The customization options of a computer increase every time a company manages to create a product that offers us the possibility of modifying it, whether by changing the colors, adding images or even allowing us, for example, to know the temperature of the processor. But in the end, all this is part of a trend that has been quite good for companies because they make the price of the product more expensive, especially if we talk about the LCD screens who have the Quite.
Most of the components that we can find today have a series of parameters that offer us the possibility of modifying them to our liking, and it is already quite common to find lights in each of them that we can buy, but now there is another one. the one that makes it more expensive, mainly for AIO cooling. And although we like it a lot, we cannot deny that it is a really useless expense, since in the end it really does not contribute anything to the configuration of the PC beyond aesthetics.
A fashion that we don’t know how long it will last.
As with all fashions, those that can be found in PC components can last a long time or a short time. We have already seen how some companies have tried to create their own innovative products but they have not been well received. In the case of AIO cooling, the general reception they have had has been quite good, in the end it is a system that has managed to improve the temperature of many high-performance computers thanks to the design and technology behind it, but those that are of good quality are quite expensive as usual.
And it is clear that if it is a type of heat sink that ensures that our processor will work well below the temperature it should since it perfectly fulfills its function, we can understand why they can be sold very expensive, since in the end we often pay for the quality of the product. But lately we are seeing a trend in which many large companies are launching systems All in one which have much higher prices because they include, for example, a LCD screen to be able to customize the cooling pump as we wish.
This obviously seems to us to be an interesting contribution, since as far as possible it improves the customization of the PC and on many occasions we can even give it a utility as we said before to monitor certain aspects of our computer, but it is not really something absolutely necessary.
Customization is always welcome, but not at these prices
The main reason why one can complain about this type of innovation that companies introduce is the price, something that obviously we tend to look at a lot, and that in AIO refrigerators evolves according to the customization options offered. It is not uncommon to see a system All in one cooling that one might normally find for $150 or $160 valued at over $260 and even reaching $300 just by including customizable fans as well as a screen LCD screen in the pump.
And although we think it is a good implementation as we said before, and taking into account that there are many high-end models that do not include it and are cheaper, in the end it is a fashion that we do not know how far it will go, since seeing how all the companies have dedicated themselves to offering these high-end AIOs with this type of screen, increasing the price quite a bit, nothing prevents them from also starting to do it in other low-end ones so that they cost more leaving aside the improvements that are essential to the refrigeration itself.
