Fractal Design. They're a well-known contender in the PC components market, most famously manufacturing cases that all conform to a very clean, minimalistic, and clean aesthetic. We recently reviewed their simply stellar (albeit pricey, though here it is justified) Define R6 case, the review of which you can see here. We felt compelled to give the unit a full 5/5. So will Fractal Design continue that excellence to their series of all-in-one liquid CPU coolers?

The unit comes armed with a 240mm radiator (that uses standard G 1/4'' fittings) and two X2 GP-12 120mm PWM fans. Whilst I was unable to find a TDP rating for the unit, I would have no issue using the cooler to tame an 8 core Ryzen CPU, an i7 8700k, or even a lower end X299 chip such as the i7 7820X. In our 2017 builds guide (which, to anybody interested, you can see on page 5, linked here), we recommended that anybody looking to build and overclock a Threadripper based system should use a TR4 designed cooler. This is due to the IHS being somewhat bigger than the base plate of the vast majority of cooling options out there, even in early 2018.
