ID-Cooling SE-914-XT Basic CPU Cooler Review

Mike Sanders / 4 years ago

We know for a fact that despite many manufacturers being seemingly hell-bent on strapping RGB lighting onto anything it can conceivably fit on, there are still many PC hardware consumers out there that just want a clean, inexpensive, and perfectly adequate product. Something that allows the aesthetics and design to speak for itself without a light show akin to the 4th of July. – Well, with the launch of the SE-914-XT Basic, if you are one of those people, then ID-Cooling might just have the perfect solution for you!

We should probably start by clarifying what ‘basic’ means, and yes, this is the term directly used by ID-Cooling for this product rather than one we have applied to it. So, what does it mean? – Well, in a nutshell, the ‘basic’ is the non-ARGB version of the SE-914-XT. It has no lighting and that about sums it up in a sentence.

Despite the lack of RGB effects, however, ID-Cooling has still clearly gone to some lengths to make this not only an exceptionally affordable design but also one that packs plenty of performance punch while still giving consumers a clean and crisp aesthetic that would undoubtedly suit the vast majority of systems. Just to highlight the point we made above again, RGB lighting is certainly not beloved by all!
