Performance cooling can be separated into two segments, air and water. On the air side we have some very impressive heatsinks dominated by dual cooling towers and fan sizes around 140mm. The reason for this is to both increase performance and lower the noise footprint. On the water side the same principles apply however we are using water to store the heat energy and can then direct it anywhere we want. This can give us flexibility in radiator location and size so we can dial in our performance requirements.

In this review we will be looking at the Silverstone Tundra TD02-E. This is a dual fan AIO watercooling unit that has taken the Silverstone design principles and applied them to every aspect of this product from the pump and block design to even the unique radiator. Their idea was to create a more efficient watercooling experience that not only looks good but performs well under pressure.

The waterblock is one of the most important parts of any watercooling system and Silverstone has created an aluminum unibody to hold the block and pump combo. Mounting brackets are constructed from an extruded piece of aluminum for extra strength and will attach to the nickel plated housing.
