Default Coolermaster Aquagate water cooling system..better than BT??

ok basicaly i want to get a cheap water cooling kit and saw the coolermaster http://www.eclipse-computers.com/pro...=HFC-AQUAMINI8
but was thinking will it be better than my thermaltake BT..because it does do a very good job by keeping my cpu at 40 degrees full load at 1.75v...would the aqua gate do better or would it be just a wate of money?

I have a friend with one of these systems. It is loud and I personally believe that a TT BT is pretty much as useful with only a few degrees of differential temperature drop (load).

So I say that it is pretty much a waste of money for someone with a BT to move to the Aquagate.

1.75V is WAAAYY too high for a venice. It should be under 1.55.

iff i got a $ everytime i heard that idd be pretty rich by now...but also ive said alot of times..my cpu is from outside of the waffer..so it requires alot of voltage to get higher than 2.4ghz...and its at 2.6ghz nw...i cant even get to 2.65ghz stable with 1.75v but at 2.6 it is...but my load temps are under 40 anyway...so im not too bothered...and thanks for that info ropey...i think il stick with my BT
