THE CELSIUS+ S36 PRISMA

At first glance the Celsius+ S36 Prisma looks a lot like its predecessor (at least when turned off and without its fans).

As mentioned earlier thickness and length are identical to the first S36 so nothing new here.

Again, just under the mounting locations and above the fins we find protective plates (this should be standard on all radiators, however it's not).

We also see the same FPI (fins per inch) count of 21.

The fittings of the S36 have been replaced with new ones in the S36 Prisma.

Between the two fittings we find the same 3-way fan hub as with the original S36 with one slight difference, the addition of two LED headers.

The new pump/base combo is not only taller compared to that of the first S36 but it also features a top made out of glass and 6 addressable RGB LEDs right beneath it (you can switch between PWM and Auto mode by rotating the top ring - during my tests PWM produced the best results so keep that in mind).

There's also a 3pin ARGB header on the left side of the pump.

Another difference compared to the first S36 is that the S36 Prisma has sleeved tubes which can rotate from the base.

The copper coldplate base comes ready with a thin layer of thermal conductive material but since i never use the stock material i removed it to have a look at the entire base.

The Prisma AL-12 PWM ARGB fans feature rubber anti-vibration pads on all sides.

With the fans mounted the thickness of the Celsius+ S36 Prisma increases to almost 55mm.

Remember to position the fans in such a way that their cables can reach the fan hub.
