I saw a cheap water cooling kit being reviewed in a Chinese PC Mag here in HK and there's a WCing kit that's being sold for just US$38, or HK$300. It includes a Radiator, Pump, tubes, NorthBridge, CPU and Graphics Card waterblocks, but no reservoir (no need to buy one, has a fill bleed system included already). The pump and the radiator is included in one sleep plastic box that fits over the back of the computer and screws onto the PSU so that the fan on the PSU is the fan that drives air though the radiator.
It uses a pump rated at 260L/hr dunno how many GPH that translates into and runs off a 230V mains.
It achieved pretty poor results, reaching in excess of 60 degrees load on an AthlonXP 3200+ stock speeds, which i think is because of the hot air from the PSU blowing through the radiator and water temps were in the low 40s.
Do you think it's worth getting?
Im thinking of putting it on my NB and graphics card (i have a Thermalright SP-94 on the CPU), then modding my PSU and putting in a high speed, high CFM fan instead of the old low speed one to counteract the hot air.
