THE LUMEN S24 & S24 RGB

 

 

 

 

 

 

As mentioned earlier both AIO models are identical, both use 272x120x27mm radiators (with the pump placed between their fins), 400mm long nylon braided tubes and ARGB waterblocks with copper coldplates.

 

 

The radiators seem to be slightly more than 27mm in thickness (not a bad thing really).

 

 

Fractal Design has printed their logo on both sides of the radiator.

 

 

Between these two metal plates (top/bottom) Fractal Design has placed a high-RPM (4000RPM) ceramic pump that has an MTTF (meantime to failure) of 50.000 hours.

 

 

The aluminum radiators used have an FPI count (fins per inch) of 20.

 

 

Rubber sealed fill ports are located on the rear end of the radiators.

 

 

Using 400mm long nylon braided tubes with 240mm AIO models is something that we didn't used to see.

 

 

The top of the waterblock features the company logo and even though it's dark gray in color it actually lights up with RGB lighting.

 

 

Just by pulling it you can reveal the 6 ARGB LEDs inside (removing it allows you to place the company logo properly after mounting).

 

 

In order to control the ARGB LEDs (even to light them up) you will need to attach the bundled 3pin cable and connect it to your motherboard ARGB/RGB header.

 

 

Both tubes can rotate up to 90 degrees from the waterblock to further simplify installation.

 

 

Fractal Design uses a think round layer of thermal conductive material but since for all my tests i use the NT-H1 thermal paste by Noctua i removed it to showcase the entire copper coldplate.

 

 

Both AIO models use Aspect 12 PWM fans (RGB for the S24 RGB) which can reach speeds up to 2000RPM to produce airflow levels of up to 56CFM with up to 2.34mm H2O static pressure and 33.2dBA of noise.

 

 

With these fans mounted on their radiators both the Lumen S24 and S24 RGB are now almost 52mm thick.
