Conclusion

This is by no means a definitive review, as essentially we didn’t have more samples for comparison at hand. However, it certainly gives a great indicator on the raw performance of all the fluids tested. As a result we see this as a ‘growing’ review where differing comparison liquids will be added over time , along with a myriad of different equipment. For example we wish to test all these fluids against our previous  product the ‘Thermochill EC6’ and of other makes. However, we are here to report our findings as we see them today and not what they may be in the distant future.

Please keep in mind that a review is a ‘snapshot’ in time and one cannot realistically write about new fluids when using the performance over time ratio and still keep to a dead-line.

As mentioned above we shall conclude our review by making comments upon each of the fluids presented here today.

Mayhems X1

A great product overall, easily performs to the level of a distilled water product and the evidence shows this. Though it is not water based ( in other words needs additives), so there is no reason to add any third-party products, albeit if you wished to make your own colour by using a dye from another manufacturer. All though the costs is more than the regular water based product it does save the need for the aforementioned and that for many is the deciding factor. We only wish we had the chance to review the coloured version of this product to see if there are any performances losses when utilised under the same conditions as our test.

In short it does exactly what it says on the tin and by a comfortable margin to boot!

Mayhems Pastel

A product with great looks and the other colours offer the same ‘eye-candy as the Ice-White. Whilst we are speaking of the looks, all the range of the pastel is obviously based upon the white colour as when you add any dye to a strong white base then you always get a pastel shade. So with that said experimentation is the key and your own unique colour can be used by adding your own dye to the Ice-white base. We at overclockers tech, truly appreciate creative products and if this product where slightly better performing it would have obtained our first EVER double gold award for creativity and performance. However this product is not aimed at the performance market but of the ‘Modder’ variety.

Having said the above, performance is the key here as well as eye candy for many and yes the literature certainly states that it is not meant to be aimed at the performance market and the results show this, but in the end it does factor into the equation and the final result listed below will be include in these options.

PrimoChill PC Pure and Mayhems Ultra Pure H20

Both products perform really well with the Primochill being the exception. Due to Mayhems product actually performing better we still cannot give the H20 an award as it does not contain a biocide with the  addition to the Pure containing Glycol. As such a like-for-like comparison is impossible at this moment in time. and if the ‘PC Pure’ were the subject of the review rather than a comparison fluid then we would give the product a silver award.

Once again the product has shown that it simply cannot keep up with the big boys. For a fluid that is so-called ‘Designed by a NASA scientist’ then it is woeful that the performance results are as bad as they are. Two reviews and under differing equipment the fluid has been used and has produced the worst results of the products tested.

There is an old saying, Once is a coincidence, twice is something to think about, but the third time is the final result, and rest assured we will be using this fluid for comparison in other reviews.

On balance it could be worth testing a differing CPU block, perhaps this fluid is made for ‘Danger Den’ products as they both seem to be recommending each other on their respective websites? It could be possible that this is the case and as a result we will hold our full judgement until this has been tested.

Awards

Mayhems X1

Based upon the performance of the products tested thus far, this fluid gets our Gold award with a total score of 9.1 out of 10.

PC PURE (Primochill)

We mentioned that we could not give this product an award with it being a comparison fluid only, however we would not do this review or any reader justice if we didn’t give it an award for its performance value and as such obtains a 7.9 out of 10, and therefore a silver award.

Mayhems ICE-WHITE Pastel

This is where things get a little tricky as we have many things to factor into the equation. If we take into the account its looks and adaptability into a myriad of differing colours, and then we add-in a certain amount of performance results, then the judgement can get tricky indeed. However let us attempt to render our view in a section by section format.

• Originality, Creativity, looks and adaptability= GOLD
• Performance=Bronze

Therefore if we average them out then this would obtain a silver with a score of 7.9 out of 10. We already have a silver award in this review and so to be totally fair whilst factoring into this review that this product was NEVER designed for the performance market.

Due to the fact that we will be using this product (as the colour fits the case theme and all in all is a good product) and it DOES tick most of the boxes. Therefore we render a joint Silver with the Primochill product and an Editors choice award for its creativity.

We like to thank MAYHEMS for the review samples.
