Max. TDP

The maximum TDP provided by the cooling system. Note that this parameter is indicated only for solutions equipped with heatsinks (see "Type"); for separately made fans, the efficiency is determined by other parameters, primarily by the air flow values (see above).

TDP can be described as the amount of heat that a cooling system is able to remove from a serviced component. Accordingly, for the normal operation of the entire system, it is necessary that the TDP of the cooling system is not lower than the heat dissipation of this component (heat dissipation data is usually indicated in the detailed characteristics of the components). And it is best to select coolers with a power margin of at least 20 – 25% — this will give an additional guarantee in case of forced operation modes and emergency situations (including clogging of the case and reduced air exchange efficiency).

As for specific numbers, the most modest modern cooling systems provide TDP up to 100 W, the most advanced — up to 250 W and even higher.

MTBF

The total time that a cooling fan is guaranteed to run before it fails. Note that when this time is exhausted, the device will not necessarily break — many modern fans have a significant margin of safety and are able to work for some more period. At the same time, it is worth evaluating the overall durability of the cooling system according to this parameter.

Pump MTBF

The MTBF of a liquid cooling pump is the approximate amount of time after which the pump is likely to fail. This figure is not 100% accurate and actual pump life may be less or longer than advertised, depending on usage. Nevertheless, this indicator is convenient for comparing different models with each other: more time between failures and in fact means greater reliability and durability.

Pipe length

The length of the tubes connecting the water block to the radiator in a water cooling system. By definition, there are at least two such tubes (supply and return), and sometimes more, but they all have the same length. This length corresponds to the largest distance from the water block to the radiator, possible for this system in the standard configuration; this nuance must be taken into account when choosing water cooling for a specific installation location. In general, most models are 38 or 40 cm long, which is enough for basic needs.

Pump power source

Type of power connector for the water pump.

3-pin. The three-pin power connector on older motherboards does not allow you to control the speed of the water pump motor in liquid cooling systems. At the same time, the pump always works in the maximum performance mode. Fresh "motherboards" are able to change the voltage on such connectors, thereby providing a change in engine speed.

4-pin. When using a 4pin power connector, it is supposed to control the speed of the pump motor using pulse-width modulation. A voltage of 12 V is applied to it with pulses. By changing the duration of the pulses, you can accurately set the speed of the water pump motor.

SATA. The SATA power connector will come in handy if all free 3pin and 4pin connectors are occupied on the motherboard.

Lighting sync

Backlight synchronization technology, provided in the cooling system with built-in lighting (see above).

Synchronization itself allows you to "match" the cooling backlight with the backlight of other system components — the motherboard, processor, graphics card, case, keyboard, mouse, etc. Thanks to this matching, all components can change colour synchronously, turn on / off at the same time, etc. The specific features of the operation of such a backlight depend on the synchronization technology used, and, usually, each manufacturer has its own (Aura Sync for Asus, RGB Fusion for Gigabyte, etc.). The compatibility of the components also depends on this: they must all support the same technology. So the easiest way to achieve backlight compatibility is to collect components from the same manufacturer. However, among the cooling systems there are solutions of the multi compatibility format — compatible with several synchronization technologies at once; a specific compatibility list is usually indicated in the detailed specifications of such models.

Manufacturer's warranty

Manufacturer's warranty provided for this model.

In fact, this is the minimum service life promised by the manufacturer, provided that the operating rules are followed. Most often, the actual service life of the device turns out to be significantly longer than the guaranteed one. Among the modest indicators there are models with a 1-year or 2-year warranty, more serious models already have a 3-year warranty, and the most confident manufacturers give a 5-year or even 6-year warranty.

Dimensions

General dimensions of the cooling system. For water systems (see "Type"), this paragraph indicates the size of the external radiator (the dimensions of the water block in such devices are small, and there is no need to specify them in particular).

In general, this is a fairly obvious parameter. We only note that for case fans (see ibid.), the thickness is of particular importance — it directly depends on how much space the device will take up inside the system unit. At the same time, it is customary to refer to fans with a thin case for models in which this size does not exceed 20 mm.
