Cooler Master Aquagate Mini R80 Water Cooler
December 06, 2005

Cooler Master was founded over a decade ago with the initial focus of creating high quality computer cooling solutions. They still manage to do that, but have expanded their line-up to also market cases, drives enclosures, multi-function panels, and power supplies. One of their newer cooling solutions, the Aquagate Mini R80 water cooler, comes to Bigbruin.com for review from a much younger company. ClubIT.com opened for business in August 2005, and has quickly developed a solid reputation for low prices and great service on cutting edge tech products.


The Cooler Master Aquagate Mini R80 is shown in the promotional image above, and it can be seen that this water cooler is a compact system designed to cool just a CPU. Everything comes pre-plumbed, with all the necessary components included (even cooling fluid). Simplicity is definitely a good thing, but this review will see how the performance weighs in as well.

Before taking a look at the specific unit provided for review, let's have a look at some of the published features and specifications...
