TEST RESULTS
The XSPC X2O was tested using the CPU Die Simulator. Noise was measured 8" from the fan's intake with a Radio Shack sound meter; 50 dBA at this distance is very quiet 3 feet from the fan.

Results place the XSPC X2O in the upper rank of watercooling kits tested to date (Watercooling Kits Ranking) - this is a very good showing for an entry level kit. Fan noise is not obtrusive at all - noticeable but not objectionable.
CONCLUSIONS
XSPC's X2O Watercooling Kit does quite well compared to other entry level watercooling kits - its performance is really quite good for its size. While not a "performance" kit by any means, its ease of installation and performance warrant a serious look for those looking for good, quiet cooling.
Thanks again to XSPC for sending this our way.
