Less Heat and Noise: The CoolIT Systems Eliminator CPU Cooler Review- Page 2/5
November 1, 2007
By Theo Cevallos



Packaging and Features
 

The Eliminator retail package is top notch. The front of the box is transparent and allows a clear view of the cooling mechanism.

The Eliminator CPU Cooler includes a 92mm fan, a large heatsink, three solid-state TEC (thermoelectric coolers or Peltiers) units, three water reservoirs and a CPU water block. Here is how it works: the coolant is fired through the pump and as it reaches the CPU water block, it cools the CPU. As a result, the coolant warms up, and is then pumped back and chilled by the three TECs as it passes through each of the three reservoirs, and finally, the coolant reenters the cycle again.

TECs have two sides, a very cold side and a hot side. The cool side of the TEC is the one in charge to chill the coolant; meanwhile the hot side is cooled by a radial heatsink, and hot air is taken out of the case by the 92mm fan.

The control module is installed on the cooler itself. You can see the 4-pin Molex connector needed to power the Eliminator and a small switch used to regulate its operation. The options are Low, Mid and High. The Low setting should be used for low profile operation, while Mid should be enough for most users and even allow room for overclocking, and High is for heavy overclocking and the best performance.
