    I actually doesn't work like that though..it tends to blow the warm air onto the components actually causing them to heat up.

    Hmmm well aquagate's perform pretty badly .. so I would stick with the genminII ... and maybe use some higher CFM fans (80CFM<)

    well i swapped geminII with aquagate,and i am very pleased with performance...

    pros: more space in case,better cooling for about 7 degrees
    cons: filling the water

    Why not have them both suck hot air away from the motherboard then?

    It doesn't work very well for cooling the CPU that way round.

    Either way you do it, you lose. lol

    A mate has one and swapped it to a thermalright extreme 120 because it was pretty hopeless.
