No no no no............. Reserator = sh*tty kit radiator that is passive and crap, you would get better perf from a cheap 120.2 _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.

Aha so we dont rate zalman?? To me water cooling is a hard topic to get to grips with as i know no good brands. In main computer componets I know the good manufacturers from the bad *e.g. Asus are One of the best (my opinion the best) motherboard manufacturers... *wink wink P5K3 Deluxe  * I would be happy if i could know a good kit thats less than £150 Any help would be appricated... Take a gander at this system i watched a review on is it any good   Review below  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmcZ3KyfiPACheers mayte  _________________Intel Q6600 The Fast 1  at 3.0GHz Asus P5k3 Deluxe - The Expensive 1 4gb DDR3 - The Cheap 1 9600GT 512mb DDR3 - the noisy 1

Well they've started off well and supplied a good pump at least (Laing DDC), don't recognise the CPU block. I'm being picky, but I do not like that type of hose clip.
I found a couple of reviews that suggest it provides OK cooling, but not a great deal better than a high end HSF - maybe a few degrees at best.
How much is it listed at? I've only seen one price at around £200 on amazon. For that kind of money I'd expect much better performance.

It uses push pins I am yet to see something that provides good cooling compared to a proper bolt down method What is wrong with jubilee clips? They provide a good seal For a kit... Swiftech to a good one with a 120.2 rad but it's like £200, for that you can get a good kit Like I said Brad, you need to get some pre-owned bits, i'll probably have my Thermochill PA120.3 for sale soon (and a dual bay reservoir), but you really need Pump - Laing do the best pumps, D4/5 or the DDC really should be what to get or a rebranded one Radiator - Thermochill, Black Ice, Swiftech do decent radiators CPU Block - Swiftech Apogee (You can use a T-Line if your can't afford/fit a res) Then tubing etc CPU blocks and radiator you can get pre-owned, pump I'd be inclined to get new _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.

Theres nothing wrong with jubilee clips, and I agree they do provide a good seal. That kit doesn't come with jubilee clips!

Possibly the worst kit ever created. Doesn't even come close to air cooling iirc

Tuniq 120 CPU fan
Scythe Musashi
FAR better air cooling than most kits, law of diminishing returns to the upgrade though, you spend more for not much better

Ditto as I should have a bay res (or 2) as well as the radiator I will sell when you are interested
Radiator won't fit in any of the cases I have (except the stacker but I plan to sell that) or cases I am looking to buy so looking at a different radiator anyway

I am so impressed that you managed to incorrectly spell Fin's name twice... You used different spellings and they were both wrong! _________________John Vella BSc (Hons), PGCE - Still the official forum prankster and crude remarker  Sorry  I'll behave now. Promise
