I remember this one time, when that HD4870x2 Watercooled solution from Sapphire (I think) came out and everyone was so skeptical about it etc. and then they did a review and it worked out extremely well.

Give it a chance.

reviews always work out... the reviews are why idiots keep buying the crap. of course it works fine for the 1/2 day they test it... and of course even this crap manages to outperform the stock cooler they compare it to...
but after a week, you'll start seeing cracks and leaks... pumps dying... yes, THAT soon. reviewers just want to get free parts mostly... they smack an award on pretty much anything.

give it a chance... to destroy your system.


please, for the love of the PC gods, and our systems, DONT. EVER. POST. THAT. AGAIN. if a newbie reads it he may actually go out and buy it. do YOU want to be responsible for the mess?

people coming to Fry's shouldnt have the option of something that can destroy their PC, i dont think the average Fry's customer is knowledgeable enough.

Very true.

I've had 1 of their kits, and have install/used 2 other kits, and they are definitely not too bad these days. Nothing any one here would use, but for new folks it beats the living crap out of those junky Gigabyte kits.

It makes me laugh when people rag on tt watercooling because mine has been running strong without ANY problems for the last 2 years. Yes, I understand that DD and swiftech makes great watercooling but just because you paid 2x more $ doesn't mean you got 2x the performance / reliability.
