MSI Dragon CPU Cooler

[Cthulhuiscool2]

Hi,

I just saw the MSI Dragon Liquid CPU Cooler on various sites whilst looking for a budget cpu cooler. I would like to find out more information about this product before I purchase it. The only problem is that there in none to be found and only 1 user review. Does anyone own this cooler? How do you rate it?

I assume from the pictures that MSI have partnered with Asetek, meaning the Dragon may be similar to the Corsair H50? If so, why is the Dragon £10 cheaper?

I would like to overclock my FX-6300 to 4GHz. I think the MSI cooler looks nice and would match the MSI GPU I plan to buy.

If I can't find any more information such as a TDP I think I'll go with the Hyper 212 EVO or the be quiet! Shadow rock 2 slim.

Thanks in advance.

I haven't heard of that cooler, I'd just play it safe and get the evo as it's a reliable performer

Yeah thats what I'm thinking. The Dragon is only £35.00, I'm worried the performance will have been compromised.

Thanks for your quick reply.

yeah it's a AIO cooler for 35 pounds, it's not going to be the best really :/ get the evo instead, it'll be cheaper and perform just as well, cause the main trend for AIo coolers under 100 pounds is that cheaper air coolers can do the same job if not better

Thanks a lot, I'll go with the EVO.

I like the look of the cooler, was looking for more information myself. BUT. I do have a H55 with corsair SP120 PWM fan (aftermarket). My idle temps are anywhere around 20c (18-24) depends on weather, and max temp I've ever seen is 44c.. So anyone saying cheap AIO coolers are the same as cheap air coolers are a little misguided. I have the FX-6300 OC to 4.1ghz constant (opposed to the standard boost where 2 cores go to 4.1). The dragon cooler is £3 less than I paid for the corsair option
