Rajentech is trying to change the game up with their Triton CPU cooler.
All-in-one coolers have been mostly rocking black tubes since basically the
dawn of time. So, including clear tubes and the ability to dye the included
liquid yourself or pre- purchase it pre-dyed is a bold move. Cotton, let's
see how it pays off. Stay subscribed to Linus Tech Tips for probably more
cooling videos as we get into the summer season.
The Cooler Master Nova Touch TKL utilizes genuine Toper Hybrid capacitive
switches and is now available at a more affordable price. Click now to learn
more. Let's start with a physical tour of the Triton. One could easily say that
this is the best looking AL cooler out there currently. The first thing you
should notice is the completely clear tubing and CPU block. This allows for
more than just aesthetic purposes, as letting you see the coolant moving
around and the pump actually working is pretty cool. Its tubing can be a big
draw, but what isn't described is just how flexible, smooth, and soft the tubes
are. And that's not necessarily a good thing. They're so flexible, in fact,
that while it does allow for far easier installation and positioning of the
block, radiator, and tubing, they kink extremely easily. So easily, in fact,
that they may be fine while it's installed. in most configurations, but
I'm also willing to bet that many users will kink them a few times during the
installation process. The mounting hardware is very solid and has some good
weight to it, and it happens to look good, which is kind of great as well
because it will complement that beautiful reservoir. But now on to the
main feature of this whole video, the pump, CPU block, and reservoir. The
reservoir has a fill port for easy access and fittings that are easily
removable and expandable into other parts of your system like your GPU. You
could in fact color the included liquid and that's exactly what Regentech
planned. They included three colors of dye in the box, red, green, and blue. In
case that's too much tinkering for your blood, which is unlikely, but anyways,
don't worry. Regent has you covered with two other models of the Triton. They
have the Triton Core, which is the only model that doesn't come with the included fans, which we'll talk about
later, and also has no added dyes. The
next model is the Triton RGB, which is pretty self-explanatory. These models
come pre-colored in RG or B, so you
don't have to worry about possibly making a mess, losing your liquid, or screwing up your pump. And it's a good
thing that they include this model in their lineup because there's a big sanity check here by Triton. stated
right on the web page is that opening the fill port on your cooler voids your
warranty and they hold no responsibility for damages caused by the dyes. That
being said, this shouldn't be too surprising as it would be very easy for
an inexperienced builder to wreck their system once that port is opened. Since I
mentioned them earlier, I should probably talk about the included fans.
They are actually pretty decent as experienced in our testing. They push a
fair amount of air and are decently quiet. Where things start to get a bit
different and strange is the fact that the fans are actually tethered together
at the cable that terminates in one three pin fan connector instead of two.
The reason why they did this was done is because they included an inline fan
controller, which is actually pretty cool in theory, but I have concerns. For
example, there are no numbers or symbols telling you what speed or voltage the
fans are running at. and you have to open up your side panel every time you
need to adjust your fan speed, which can get very annoying. I would have
appreciated it if even a like one to five marking was on it, so you would be
more clear in the end. Let's backtrack a bit to the box this came in. When you
open the box, you're greeted by one tiny piece of closed cell foam over top of
the CPU block to make it a little bit safer, and then mostly just some flimsy
cardboard for the rest. Yet again, I had
some concerns. Upon researching the cooler and reading customer reviews on
Amazon, Newegg, and NCX.com, there were tons of cases of dead on arrival or
leaky coolers. Not cool. Anyways, it's
now results time. As you see in the graphs, the Triton manages to do very
well with our Noctua NF12 strapped to it. And even beating out the H100i by a
little bit. The stock fans are running at 1100 RPM were not very audible at
all, which is great. But as you can see, their performance wasn't necessarily
anything to write home about, which is not too surprising due to the their
stellar audio levels. While the Triton may not be the best performing cooler
out there, it definitely gets you to a very comfortable temperature and easily
enters the expected range of temperatures for a 240 mm cooler while
being one hell of a looker. In conclusion, this is one hell of a sexy
cooler. And that seems to be a lot of what people are going for when they're
looking for aftermarket cooling these days anyways. So that might be fine. If
you're not interested in aesthetics or have an opaque side panel, then this may
not be the cooler for you. Dead on arrival issues are nothing to scoff at.
And if you can fit a 280 mm rad in, then
definitely go with that, which I guess is true for pretty much any 240 mm
cooler if you're not going for aesthetics. Personally, I really dig
that you can change the colors of this bad boy. And I like that you can
actually easily drain it to either color match to a different build in the future
or just go back to colorless if you please. I'm very happy to see Triton
bringing coolers in this direction. Clear tubes and custom colors is a bit
of a gamble for them and I'm happy to see that so far it seems to be playing
out. Speaking of looking good, Dollar Shave Club. Dollar Shave Club is a great
way to get razors and other bathroom supplies shipped directly to your door
for only a few bucks a month. The razors are high quality and we have a ton of
community members who use them everyday and love the smooth shave that they get
no matter how thick or potentially coarse their facial hair may be. For
some reason, this comes as a shock to many people out there, but yes, I know I
have facial hair, but I do still shave. And I would say that I definitely get a
good shave from Dollar Shave Club's razors. They're pretty darn nice. On top
of the razors, they also have Dr. Carver's shave butter, which goes on
smooth and clear, so you can see what you're doing, which is kind of
fantastic, and their peppermint scented buttwipes for men for those of you over
in North America that can't get to a bedet. So, check out everything that
they have to offer at dollarshaveclub.com/Linus.
