I find it good to know that stuff in the event I needed to build a rig for a friend / family member.
![biggrin.gif]( "biggrin.gif")
Really don't want one or need one. My EK blocks do their job just fine (probably way better than that thing too). I just like know what companies charge for that stuff and I wanted to see more information that backed up their claims other than "overclocks up to 5.2Ghz obtained".Originally Posted by Vagrant Storm
maybe that is the difference of a system with the cooler and one with the standard aircooling? Though in that situation there would probably be some extra labor for installation. (though installing one of these would probably be no harder than an aircooler...possibly even easier depending on what heat sink they are using, but I am sure they would charge more for it anyway)
Also, I am sure if you contacted them and asked them for a price they would give you one. I am sure they would sell you one if you want.

Oh I wasn't thinking you did...I just thought you were curious of the price is all. I am too. I think I will actually inquire about just purchasing it separately. It is always possible they won't sell it separately anyway. I've seen places do stuff like that before for no good reason.Originally Posted by vulpecula

It could be the warranty that is offered with all in one coolers. For example if any corsair H series coolers leak, corsair will replace any components that were damaged by the leak.Originally Posted by XNine
I really don't get the appeal of the all-in-one units. I had a Corsair H50, wasn't impressed, so I moved on to full watercooling. For 200 bucks you could get a decent loop built with far better temps than any all-in-one could ever provide. Just makes zero sense to spend the money when high-end aircoolers work as well or slightly better.

That was my first reaction as well...I thought, "The hell? Is EA building PCs now?"Originally Posted by DaClownie
How can they use Origin and Frostbyte without EA breathing down their necks? The obvious assumption is that a gaming PC with those names is somehow affiliated with EA...

It's funny that they choose frostbyte, but OriginPC has been in business longer than EA dubbed that the new name of their download service.Originally Posted by DaClownie

Didn't know that about OriginPC before though. I've never really paid any attention to prebuilt other than the companies that make laptops as well.

Well at least all-in-one coolers can now actually out perform air coolers. Still that thing will be very hard to fit in most cases and at the end of the day custom loops are still better in price and performance.

The giant heatsink is also a draw back of using air cooling. My d-14 is freaking huge and the extra weight probably isn't good on the motherboard.Originally Posted by XNine

Weight of the current high-end air coolers is a non issue. Yes they are big and heavy but they do fit in most setups and I know of no instances where air coolers have damaged a motherboard or CPU other then extreme shock during transport.Originally Posted by d-block

I don't think weight is a major concern, there's actually more weight when you put waterblocks on your cpu and gpu then there would be with traditional aircooling.
I suppose all-in-ones would be a bad idea in very small chassis or Lan Rigs, but for a full-blown gaming/desktop rig, I would think a custom loop would be the way to go, just my opinion.
