When I purchased this product I looked up the specs and reviewed the data that the company documented. The temperatures they gave are far different then the ones I have. They claim temps of about 74F well, mine are about between 87F and 97F which is unacceptable. I bought this cooler thinking that because it was smaller it would fit better with the design rather than my old cooler which was bigger but,actually worked. My advice is not to trust this one.

This product leaked after running OK for 12 months, dripping coolant onto the MB, video card, and USB card. It destroyed the Video Card ($150.00) and the USB Cards ( $25.00), burned out the power supply ( $200.00) and my top end PC is now toast.

Second day, the lcd display stopped working. Just lights up blue, no display! It still keeps my i7 975 at 42c at idle and 70c at full load,not bad for 75$ still bummed about display!

ran for 3 weeks then internal pump failed. too two weeks (and sending pics of installed unit) before rma issued. replacement units backordered. got replacement 2 months after failure and only after i threatened to sue in small claims court. replacement unit failed immediately. now on 3rd unit. we'll see how this one works.

This is the first water cooler I got but for the price it is a great buy.

Comment:
Ive built about 4 or 5 gamers and this is the first time I never had to worry about overheating. This cooler in my opinion is second to none. I did however, have to make a couple of minor changes to the case I have the unit in. This cooler has awesome feedback on the temp and fan and pump operations plus fun gadget appeal.

$79.99 rivals many of the good fan and heatsink coolers. Instead, you get a completely factory sealed liquid cooling system for your CPU. From what I've read on the reviews about it leaking, I think this strictly deals with shipping. Mine came with no radiator fins broken or bent and no leaks. It works amazingly keeping my Phenom II x2 550 BE, which is overclocked with all 4 cores (Unlocked the 2 dormant cores) at 3.6Ghz currently, during Everest's CPU stress test, between 46-50C. Idle it runs about 38C. Would HIGHLY recommend. Was a PITA to install as the documentation sucked, and I had to yank my side fan, which wasn't a problem since I'm using liquid cooling anyhow.

Comment:
This is a very good liquid cooler for people wanting silent cooling with cpu's running at stock speeds. I have a I7 920 and even at stock speed they run very hot, this dropped my idle temps by 8c, the cpu is running at the stock speed of 2.6ghz. My pc is now silent as the rad's fan never needs to increase speed to keep my cpu at normal temps. On the Other Hand this is not a good solution for overclockers, you need something with more cooling power like their freezone elite, since that is a tech plate/rad hybrid you will get the cooling you need to overclock. But is your goal it to get rid of fan noise and don't intend to overclock this is an ideal solution for you.

So far this is a nice quality product for the price!

I ordered this and it worked great for about a month then the pump quit. returned to coolit systems for replacement. took over a month for new one to come in. it lasted 3 weeks contacted them again they wanted the serial number off unit so i sent that to them. then they reply with they don't warranty refurbished items....I told them them it was new they had just sent it to me as a replacement for one that had quit. they reply with they send refurbished ones out for warranty and after 1 replacement I am SOL DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF CRAP! waste of money and there warranty system is not good!

Overcloacked my 955 to 3.6ghz (will be trying 3.8 soon if not possibly higher) inside my Thermal-take element g case (had to remove the panel fan) but will foal load its only getting 40c. and its just as quiet as my case fans. Really excellent product. And i strongly advice anyone to get it.

refunded the purchase price,damage in shipping.It will leak and ruin your PC. it

Comment:
Ok so I was on the fence between this and the corsair equivilant. I went with this one for the added cpu monitering screen and the lower price dispite mixed reviews. It would appear mine was damaged in shiping, the bottom of the radiator was leaking and the fins in the radiator looked bent in some places. Probably a fault with shipping and packageing so I'm docking points on quality and performance since I was unable to use it and CoolIt could have packaged their product a little better. Also if it was supposedly factory sealed should being jostled around in shipping really cause a leak, better that it happend in the box and not my computer case.

