One of the better options out is the Koolance Exos Al. Self contained,
quiet, easy to set up, good cooling, and good looking. It also can sit right on top of your case, and if the situation requires it, be easily transferred to another case/system. I have two systems that are watercooled. One is in a Swiftech QPower (not available any more unfortunately) and the other is the Koolance. I get temps that are very close with both systems. Room temp (I live in the desert) stays pretty steady at 28c and according to MBM, my case temps stay at 32/33c with the processor ranging from 34c at idle to 44c after two hours of intense flight simming. Since I was looking for a way to keep the system temps within reason while trying not to break the bank with high elec. bills ( a/c uses a LOT), water cooling was the best way for me. Two sites that are very good to check out are http://www.hardocp.com/ http://www.overclockers.com/ They both have lots of good reviews and information and also a host of links. Also check out the hardware.overclocking newsgroup. Trust me, the thought of watercooling might be scary, but it is reasonably simple to do, and if done properly (like using the Koolance or something similar) is also safe. My Swiftech system has been running for almost a year now with no problems and the Koolance system for three months.

Which water cooling system would you suggest me? It MUST look nice, cool at least good as Zalman CNPS700A-AlCu, and (optinal) have cooler for GPU.. Here is what I was thinking about: Zalmas Reserator 1 http://www.zalmanusa.com/usa/product...p?idx=63&code= Thermaltake Aquarius III http://www.thermaltake.com/coolers/aquarius/a1681.htm Does anyone have any experience with those? I'll use it for overclocking. Thanks.... |
