Aquacomputer Aquaduct 240 Review

jmke · 27th July 2007, 18:01

MOST PC PC water cooling kits come from various, more and less reputable, Taiwan vendors. So we were pleased to find a rare European firm in this area, Aquacomputer, with a pretty comprehensive line of gadgets - and unique designa to boot. Here, we look at the Aquaduct 240 kit, a midrange setup, on two boards - Asus' Striker Extreme and ECS' PN32-SLI+ Nvidia reference design. Both boards use the Nforce 680i chipset, which provides high performance - FSB, memory, I/O, you name it - at a cost of extreme heat, the highest of any PC chipset up to date. ECS board used Intel's QX6800 quad-core CPU, while Asus relied on the usual Xeon 3230. Both were fed by ThermalTake's Toughpower 1000 power supply.

What does the "country of original" tag say? "Made in China"?
