Corsair Hydrocool 200 Review

The performance of such a small water block using only 1/4 ” I.D tubing surprised me. The trend among us water cooling enthusiasts has been towards larger tubing, such as ½’ I.D. Tygon 3603. Hydrocool goes in the opposite direction, but with good results. Having followed the development of today’s best performing blocks, I wasn’t surprised to hear that Delphi’s engineers designed “a few dozen” micro-channels into this water block. Similar developments have been seen in other blocks; the infamous White Water block comes to mind. But even the most enthusiastic attempts I have seen resulted in around ten micro channels in a single block. I would love to see the tooling that produced a few dozen in such a small block.
