The results:
I was very pleasantly surprised with the results of the Qpower,
it"s very quiet and does perform quite good. After installing the Epox 8KHA+,
I installed an Epox 8K3A+ together with a XP1700+ AGOIA, this resulted in some
heavy overclocking, at vcore of 2.2v the XP1700+ was running at 1900Mhz, temps
remained steady at 50°C fully stressed. Pretty decent, since there is NO pelt/tec in
the system. Performance wise the QPower is very impressive when pushing to the
limit.
And now the results, I compared the Epox 8KHA+ with XP1600+ @
1785Mhz with 1.85v. Aircooled & QPower cooled. Gamer"s rig which is also using an Epox 8KHA+ and a XP1900+ @ 1801 with 1.81v was thrown in for comparison.
case temperature is amazing when using watercooling
Voila! All that work for a measly 4°C less. Just kidding
though, I"d switch to watercooling any day knowing that I don"t have to use
earplugs when entering my room. The Qpower is a very complete watercooling product
which provides silent cooling to the masses at an affordable price. Here in
Belgium it costs you 525€. It"s not as cheap as Gamer"s custom watercooling.
But it takes less effort to install and is more plug & play solution then
the whole hand-made affair.
I hope you enjoyed reading this article and I hope you don"t forget
