is this a good kit?

[Coolio]

i was just wondering if this is a good kit and is it worth the money. Remember this is in canadian dollars

64 cents US = 1 cdn dollar (i think)here is the kit

that comes out to about 312.50 in US right. thats a little steep but dont know anything about the performance.
Might be worth it!!

I recently saw a water cooling combo here in this furum for around $249-$270 (US). I don't remember the name but it was based on a spiral interior core. It is a new product I think. I have seen others too for less. You can look into Koolance and get the whole case and cooling as a setup. Don't know about thier prices.

PS: I was going by the price mentioned above, but after looking at there site I think it's about $215. If that right it's not bad.
Keep looking.

IMHO, no!!!!!! It's a waste of your money because:

1. The reservoir leaks
2. The radiator is lousy and there is no easy way to attach to a case except ties. No way to get the fan on except ties.
3. The water block clip is a poor design and flimsy. I wouldn't trust it to keep a block on a CPU.
4. I wouldn't use vinyl hose.
5. The pump is Ok, but overpriced.

The only decent component is the water block. I received this kit from Leufken's Tech and now it's in my closet, somewhere. You'd save a lot of money by picking your own components. The kits don't make the installation any easier.

Good luck!

yeah I saw a link for a kit a few days ago dont know where it went but it looked pretty cool Black water block...
Well it didnt look like it hurts the wallet so bad but dont know much about the performance...

Does anyone know the link to that kit
I think it was a company from the UK

Kit is not worth the money.

Think your Calculation is backwards. Its $200 CAD therefore its about 130 USD.

That seems to be less than some of the advertised kits from American sites. You could get alot better with a little research and get most of you parts from the local hardware/autoparts/pet store. The system will probably cost about the same (or less)and you will get alot of the top-of-the line cooling parts.

My 2cents

The price/performance ratio for that thing will not be as great as a different kit from someplace like Swiftech or Danger Den. The radiator is not one of the more efficient ones, but it would work. I agree, hard to mount to case and fans.

I would spend a little more and you could get a better kit from dangerden or overclockershideout.

Heck, he might even spend less on a better kit from other companies.
