Well I received the package from newegg yesterday along side a new shiny AIUHB 2100XP. Installation just took me about 30 minutes, everything was included. I first tried it with my original AMD2100XP Pally and what a difference it made. I run an Asus A7M266 512mb pc2400 with this setup and with a Volcano 7+ and the highest setting my computer would do 45C idle 52C full load (Prime95). I could only overclock this chip with the V7+ up to 1820mhz (140mhz x 13) and this at a vcore of 1.85 @ almost 60C full load (man do Pallies get hot). With the AquariusII temps now are 38C idle 45C full load, but this is at 2067mhz!! (159*13 @ 1.85v). So I might not get 31~32C, temps but hey, I did not spend a grip of money, took 30 min of my time and I got one hell of a deal.
Now about the new ThourB 2100XP, short story it will not run in my motherboard so I am going hunting for a new one.
Really though, this Water Cooling Kit took me by suprise on how good it actually worked (and is dead silent). I do not know how in the world some people can bash a product so hard before trying it out first. True this is not top of the line but what the hell is not some average crap either, so I say highly recommended for people who are tired of huge heatsinks and loud fans but want to venture in the water cooling realm, will definently beat the best heatsinks out there.
Some tips,
Lap the water block, mine came pretty good, I just had to use some 1200 paper. Read the instructions, specially on how to assemble the clip if you are going to use it.
Anyone else has bought this kit, I would like to see how others have fair.
