    Corsair Hydrocool200EX Watercooling

    In summary, however, Corsair's Hydrocool200EX betters the initial design and manages to cut the asking price into the bargain. Watercooling needn't be difficult, Corsair has proved that again. It's fun, it's easy, and it's recommended

    I'm diving (get it) into water cooling in the not too distant future. I will not, however, be going for a kit - I shall be mixing a matching.

    I guess I'm braver than some, but I'm also a pretty experienced modder, so I guess that's where it comes from.

    Nonetheless, that looks like a reasonable piece of kit for the price. Certinaly something I'd point others too should they want "easy but extreme" cooling.

    A nice review, Tarinder!

    How extreme is it though . I admit its easy, which is good, but for a system that only includes a CPU block and costs £186 or so you are clearly paying dearly for the ease of use. Although it does bring temps a good bit lower than aircooling it still isnt as good as most "seperates" systems.

    Saying that the simplicity of installation and the self sealing connectors are very impressive for a water cooling system .

    It is designed to be a full solution - and ease of use not as a 'spec your own' system.

    To be fair I was reluctant to use the term extreme cooling, but at the end of the day, until a big manufacturer puts it in one of their boxes, that's what it is.

    Yeah well it is extreme in that it is kind of unheard of by most people but IMO the performance isnt quite up to being called "extreme".

    I realise, David, that it is designed to be a full system but is there any reason why the performance couldnt have been slightly better? Afterall with all their/Delphi's technical expertise yud think they could come up with something pretty powerful.

    It is a great system - mine runs great and has my 2.8C M0 running at 266MHz. And everyone should remember that this kit with its monitoring system shouldn't be sneezed at - and running off your PSU to make sure a pump failure doesn't destroy your system is a definite plus.
