You may have never heard of AMA Precision. Don't sweat it, neither did we when we were contacted about reviewing their upcoming Aragon 900 Liquid Cooling unit. Looking over the AMA website, we found they offer power supplies and a variety of cooling options for enthusiasts. We even found some familiar Asus-branded air cooling units that we have reviewed in the past. It helped to know they were behind the development of some respectable air coolers and we were excited to see what they have to offer in the liquid cooling arena.
The Aragon 900 comes with a dominant visual appeal most enthusiasts will likely love. But sometimes looks can be deceiving (like that hottie across the way you later discovered had a creepy manly voice). Of course, our primary concern is with performance, and we already know what hardware the Aragon 900 is packing. Join us as we strap this water cooler to our test bench for the ride of its life.

Breaking away from the WOW/medieval look of the box, we found something different when we looked inside: Ultra-modern components for modern day systems. Not only does it come with the LGA775 and modern AMD brackets, but a LGA1366 bracket is included as well. Enthusiasts looking for liquid cooling options on their new Core i7 builds, may have an option here. But we will reserve that judgment for later. Also included is a small funnel, thermal paste, install guide, expansion port bracket, stands for the radiator, and a two-to-one 4-pin fan adapter for the dual fans.
The coolant is a non concentrated 500cc bottle of Ethylene Glycol. According to the bottle it claims to have anti-freezing, anti-corrosive, anti-rusting, anti-foaming and anti-UV properties. We didn't have enough time to test all of these but there was definitely a light foamy attribute to it during initial testing. We'll touch on that a bit later.
