Is this thing worth 139?

TekeTorvo · May 25, 2005

I have been looking into a WC system, but evertime I got to This one, I always bypassed it because 199 was too much. Well, it is 139 now. Is it worth it?

It's the Aqua-Gate water cooling kit ALC-U01-U1 system.

Kits are not always what they look like. I would definately consitter buying yourself each part individually and putting it together, youll be much happier with your temps.

In my opinion, no. High-end air will get you to the same place as this kit and for a few $ less.

An MCW6002 or DTek WhiteWater along with a DTek Pro Core (and your choice of fan) & a Via Aqua 1300 or 1800 would serve you much better than that kit & would be less $$$.

no

, im on the crappy 1/4 tubing Koolance Exos and its getting higher temps compared to my hs&f Vantec Areoflow but with water the overclockage has HUGELY increased.

odds are it cant even mount to your system.

I would go for the AquaGate mini R120 versus the regular Aquagate. Bigger rad, less restriction and less components to deal with. Plus inexpensive to boot!

i vote for a custom built system, different parts from the vendors that are best in their area.

Save yout save money Buy Thermaltake Tower112 heatsink with dual 92mm fans, this when it's loud peforms as well as water. It will bit any of the outside case watercooling systems

1 more vote for custom... or atleast a vote for "screw the self-contained WC units and get a decent kit at the very least"

check out some of swiftech's new kits like this: http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/swh2licokitr1.html

its a great kit, pretty inexpensive for something that outperforms just about any other pre-built kit (only ~$215 after you select a block at the bottom of the page)

plus if you're looking to cool your GPU as well, you can pick up one of these as well: http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/swifmcgpucoo1.html

so if you're looking to WC, save up some cash and buy a kit like i just showed you, or just go all out and do a DIY setup
