Cooler Master AQUAGATE Viva -
Liquid cooling for your CPU and GPU
Introduction
Cooler Master is no stranger to cases and cooling and we were quite
pleased to see another innovative product land on our doorsteps. The current
self contained systems either aren't up to par with my performance standards
or they are a bit too expensive. I never understood why more manufacturer's
haven't released more self contained liquid cooling systems. Let's face it,
not everyone has the time, patience or technical know-how to purchase an all
out water cooling kit with separate components. It can also get very expensive
and messy if you don't know what you are doing.
The AQUAGATE Viva looks to solve those issues. When I first saw
the product, I was taken back. Could this be the answer I've been wishing for?
On paper, this would be the perfect solution. I needed a simple all in one liquid
cooling solution that required little or no maintenance, was easy to install
and performed well. Pricing is also an important factor. I was actually shocked
to see the AQUAGATE Viva priced lower than its older sibling, the AQUAGATE mini.
Is it too good to be true?
