Value & Conclusion

  • The iCEAGE 120 should retail for around 45 to 50 USD.
  • Excellent performance
  • Quality
  • 120mm Fan with fan controller
  • Quiet
  • Compatible with all current CPUs
  • Easy to install and no need to remove the M/B
  • Tends to vibrate on full speed
  • Base not entirely smooth due to DTH
  • Large size
  • Cooler can be moved easily when mounted
The 3R System iCEAGE performed very well and that's the main thing. It seems the new Direct Touch Heatpipes do make a noticeable difference in performance. During all testing the iCEAGE performed better than the compared coolers and was quiet in its operation. At full speed the cooler did have a bit of vibration and the mounting clip could be made to secure the cooler better. The LEDs in the fan in my opinion are a little annoying, but a lot of people love lights in their case so it just comes down to personal preference. All of the "Thumbs Down" things I listed were just little things I was nit picking at. When it comes to shear performance of this cooler, it's very good. Even at low speed, the iCEAGE was performing well, and of course even better at full speed. The noise of cooler wasn't loud at high speeds, and also produced lots of air flow within the case for extra cooling. The price of the cooler is expected to be around 50 USD at most, which in my eyes isn't too bad at all considering the performance the cooler can give. I was overall very pleased with the iCEAGE from 3R System.
