First of all what are they commonly know as?
Im making a computer up for someone using a c2d and I want to OC it somewhat using
water but as its not mine I want something that is unlikely (theoretically) to go wrong.
I have seen them advertised but I cant remember the names. So any links and group reviews
would be handy. Ideally around £50, they dont have to be great but obviously better than air
and quieter.
Any suggestions?
i know coolriver do one, i think that would fit
coolriver deluxe.
to be honest, I still can't see how these work, I have a Corsair Nautillus 500 and I have to top it up, im testing a thermaltake setup at the moment and top up is recommended every 6 months.
I cannot see how these can work effectively and more to the point, last for a while.
As an aside the Corsair kit is very easy and whats more copes fine with my 3.4 Extreme Edition.
cheap watercooling kits are usually no better than decent air cooling, i think kustom were doing an asetek kit for 49 quid a while back, a few people on here seemed to like it.
if you are testing a thermaltake kit DO NOT USE the coolant that comes with them i have a tt rocket and after 2 months the cheap crap coolant had lined all of the pipes and blocks and was blocking them slowlyQuote:

Hmm If ready filled need topping up then like you say there seems little point.
I know i saw one in micromart ill have so try and find it and see if it does or not.
But no doubt such a thing doesnt exist. How often do they need topping up?
thanks for the replies.
A list of online shops which have a good range of stuff would be helpful.
already had a look at kustom. overclockers, and scan
If you really want a closed, no maintenance loop, look at this ;http://www.coolitsystems.com/index.p...ask=view&id=79
It's expensive for what it is and won't fit into some cases, but it is completely sealed and requires no end user intervention.
I remember seeing that a couple of months ago... a bit bloody expensive though.
But at least I now know such a thing exists.
