In Win also goes its own way with the second complete water cooling. With the BR line, on the one hand, the pump unit is placed in the hose to save space, but what makes the water cooling so special is a fan located above the base, which not only cools the CPU itself, but also the components around the base better.
The pump is built into the hose with low vibration
When it came to its first work with all-in-one water cooling, the manufacturer In Win, primarily known as a housing specialist, had chosen its own path away from the standard in this segment and equipped the SR series with a rare pump unit with two turbines, primarily a higher one To ensure failure safety.

This is now followed by the BR family consisting of the all-in-one cooling BR 24 and BR 36, the two previous versions of which typically differ only in the size of the radiator, an equally independent product line with special features. Among other things, the pump moves into the hose, which is intended to reduce the vibrations and the associated mechanical loads on the CPU, processor holder and mainboard. In Win also uses the resulting reduction in the height of the CPU block to avoid an often criticized point in compact water cooling compared to air coolers.
Fan over CPU cooling block measures 100 mm in diameter
Because above the base made of copper with a number of cooling fins inside through which the liquid flows, a fan that can be controlled via PWM signal ensures greater air circulation around the CPU socket. The manufacturer specifies the speed range as 400 – 2,500 rpm. According to In Win, this should not only allow the CPU, voltage converter, RAM and M.2 SSDs to work at lower temperatures than usual, but also the back of graphics cards – especially in the first PCIe slot on the mainboard – should be lower thanks to the approach be exposed to thermal stress. The construction measures 100 × 100 × 75 mm (L × W × H) and is therefore even lower than the pump unit of the SR line.
PC cooling In Win BR24 and BR36, with 240 and 360 radiators, are otherwise common compact water cooling systems, in which, for example, the radiator is made of aluminum and on which the 120 mm fans are located. The air exchange is done by two or three fans, which are repeatedly taken from the manufacturer's range.

However, from now on the fan models are called Luna Series AL120, which, unlike the Jupiter Series AJF120 used in the SR line, are designed for a higher air flow rate at a comparatively low speed instead of a particularly high static pressure. In Win specifies the variable speed range with 400 to 1,800 rpm. The rotors with double ball bearings should develop a noise level of 35.5 dB at full load.
Furthermore, the transparent fan blades of the fans are controlled by addressable LEDs (ARGB) built into the rotor illuminated. The control of the luminosity and the lighting effects in the RGB color space can be done either using software or manually using the external controller supplied.
High-end processors are also supported
Compatibility is with common mainstream sockets from AMD and Intel as well as the expansive AMD processor socket TR4. In addition, the tall pump unit can also be used on older as well as current Intel processors of the HEDT families.
It is not yet known when In Win plans to bring the BR24 with the product code IW-LC-BR24 and its sister model BR36 with the product code IW-LC-BR36, which is better in terms of cooling performance, on the market. The manufacturer has also not yet announced a price.
MSI already offers the high-priced alternative
With MSI and the all-in-one water cooling of the MPG Coreliquid K series, another manufacturer offers solutions with an additional fan above the pump unit. In this case, however, with a 60 mm fan with a smaller diameter, which is also flatter and can therefore convey less air at the same speed.
