Cooler Master Seidon 120M liquid CPU chiller releases this month

Cooler Master have decided it's now safe to get back into the water-cooling game and are releasing the new Seidon 120M onto the market this month. With a price tag of around £50 this closed-loop water cooler isn't sitting too high on the price spectrum, though I would expect Cooler Master to be releasing an £80-odd Seidon 240M with a double fan array and larger reservoir quite soon after.

Back in the before times, long, long ago, Cooler Master claims to have invented the closed-loop CPU water cooler. The Aquagate Series was brought out in 2004 and Cooler Master is calling it the first ever all-in-one liquid cooler. We obviously can't verify those claims because there are no records from that long ago, but our oldest sources tell us that its Aquagate closed-loop coolers were among the first that didn't demand a degree in engineering to put together and mount in/on your machine.

Let's hope the same is true of its latest offering; I've got my sample en route as I type, but we'll all be able to pick up a Seidon 120M when they're launched sometime this December.
