Review: Fractal Design Celsius S24

Conclusion

Fractal Design is returning to the all-in-one liquid cooler market with the launch of the 240mm Celsius S24 and 360mm Celsius S36.

Both offer a number of upgrades over the outgoing Kelvin range, and the S24, at £105, is the cooler most widely compatible with current chassis. Offering solid build quality and few frills, this 240mm solution eschews flashy lights and excess software in favour of a streamlined design that pays attention to the finer details and is super-easy to install.

A choice of 'Auto' or 'PWM' operating modes make it easy to choose between low-noise or maximised cooling, an integrated fan hub with concealed cabling keeps clutter down to a minimum, and the loop is expandable should you choose to be more adventurous further down the line. The fact that the whole package requires only a single motherboard header is another plus point, and though we'd liked to have seen a spare tube of thermal paste included in the box, the Celsius S24 is for the most part difficult to fault.

Bottom line: ready to make the jump to an all-in-one liquid cooler? Put Fractal Design's Celsius S24 on your shortlist.
