Nowadays in the hardware circle, cross-border manufacturers of products are more and more, sapphire as an A card big brother, in addition to the graphics card business, with years of strong technology accumulation, excellent product innovation capabilities, the past two years are also exploring other hardware areas, has released the Silver Horn King chassis, B550 ultra-platinum motherboard, air-cooled radiator, and today's protagonist: sapphire water spider integrated water cooling, designed for high-end level processors, so today we will open the box to test.
Sapphire water spider integrated water cooling machine appearance to silver black as the main color, divided into 240mm and 360mm two product specifications, in addition to the difference in cold row, other configurations are basically the same.
The cold exhaust fans are all blade axial design, the size is 120mmx 120mm x 25mm, after sapphire special tuning, there is a good balance between performance and silence, and from the official data, the heat dissipation performance should be excellent. The fan blade is translucent, in order to better show that the ARGB light effect is synchronized with the whole machine lamp effect.
Asetek's seventh-generation water cooling head has an external temperature sensor function, which can monitor the coolant temperature at all times, automatically adjust the pump speed, and the internal structure has also been improved, which effectively reduces noise compared with the previous generation.
As its name suggests, the design of the water-cooled head resembles a spider's web style, and the product logo is placed directly above the water-cooled head, and the boot light will look very good.
The water-cooled head has been pre-applied with silicone grease, as well as pre-installed AM4 fasteners, which is convenient for players to install and use directly, if you are an Intel platform, there are also Intel fasteners, including the latest 12th-generation Core LGA1700 platform, suitable for most processors on the market, the entire installation process is difficult, and Sapphire has also specially released an installation tutorial video, which shows the importance Sapphire attaches to this product.
Compared with other integrated water cooling on the market, the sapphire water spider has more water cooling head cables, including a total of six cold exhaust fans, water pumps, ARGB lighting effects, etc., but fortunately, each line has a label description, just find the corresponding position of the platform according to the label, which is more friendly for small white players.
The water cooling pipe is made of EPDM material, the nylon mesh sleeve is covered, which can greatly reduce the evaporation rate of the water cooling liquid, and prevent friction or collision from causing damage to the water pipe, while the flexibility of the wire is very good, and the water pipe interface supports large-angle adjustment, which is conducive to the tube in the chassis.
Whether it is a water-cooled head or a fan, the overall light effect looks very good, with other ARGB lighting hardware effects are better, and in the darker environment, its light effect does not feel dazzling, very soft and comfortable.
Overall, sapphire looks good and is equipped with a sapphire ARGB lighting system that instantly shines inside your chassis. The combination of the 7th generation Asetek water-cooled head solution and the 120mm cold exhaust fan can do a good job of cooling all processors. As sapphire's first water-cooled product, the overall performance is very good, coupled with sapphire's influence in the hardware circle, now entering the high-end water-cooled market will have a strong competitiveness, if your processor is 5600X, 11400F mainstream level, choose 240mm specifications to ensure heat dissipation, 5900X, 12900K and other high-end processors are recommended to use 360mm specifications.
