Introduction
A big thank you to ID-Cooling for supplying the review sample.
ID-Cooling is no longer the same company it was when it was established in 2013. Since their formation, they have rapidly expanded their market presence, while also improving with each product release. With the ability to quickly adapt to various industry trends and advancements while systematically improving performance, it’s no wonder they have become a major player in the DIY PC market. Delivering effective and affordable solutions tends to be a surefire way to gain a following, and ID-Cooling has certainly done that, especially with the SE-224-XT series, which proved to be one of the best entry-level air coolers on the market.
Today’s review will focus on both the SE-224-XTS Black and SE-224-XTS Basic; while functionally the same, one has an all-black coating, for those concerned with aesthetics. While these coolers do use a tried and true single tower design, ID-Cooling had managed to surprise us before, with these coolers’ predecessor, the SE-224-XT Basic, which performed far better than you may expect. As such, I am quite interested to see how this latest generation compares considering a black coating on the fins could limit performance, it will be interesting to see if there is a difference between the two.
