Default Thermaltake Aquarius II Liquid Cooling

I'm planning on buying this kit. It would be my first experience with watercooling.

Now i'm using a rather crappy silent coolermaster fan. These are my temps with it



That's idle temp with my case OPEN. If i close my case my cpu temp goes up to 63, idle ...not good.

My question is, would this be a good kit to start with? Or are there cheaper and better performing WC solutions?

lemme know!

ow, i could got for a HSF combo because it's way cheaper, but I don't want an airplane on my desk

Duron is working on a comparison between some all-in-one WC kits, including this one

first impressions are that it is rather aimed at people who look for a silent solution, rather then a very performant one.

but I think you will get better temps (40°C) under load, then with your current setup

hmm I have this thing too...
in a very badly ventilated case (no intake, one outtake slow papst) put next to the central heating.

@ roomtemp 23°C :

folding @ 1.70 volts @ 2270 mhz (t'bred) on asus nforce2 (ondietemp on this mobo is said to be very high in measurement) : boardtemp 32°, socket temp 40°, cpu ondietemp : 51°C

idle for some hours : 30°board, socket 37°C, cpu ondietemp 44°C


for me I wanted this setup on the workingpc coz it needs to be silent.
It has a modded silent psu, it has passive cooling on the gpu, it has aquarius on cpu, and one silent papst outtake, so it is silent as hell, you hear a distant humm and that's it...

if you put a howling delta on the (minirad) of the aquarius : you'll have paid about 200 euro with shipping (160+15+shipping) a,nd you'll get better temps but it ain't no overclocking cooling...
I got 2450 mhz totally stable out of this system with an slk800 with standard fan, with the aquarius, I'm stuck at 2300 max stable at same voltage

get yourself an slk800/900 with a papst fan (36 cfm or so) and the noise will be equivalent but the aircooler will be better.
