Design and Functionality

AURAS Conditioner (GTO-990) is a dual-module cooling system that includes a water block combined with a pump and a radiator with a fan:

The system components are connected with one another with two non-transparent pipes 6-mm in internal diameter. Now let’s take a loser look at the cooler components.

The radiator design is pretty primitive. It consists of thin aluminum fins sitting on heatpipes filled with coolant. The radiator is 99 x 61 x 138mm big and weighs 555g:

There is a 92 x 92 x 25mm fan on top of it that supports PWM control of the fan rotation speed, which can vary from 80RPM to 2400RPM creating 47CFM airflow and generating 23dBA of noise. To lower the noise level, they placed the fan onto four silicone spindles that absorb the vibrations:

Besides, the fan also boasts blue highlighting.

The second part of the AURAS cooling system is a water block combined with a pump:

This simple device is very compact: it measures only 37 x 64 x 84mm. The pump capacity is not mentioned in Conditioner’s specifications, but its rotor rotation speed is claimed to be 1400RPM. The ceramic pump bearing should serve you well for 70,000 hours, and it can be powered from any of the available three-pin connectors of your mainboard or from a Molex connector of your PSU with a corresponding adapter. There is a blue LED in the upper transparent part of the pump.

The scheme below that we borrowed from the company’s official web-site gives you a great idea of the water block design peculiarities:

As you can see, the water block boasts very primitive architecture. Contemporary water blocks do not use this particular design any more (implemented in this particular way). As for the coolant they use, there is no info regarding it chemical contents or service time.

The water block base is covered with a protective film:

And it turned out there is really a lot to protect:

Ideally even and perfectly polished base doesn’t require any additional effort from you.
