A Closer Look

When it comes to the radiator, there isn't a whole lot that sets it apart from others, as it looks pretty much the same as what you would see on most all-in-one liquid coolers. The black design is simple and unadorned, with the fins-per-inch (FPI) sitting at 21, which is roughly comparable to most other liquid coolers. The tubing has black braided nylon sleeving and measures 465 mm in length. Overall it looks nice, without any standout visual elements.


The pump block is where ID-Cooling spent most of its time in regard to design. Not only does the pump feature an integrated ARGB fan, but it also has an aluminum top cover to improve the overall aesthetics and functionality. In essence, it gives users a visual focal point with some added venting to help direct the fan's airflow toward the motherboard VRM, system memory, and the primary M.2 SSD. As for the swivel fittings, they offer a good range of motion thanks to adequate spacing, and while the wiring is between the tubing, it sits low enough not to be an issue in regards to the overall range of motion. When it comes to the copper base, the machining marks are visible but cannot be felt; on top of that, the cold copper plate is only slightly convex on my unit, but it was consistent all the way around. I didn't notice any oddities in that regard.


Regarding the fans, ID-Cooling is using a new design: KF-12025-ARGB. These fans feature an RPM range of 900–2000 and feature a solid interior metal frame. The metal inside helps reflect the ARGB lighting improving visuals, and it just looks pretty cool compared to generic plastic. What is more important is the fact that ID-Cooling includes a 4th fan for use as a case fan so your ARGB-equipped build can be more uniform and thus look its absolute best.
