Koolance CPU-200 waterblock

[Aman99]

Any of you Koolance users tried out the new CPU-200 waterblock? Does it have much performance difference over the CPU-100? Also how hard is it to install, do I need to put new tubing in, or can I use the tubing I used on my old waterblock? Thanks in advance for replies!

I have it on my Koolance 601 tower. It is very easy to install; it comes with two sets of clips, one for the 478 Pentium 4 northwood boards, and one for AMD sockets...It clips right over the cpu by lining up holes in the bracket with stubs on the sides of the AMD cpu assembly. I can't speak to performance since I don't have the old one, but it seems well designed; there is alot of surface area inside the channel, and the area in contact with the CPU core is silver. I believe your old tubes will work with it also.
