Hey guys, i just need some info if you have any experience with this kit. Im quite the noob in watercooling, just so you know.
I dont want any hardcore watercooling stuff, i just want to be able to get some better temps with my case closed. Dust is really a problem and i dont feel like cleaning my taped-on dust filters every week so i want a watercooling kit. This one catched my eye due to quite the attractive price. This doesnt perform the best, i know, and i dont need any other reccomendations. All i want to know is if this kit is ok, doesnt have any major flaws or has terrible quality. thx in advance

Oh, and i slept 2hrs last night so i need some sleep now. Hope to find some replies tomorrow

Yeah, from what i know its a rather decent kit for the price point. . .but apparently the plastic reservoir is made of cheap plastice so you have to be careful . . .im going to get one (in the next month hopefully) because i have the aurora case that its designed to go with. . . But the reviews i have read have been promising. . .all saying a decent temp drop. . .

Here are some reviews i had im my favs . . from trustworthy sites:

i just read a review, where a guy has 26c (and the radiator fan is at minimum). Thats pretty cool. Seems like ill go for this kit then

DanNEBTD

mootin

ive got it

its an ok kit, for the price its amazing

however the cpu block really needs some work, mine was dull and didnt feel smooth

i just cba to lap it

the res is good, its all sturdy

biggest problem is my uv lights arent bright enough to make the tubes glow

Thanks a million for the post Ill see if i can get some lapping stuff. My UV lights btw are stroong so these will look awesome

Very nice kit in my opinion. I have it in my armor case with extra res, gpu and an extra radiator. I didn't have any problem with it yet.

Nice, so the pump is strong enough for a GPUblock too? Thats awesome. (Fill in your system specs btw )

And i will post pictures and results btw, gonna pick the kit up and assemble it tomorrow

Ok guys, i got this thing running. Looks awesome, but there is one flaw... The pump. It gives this ever so annoying low humming sound, and also skirky sounds.. Read a few reviews that also mentioned this. However, theres a PC in my local PC store with this kit, that runs like 24/7. It seemed very quiet, could barely hear the Skirky sounds, and alot less frequent. Maybe its just cause my pump is new and thats a tad older/more used.

Anyhoo, once i get my cathodes mounted again, ill post some pics. BTW, temps

Idle Temp: 26-27
Load temp: 32
(this is on the lowest rad-fan setting)

However, my pump is blocking the way kinda from the side of my case to the VGA card... giving it pretty high temps. Think the highest i recorded it at was 86C. Maybe i should get a GPU waterblock? and a new, SILENT pump w reservoir

what i did with the pump was put it on sum foam, made it realy quiet damn your gettin way better temps than i am
you will have to get some pics up gj
