The Xpressar RCS100 cools a CPU 20 degrees lower than liquid cooling. Thermaltake’s Xpressar RCS100 is also equipped with a custom controller to prevent condensation.  The system has been tested to work with various Gigabyte, MSI, and Asus motherboards.  It is likely the system works with many other motherboards as well, but they are not officially tested by Thermaltake.
