Overview

We’re very impressed with the new custom loop water cooling hardware from Raijintek, and given that the custom cooling market is so competitive these days, we’re glad to see that Raijintek is delivering the quality and performance we had hoped for. Sure, there are some really great looking components on the market from equally well-established brands, but as many of you know, their prices can border on crazy for even the smallest parts of the build. With Raijintek delivering these lovely products at a price range that puts them within the reach of more consumers, there’s a clear reason why this is the hardware you may want in your next build.

Working with these components was a breeze, I’m no custom-loop professional, and I managed to put it all together just fine and got a great looking build. I suffered no leaks, which isn’t to say that you wouldn’t, but it also means no components were damaged, no seals were broken and everything fit together easily enough first time, and there’s a good indication of overall quality. A 24-hour leak test held tight, and while I did the testing a few days ago, I can confirm that three days later, the build is still on the desk, and is still holding all its fluid just fine.

The pump is incredibly powerful, likely more powerful than most builds will ever require, but since you can dial down the power and noise levels using a simple dial, finding the right balance for your loop is something that will only take you a few seconds. When it comes to cooling performance, the GPU and CPU block did a fantastic job, and the heavy duty quality of each certainly helps move some serious heat. I love how easy it is to install the GPU block too, and it’s a great way to quickly water cool your card. Just keep in mind that some cards may require extra VRM coolers to prevent them from becoming unstable, as this isn’t a full-cover water block.
