Cons: - plastic barbs aren't very stylish and seem flimsy when removing tubing- Tubing is a little difficult to install & very difficult to remove from fittings (if you need to change the loop. The tightness is a pro normally)- the pump is large and can be hard to mount in cases. It doesn't fit in the PSU/pump area on my Obsidian 800D.- MCW60 needs more RAMsinks for GTX260 cards and similar.
Pros: - Inclusive kit; everything you need is here- Decent fans keep good airflow at low RPM but also are extremely high performance at full voltage/RPM (loud though)- Quiet pump, quiet overall if you run fans at lower RPM- Comes with loads of mounting hardware- excellent value compared to buying parts separately - 7/16" ID tubing is virtually leakproof Comment:
Fantastic value for a starter watercooling kit. Extremely good performance even with all three waterblocks installed in the loop. Excluding the MCW60 for the GPU, the kit is still cheaper than buying parts separately.Due to case size issues I originally had just the CPU and chipset coolers installed. Temperatures dropped 10-15 degrees compared to aircooling and fan speed (running off motherboard's CPU fan controller) never went above 1200 RPM under normal use, staying very quiet. This is on a Q6600 B3 overclocked to 3Ghz.After getting a new case I put in the GPU block as well. Load and idle temps increased a few degrees and under load the fans ramp up more due to the decreased coolant flow, but it's still running cooler and quieter than on air.I'm extremely impressed with this kit and I'll never go back to air cooling again. The noise reduction and cooling performance increase is incredible. For a starting entry to water cooling, this is the kit to get. If you find it on sale it's an absolute steal. |
This water cooling is great! It's my first time to install a water cooling, and it was the hardest part to build a gaming computer. The effort worth to install it. Great stuff! I recommand it for every gaming computer!
