First things first. Holy crap how close did the Cooler Master Nepton 280L come to taking the CPU cooler crown? 1.7 Degrees that's how close (did I just answer my own rhetorical question?). Not only was it close, but it actually held the lead all the wa...

Abstract: Remember the time when liquid cooling a computer chip was considered to be an extreme approach, one performed by hardcore enthusiasts and overclockers alone? Everything had to be personally designed and or procured by the user, as there were no specialize...
Abstract: Coolermaster's Nepton 280L is the best performing all-in-one CPU watercooler Frostytech has tested... thus far. More surprisingly for us, the Nepton 280L managed to rise to the top of the 200W Intel LGA2011, 150W & 85W Intel LGA115x/775 and 125W AMD s...
280mm of performance, Subdued design that blends in with most setups, Easier installation than the competition, 140mm JetFlos are a step up for stock fans, Thumbscrews!, Drilled for both 120/140mm fan configurations

If you want the best in AIO coolers; look no further than the Nepton 280L. Cooler Master proves that with a little customization, some serious developments in a new head unit, and some "take no prisoners" style fans, they have delivered the best AIO to d...
Although some may question whether Cooler Master copied its radiator design from manufacturers, why does it matter? The only thing I know is, and with all confidence, I can say the Nepton 280L's performance is pretty darn good. Tested with one of Intel's ...
It’s always nice to go into a review without any expectations and come out pleasantly surprised. With its oversized dimensions, old school tubing and massive water block, Cooler Master’s Nepton 280L looks like an all-in-one cooler from a bygone era. Ho...
