Modular Or RGB AIO?
Modular Or RGB AIO?
Well, I'll give the above a solid nod.
While Fractal's Kelvin (created by alphacool) isn't quite as flashy as Kraken (by asetek), Swiftech and EK stand out significantly.
Swiftech's H220 or H240 models include some impressive features. I suppose status is even more important.
And the costs... NZXT really shines in comparison, matching prices that would match Hyundai's asking for 100K on a Sonata/i40.
Well, I'm almost going to agree with what you're saying.
While Fractal's Kelvin (created by alphacool) isn't as flashy as Kraken (made by asetek), Swiftech and EK stand out significantly.
Swiftech's H220 or H240 models include some impressive features. I think the sense of prestige really adds value.
And the pricing... NZXT is definitely in a higher range compared to others. It's like if Hyundai were asking for 100K for their Sonata/i40.
Why not opt for Kelvin and the RGB fan? EK XLC Predator and Swiftech H series provide superior pump performance (higher flowrate and better liquid static pressure head) and potentially improved radiator efficiency. I don’t know if Kelvin is sourced from Alphacool, but if it is, Kelvin’s pump might outlast the Kraken model.
If you value the visual impact of RGB lighting, go for it. Kelvin offers flexibility—different tube setups and fans can be used, though results won’t match Kraken. With a bit of creativity, you can use nickel-plated tubes, borosilicate glass, PETG, and add color dye or UV additives to enhance the look.
