Fractal Design Kelvin T12 Expandable Pre-Filled CPU Water Cooler Review

Performance
With stock clocks, the T12 excels, offering up some very low temperatures in both idle and load scenarios.
Putting the heat on our CPU with our overclocks certainly proved tricky for the T12, these are good temperatures, but they’re not as cool as I was hoping for and that may be due to the focus on silent performance.
The fans at stock temps were running nice and quiet and even more so, the pump is quiet as a mouse, something that can’t be said for a lot of AIO coolers these days.
Nothing amazing here, but acoustics are on par with most other dual-fan AIO coolers, and still quiet enough to not hear it once installed in a chassis. If anything, I would say there’s scope to up your fan profile to get more cooling performance at the cost of a little more noise, but that defeats some of the purpose of buying a unit that is designed to be quiet.