I was looking for an inexpensive way to cool my PC when I came across this cooler. After reading reviews on a few OC sights, I decided to order this and was pleasantly surprised when I got it installed. I OC'd my Pentium D from 2.8 to 3.6 and it idles at 89F and at 100% load only hits 100F. The only drawback I came across was my case had 2 80mm fans in back and the radiator requires a 120mm fan opening. Without any way to modify the case, I just mounted it tight against the fan holes with Zip-Ties. It works like a champ!

I bought this item and placed it in my Coolmaster HAF 932 Full Tower Black Case. However because of the size of the Coolit Unit I was forced to abandon my large fan on the side of the Case (BUMMER). The Fan and pump on the unit is rather noisy, so you will have that humming noise constatntly.

Comment:
I am very happy with this unit. It is my first water cooling kit and think it's a great way to get your feet wet. Performance far better than excepted. Used in a Antec 900 case , the side panel fan can not be used and the plastic fan mount must be cut to get the door back on. STILL WORTH EVERY PENNY! It's big and blocks your view of the cool bits you may have in your rig . If you're more go and less show. Go with this . It works and its not expensive. Why the 4's score? No it's not the best out there. But it is for the money. For your info my i7 CPU is at 25c while typing this review and it sits on 85 degree heated floors.

The PC run very cool most of the time 27c to 30c and i am Overclocked at Phenom 955 to 3.8Ghz under load it run 41c under stress test for Over 24 hours the only thing that i see it not made for small Box

Comment:
My Q9400 cpu temp. with stock fan was 143deg.f to as high of 198deg.f. with no overclocking. I installed the coolit system and the temps went to 94deg.f to as high as 118.9deg.f with the fan set to medium setting. set the fan to high and temps stay at 81deg or less! good unit!!

Comment:
Worked great for overclocking. After about a year the hoses broke and fried my video card directly underneath it. Thankfully that was all that got toasted.

Comment:
Bought this to replace a case liquid cooling unit that was very bulky. One month the fan on this stopped working. Difficult to match fan holes in case so small modification needed to mount (Drill new holes in case).

Comment:
Good price for cheap water cooling for your system, running amd phenom 2 quad core at 3.8ghz, at idle 31'C and load is 38'C, keeps temperatures very stable. Max fan speed is very loud though.

Comment:
Its actually pretty sweet when installed. Keeps my Processor at 20-30C, was a pain in the arse to install though and 3 of the springy screws came stripped, but I improvised and its working great. The fan is moderately loud, but only turns on when its set to the maximum setting, and my headset muffles most of it anyway. A great buy, and for $70 a great choice if your tight on money and a heatsink just won't do it. Though, make sure this is the last thing you install if your building a PC, as it will get difficult to attach things in behind it.

Comment:
Couldn't keep my CPU under 190 degrees with a fan cooler so I bought this one -- it constantly keeps the CPU near 100 degrees and I have not had a single problem with it's performance. It is also MUCH MUCH quieter than the fans. Only complaint I have is it is big and bulky. I had to remove the fan from the case side and the side cover still doesn't fit right. This is due directly to the type of case though. A normal case without any openings or additions would probably not have a problem.

Installed it, lost ~10C on QuadCore cpu (stock config). Adjust the multiple levels when you fool around.been using this awesome lil thing for a while, compared it to koolance external units(+300$), custom full watercooling(+300$), and Corsair H50.i will repeat it, NO MAINTENANCE AND 1-PIECE! So darn easy to install you could do it drunk on Xmas-eve!(please don't). If you are kind to those 2 hoses, possibly re-inforce themYou will have the cheapest unit able to cool an quadCore on the market. The H50 is prettymuch the same thing, they both affect airflow in different ways. Choice is up to you. Other systems cost more and guess what.. do a better job, you get what you pay for. But just in case, NO MAINTENANCE AND 1-PIECE!

Cools Great. When running on lower fan speed it BEEPS annoyingly because it loses track of fan speed. I think it might be the fault of the mobo but either way annoying. The bracket that came with it says it fits the amd back plate but it didn't. I thought maybe its because I have am3 instead of am2, but I ordered a am2 backplate but the same problem. I sent them an e-mail and they said tought luck it should work so I rigged it with some screws an nuts works great.
