Im researching the H20 kits and Im just wondering which water block + radiator kit is better. Personally I own three MCX462's and am really impressed with quality and performance that Swiftech shows in its products.

So I think im going for the Swiftech kit , but adding my own two120mm sunnons (106cfm's!! there so powerful and quiete ) .
What are your thoughts guys, think this setup is better than innovateks and if it can handle clock speeds past 1850Mhzz??:beer:

Tomshardware.com has a review of both head to head ............ the innovatek wins in his book but many say that he was biased etc.

Go and check it for yourself.

Those guys over at tomshardware somethimes don't
seem to have a clue.

There is a review on our own frontpage. Does anyone
ever look at the front page?:eh?:

Why don't you get the Innovatek and do your own
report. Variety is the spice of life.....

Yeah if i had he cash for two kits i definetly spend the bucks, but im limited to $300 for one H2O setup, and i still think that the swiftech with better fans on the radiator willl be the best !

I suggest going with the Innovatek kit (not the flat flow waterblock, the high performance one) or building your own cooling system with just the Swiftech waterblock - buy your own radiator, tubing, and eheim pump. The Swiftech kits seem to come with crappy heat exchangers(radiators) that are all aluminum - I suggest gettin a radiator with some copper + a 120mm fan to go with it (high cfm and low noise).

I Strongly agree.. I used to visit that site, but I rarely do now.. Oh and concerning the water blocks, i'd choose the swiftech. that's what i'll probably get when i get some money to afford a watercooled system.
