vapochill PE or mach (1)

[Zalam]

Hi..

I want to buy some serious cooling. I have been offered a second handed vapochill PE and a second handed mach(1), but I dont know which one I shall choose, there is a powersupply together with the vapo (a enermax 460W also second handed). They costs excatly the same.

[Pandrone]

i would choose the mach1.

[Marci]

MkI definitely & undisputably, unless you want a decent degree of easy mobility from yer rig... in which case the Vapo...

[Zalam]

Then I would buy the Mach 1. how does a mach 1 with R404A preform ?

[Ragnarok]

like a Mach II GT :)

[Zalam]

Really? Then theres no doubt about it.. I will buy the Mach 1 and get et moddet with R404A.. :D

The Vapo unit is also nice cause it`s all in one case, and it has a ton of room on the inside too, lots of HDD bays and room for water cooling too if you want to add it in the future.

[Zalam]

I know, but in the future I will buy lian kit -:)

and welcome to the forums :toast:

u made a good choice with the mach 1

what will it be cooling? :D

[Zalam]

right now a barton 2800+, but I have just brought a 1700+ with a extreme stepping from a friend, and when socket 939 comes I will buy a athlon 64.

MACH I, a MUCH MUCH MUCH more solid design. Seriously, I have a mach I, mach II, and vapochill LS, and I cant stand the fact taht the Vapochill LS , being the new flagship model for Asetek, uses a weak plastic clamshell, and neoprene foam for its condensation proofing. I like the solid massive block and hermaphatic cells with the seal string on the Nventiv designs.

[Ragnarok]

and the vapo LS is full of typical asetek bull :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:..

GG designed for big loads my arse

lol I recognize so many names from overclockers.com forums lol

[pkrew]

Time will tell, but it seems to work just fine. The choice between the XE and the mach I is a easy mach I pick.

[Zalam]

After I have thought about it, I wonder if it´s possible to have a Mach 1 with you to a lan party, because if it isn´t I will buy the Vapo, Because I go to lan parties very offen.

[Omega1]

Of coarse its possible maybe not practical but it depends how strong you are:D

[Exempt]

The vapo is much heavier than my mach I and Mach II units, though I dont see why, I took the little b*tch apart to fix the cheap PCB/fancontroller, the compressor is smaller than the one in my mach I , so go figure ... Seriously, buy the Nventiv, this is coming from someone with a Vapo unit, what does that tell you lol....

[Zalam]

Okay.. But I am in this situartion, that I havent ever seen a Mach 1 og tried to carry one, but I have tried to carry a vapo and I dont think it is so heavy, but I have read on diffrent sites that the mach 1 should be very heavy about 30-40kg.. And the vapo only about 20-30kg
Is these the right "kg´s" ?

[Exempt]

lol Im american, we dont use kg, we use pounds, buut, then again, I don't think that either of the two should be carried to a LAN game, or even moved around for that matter.

[Zalam]

okay.. I didnt know that you are using pounds, because I am danish, and we use kilo´s

[pkrew]

Its 2.2 lbs/kilo. I wonder how I know that :D
