Introduction:Vantec offered us the possibility to take a look at their all-in-one water-cooling kit, the Stingray.
This company has come a long way offering various air cooling products. Water cooling is of course another step forward for cooling your computer; let's take a look at what they have to offer:
Let's start with the box of course, being perhaps the less important item of the kit:
A nice ocean blue box, but we need what's inside:
First thing you notice, the manual ( I'd suggest you read if you are new to water-cooling) and about 2 meters of tubing. What's hiding in the middle is a funnel, very helpful in case you have to fill up a reservoir with a tiny hole.
The box at your right unveils a cooling lubricate, labeled as Vantec's home made coolant:
Also inside are lots of clips and other material to mount the various water blocks and Vantec's own thermal paste. You'll also notice a PCI bracket which has 4 holes where you can nicely insert your tubing, no drilling necessary.
