal dissipation and also included better thermal interface material for use in mounting this on your CPU. Perhaps in future models Cooler Master will add in liquid metal and a copper radiator as an “enthusiast” option. If they did the Seidon would be one amazing product. As it stands we are still able to recommend it to any of you that are interested in adding water cooling into your rig, but do not want to build it piece by piece. In fact the Seidon is good enough to earn our Silver Key award for its build quality, price and performance.
