The installation is done within a few minutes, and finally we connect the cables. If you decide to have the ports on a different side instead of the right, you can remove the pump cover and screw it back in place. Fractal gives you the freedom to choose on which side of the cooler block you want to have the connections. In the last step, we put the cooler block on top and then screw it tight. The latter also prevent slipping during installation. In the next step, we now attach the backplate using the included screws and rubber rings. The length of the hoses is 40 cm, which is long enough for most cases.
Since we are testing the AiO in the new Fractal Design Torrent, there are still two plates between the radiator and the fan in our case. In the first step, we attach the fans to the radiator and then to the case. The instructions are very detailed and easy to understand, the assembly turns out to be very simple and straightforward. The scope of delivery includes mounting material for all currently common CPU sockets, regardless of whether AMD or Intel. Only the fans look a bit cheap due to the chosen plastic as well as the missing rubber coating. Sharp edges or minor flaws do not exist, and the casing of the hoses also leaves a very good and high-quality impression. Material quality and workmanship of the Lumen can convince all around. The illumination is well visible through the black but translucent pump cover and also on the fans, there is nothing to complain about the display of colors, gradients and effects. Due to the variety of colors and effects, there are almost no limits to your creativity. The ARGB lighting of the Lumen can be configured within your motherboard software, all major manufacturers are supported. Additional thermal paste for later rebuilds is not included. The thermal paste is already applied to the heatsink and protected by a cover. Underneath the manual, the radiator including radiator block and pump, a connection cable for the RGB lighting as well as the ARGB fans and several bags with mounting materials are well and safely stowed.
This is very detailed and more than adequately illustrated. On the back and bottom you can also see some technical details, features and the supported motherboard manufacturers regarding the RGB lighting.Īfter opening the box, you see the blue manual, which is typical for Fractal Design. The Lumen S28 RGB comes in a compact black cardboard box, on which the AiO including RGB lighting is shown. In the following test, we clarify whether the Lumen is convincing in terms of cooling performance and volume.
We took a closer look at the Lumen S28 in the RGB version. For RGB, another €10 surcharge is due, so the Lumen S36 RGB is the most expensive model at €129.99. In terms of price, the AiOs start at 99.99 € for the Lumen S24, the next larger model follows with a surcharge of 10 € in each case. All versions come with an optional illuminated pump cover, and the customer can choose between plain black Aspect fans and the ARGB version of the Aspect fans. This is an AiO series available with radiators in sizes of 240, 280 and 360 mm. Just a few days after the Torrent case, Fractal Design presents us with another novelty with the Lumen water cooling.
