Greetings Gents,

I just hooked this puppy up tn. Anyone that wants to get into some entry level water cooling with great results, check this out. :idea:

What a slick low fuss quick install return for the effort/cost. I instantly knocked 10c off my CPU loaded temps. I installed this on a AMD64 x2 4400 oc'd several hundred mhz's. I read quite a bit first on topic, and decided that this was the way to go for the first jump. There are many other routes to go that would yeild lower temps, but I doubt that they are any where near as simple as this kit. I had this hooked up in less than 15 minutes, and I took my time and actually read the instructions.

Fun fun fun. :cool: :cool: :cool:

HI, I use a Cooler Master aquagate mini on my Xp3200 and never see temps above 108F...I got it on Ebay for less than $100, installs easily and is fairly quite too :D

I've been considering water cooling. How much quieter are they?

Because at the end of the day, that's all I want it for...

I've gotten so used to the fans noise that it doesn't bother me anymore. In fact, it's when the computer is off that I sense an akward silence... :lol:

drezha,

This unit has a high a low fan setting, and on the low setting its pretty quiet, much more so than the hord of fan's I had running in the case.
