Hello all,
I am thinking about the Koolance wattercooling
cases. I have a few questions though.

-The case will be used in a commercial enviroment.
-Noise Level is a needs to be SILENT, extreamly quiet!
-I want to use a koolance insted of making my own for
this project.

My questions are to Koolance sace owners, others please
post your quetions here too.

1)
How loud is the Mid Koolance (PC2-C), The Large Tower (PC2-601), and if any of you have it the 1U rackmount (RM2-1U).
I am asking either in Decibels or by ear, remember it MUST
be silent. Whats it sound like in mode 1 & 3?

2)
Will the koolance pumps be powerfull enough to pump
watter through the stuff it comes with, CPU Block, Chipset Block,
HDD Cooler, but 3 video blocks insted of one.

The cards are only nVidia Vanta PCI Cards, not that powerfull.
The rest of the "to be cooled" setup is:
AMD T-Bird 1400Mhz
AK31 Mainboard
1 IBM 40GB 7200RPM HDD Drive

3)
Also if you know how many GPH the pumps are please post it.

i have the Koolance Mid tower and i run a CPU< MOBO, GPU, and HDD water block

i have a P4 1.7Ghz(socket423) running at 1955Mhz, a Geforce 3 overclocked, and a 10000 RPM SCSI HDD

My temps at full load never hit higher than 27C

although it hit 32 C but that was because the heater was on in hte apartment, still not bad though

in other words, it has never got hot enough to autimatically switch the fans from i think 45% to 100%

One of my friends has had both the original Koolance case and the new one, and they are both silent running, except for the hard drive. He's cooling his GPU, CPU, and chipset, and gets really good temps. Better than my setup.

How many GPH is 1,030cc/min?

Do you think that it will handel
the cpu, chipset, 1 HDD, and 3
video cards? I know it will heat
wise but I am conserned about
the pump system, although it
looks very effective.

The pump system is ablew to handle the heat loads. I believe the flow rate of the pumps is around half a gallon per minute. Pretty low, but still effective.

Ok, I think i am going to buy a few.

Were do you all buy your koolances from?
I want the best deal, mainly because I have
to buy all the optional stuff & more!
