Cons: plastic barbs, do not cool very well
Pros: Cheap, amd compatible, 1/2 and 3/8 barbs Comment:
Affordable water block , but you pay for what you get. The performance are not really good and the bards are in cheapo plastic. I would not buy again |

Cons: None so far.
Pros: * Good temps* Very easy to mount on 775* Comes with a backplate* Good options for barbs* Extremely snug fit with 7/16th tubing, ZERO leaks Comment:
I bought this as my first cpu waterblock, and I've been using it in conjunction with the Swiftech chipset cooler. Its a very good combination, and so far, I can't seem to find anything wrong with either of them. Great product, would buy again. |

Cons: -doesn't preform quite as well as some of the more expensive blocks-plastic barbs
Pros: -looks great-performs quite well-easy to install-lots of extras included - fittings, hose clamps, extra oring to bow the base Comment:
Looks great, preforms quite well - keeps my e3110 oc'd about 46 degrees loaded, easy to install and lots of extras included in the box. Doesn't perform quite as well as some of the more expensive blocks, but it definetely does the job. |

Cons: Doesn't perform as well as some other blocks
Pros: Looks great real shiny, performs quite well, good price. Can be bowed for a little bit of extra performance Comment:
I bought this with my loop to cool my overclocked E6300 and it works great with the rest of my loop (HW Labs BIX240 > D5 Vario > T-Line > Apogee GT > back to BIX240). The shiny retention plate or whatever looks real nice in my case.It's a great price too and it can be "bowed" for that extra little bit of performance. Not as good as some other blocks but then again much cheaper. |

Cons: None!
Pros: -Very effective-Nice looking -Easy to install -Not expensive Comment:
I have this waterblock since the last 2 months and I can't ask for a better one. It keeps my 6000+ OC to 3.51GHz under 40 degrees full load even with 2 water cooled graphic cards! It's not expensive and very nice looking. It comes with many sets of different barbs. 5 stars! |

Cons: None so far
Pros: Great cooling, Looks, Quality, compatibility Comment:
This is definitely a good water block. My temps on my X2 6000+ are: Idle, 32 Load, 41 in Celsius. It looks great and is definitely better than any air cooling i've had. |

Cons: repeated installs will make it harder to mount the waterblock if you wear out the little washers that sit between the waterblock pole mounts on the motherboard surface.
Pros: Keeps dual cores cool at high voltages Comment:
I bought this to cool down an E4500 and it works better then I expected, really easy to install ..looks nice and sexy all chromed out with its polished mirror surface, really well made, nice product !!!] |

Cons: The soft plastic bards are too soft. You really have to be careful when you tighten them up
Pros: This is what a water block should be. Easy and painless to install and it looks killer in the case. Comment:
With this block you really can't be disappointed, it does everything it is designed to do. The price is ok and the looks are great. I look forward to doing another project with these again. |

Cons: The Connector could have been chrome (for cosmetic purposes)Size of plate
Pros: Good FlowVersatile Mounting Plate Comment:
Very awesome CPU block...Great looks..Comes w/ tubing set for various sizes and mounting plates for various sockets... |

Cons: -Size of mounting plate
Pros: -Good flow-Very versatile mounting plate-Looks nice Comment:
This product allows for great flow and looks really nice with some lights in your case. The install was relatively easy just as it should be. The main issue is because of its very versatile mounting plate being so large it can sometimes require some modifications to it to fit around other components on your motherboard. All together a very good product for a good price. |

Cons: NONE Absolutely None!
Pros: Man this thing rocks, no leaks, and amazing temps, i have my core 2 duo e4300 at 3.2GHZ with 1.5 Volts, and my temps dont get above 40 celcius unless im in a hardcore gaming session, and most of that prolly comes from my friggin 8800 ultra Comment:
Core 2 Duo e4300 z 3.2GHZ-evga 680i mobo-4 gigs of ocz gold ddr2 800 z 900MHZ-MSI NX8800 ultra OC edition (liquid cooled!) -twin western digital 320GB sata drives-custom swiftech liquid cooling system |
I changed the block from the stock one on my Kandalf LCS and my temps dropped by about 8°C. Needless to say I am very satisfied, except I much prefer higher quality compression fittings, overall they improve my confidence in my wc setup.There are many other blocks that outperform this one at similar prices so it is not that great a purchase overall.
