Conclusion

The owners of Alphacool Xtreme Pro 360 Rev.2 do not need to worry about the stability of their overclocked processors even in scorching summer heat, because this liquid-cooling system boasts efficiency unattainable for the air coolers outperforming them by about 6~12 degrees in peak CPU temperature. Large copper radiator, high-quality quiet pump with a beautiful tank, efficient universal water block and everything else that one needs to build a proper CPU cooling contour – all this goes for only $229.90! Why “only? Well, remember the recommended retail rpice of the recently tested Thermaltake solution…

Speaking of the drawbacks, I think Alphacool Xtreme Pro 360 Rev.2 could use a retention kit for the radiator and fans so that you could mount this unit onto the system case (like the one in PW800i). It would also be nice to have a universal VGA water block. The fact that Alphacool NexXxoS XP water block included with the kit cannot be installed onto LGA1366 mainboards with the default retentions is not an issue, as the new water block revisions already come with everything necessary for that. Other than that there is nothing else missing about the Alphacool system reviewed today. And as usual, it is up to you to decide if it is worth the money they are asking for it.
