h2o setup I've got is almost extremely silent. Keeps a 1800+ @ 2200 @ 1.87 Vcore @ ~40° stressed, maximum. | |

| I think that atm the slk-800 is the best cooling you can get in price/performance terms and slk's don't have the intention to 'stop working' or something like that |

| your maximum temp mobo temp: 40°C CPU temp: 57°C now let's increase my room temp to equal your mobo temp mobo temp: 40°C cpu temp: 48°C now let's deduct the fact that I'm using 1.92v compared to your 1.82v. In general 0.1v difference lowers your temps with 5-10°C so mobo temp: 40°C CPU temp: 43°C that's a full 14°C difference between the 2 quite alot don't you think? and the fact the SLK800 costs half of the Water-X only increases the fact that I cannot recommend the Water-X to anyone :-) going over 50°C with an Athlon system sets you 1 foot into danger zone. passing 60°C will lead to lock-ups if you plan to overclock you need temps below 45°C , otherwise you will be severly limited in the max. OC you can achieve ps: why do I get the strange feeling you are trying to promote this product..

| real.genius, so anyway because the water-x cpu cooler is one of the lowest priced water coolers on the market and so compact and has usable stable temperature controll I feel I can recommend it as a high heat capacity low cost water cooler. And what do you think about my idea of putting a computer into one of those low cost frost free mini refrigerators? |

| did you check the review? http://207.44.142.144//forums/showth...threadid=10262 the water-x doesn't come close to performance of even a budget watercooling kit. Costs more then high-end aircooling & has worse performance. an SLK800 or SLK900 with a silent fan still beats this Water-X, even with high casetemps :-) Quote:
place some good fans in the frig to make cold air move around & you are set. Insulate the outgoing cables pretty good, so no "warm" air can get into the frig! but you're going to need a pretty strong frig if you want to really make a noticable difference. Since most refrigerators are designed to slowly cool down objects that don't produce heat themselves. So placing a PC inthere will have the frig.working overtime, make sure it can handle this another solution you can try, is going for watercooling & placing the reservoir & pump in a good refrigerator, thereby cooling the water & providing better temperatures

| By tweaking the air flow in my water-x unit I have been able to achieve very stable performance.cpu fan rpm 5800 and pump rpm of 1800 and case fan of 5400 I was able to achieve the following after hours of real time running case temp37c/cpu57c heavy processor loading case 41c/ cpu 59c idle temp case 37c/ cpu 57c By the way, I checked the prices of slk800 there very expensive and they dont have a fan. I buy most of my cpu coolers with fans, I am not sold on passive cooling performance. |

my athlon xp @ 12.5*170 @ 56° under load and this is silent, as in reallly silent, with a heatsink that performes worse than an slk 800 (pal 8045) this thing is totally not recommendable | |
