"Jetart Aquacool Liquid Cooling System"
Joe Citarella - 8/25/04

page 1 of 2

SUMMARY: Entry level kit with modest performance.

System

The good guys at Jetart were nice enough to send samples of the Aquacool Liquid Cooling System watercooling kit.

Key Features:

  • Copper radiator (3" x 4" face) and aluminum case
  • Blue light LCD monitor

    LCD

  • 92 mm double ball bearing fan, adjustable to 1550–3100 rpm, 25 ~ 35 dBA
  • AC Waterpump, 230 lph, head 0.8 meters
  • Adjustable CPU temp & fan speed alarms
  • Remote temperature sensor
  • Aluminum Alloy Case
  • Easy fill port and water level indicator
  • Mounting clips for P4 and Socket A
The front shows the LCD, adjustment knob and fill port:

Front

Filling the system is better than most kits I've seen - the funnel-like front allows users to easily fill the system without using an eyedropper. A minor annoyance: The thread on the cap requires precisely locating it to screw on - maybe it's me, but it took a few tries to get it right.

The unit has alarm adjustments for temperature and fan state - if the temp is exceeded or the fan stops, the alarm will sound. The knob also controls fan speed - it should be turned slowly to dial in fan speeds.

The back

Back

shows the waterpump, tubing and wiring. The bottom

Bottom

shows the radiator - the fan pulls air from the top and exhausts through the bottom (IMHO the reverse of what I would have done). The top

Top

shows the 92mm fan intake - very clean looking top. The waterblock

WB

features a dimpled copper base with a plastic top. A look inside

WB Open

clearly shows the dimpled base and the flow directors built into the plastic top. Tubing is secured to the top with screw connectors. The base

Base

is polished and smooth - no discernable polishing marks to the eye or touch.
