Is Aquarius 3 any good?

has anyone here had any experience with the thermaltake aquarius 3 kit? is it any good? what temps does it manage? should i get this or something else - recomendations?
my choices are currently - (in preference order)
aquarius 3
some other water cooling rig
the vapochill amd titanium extreme
promethia mach 2 (only last because i cant find anywhere that sells a suitable psu that meets the required specs and wont die)

thanks

liquid cooling and phase change are as different as air and liquid. If I had the money I would definately go phase change.

As for the Aquarius, here is a review from tweaktown.

this dude auctioned one in the box for $138 US.


and here and here are a couple disscusions about it right from these forums.

It dosen't look good for the Aquarius!

IMO there hasn't been a kit yet that's worth buying.

Good Luck and welcome to the world of WC (or is it gonna be phase change) well whatever

Peace

Vrykyl, most people in the forum don't recommend buying a kit, and you probably can build a better water cooling setup by getting all the pieces separately. I did not have the time to do this, so I bought the D-tek Flowmaster XT kit sold HERE. I got, and would highly recommend, you get the White Water CPU block and the Eheim 1250 pump. I have been very pleased with this kit so far.

I am running this kit on my P4 2.4C @ 3.5 GHz at 1.60 volts. My CPU temp dropped by about 11C versus the SLK-900 and TT SF II fan. My ambient temp is running about 26C and my CPU load temp is running about 33C.
