AC Aquadrive dual

[granulf]

I sort of got quite a lot of money on my hands at the moment, and my hard drive is warm and noisy. So I thought I could buy a hard drive cooler :) . So I wondered if anyone got any experience with the AC Aquadrive dual? I've only found one review yet: http://www.xtremecomputing.co.uk/review.php?id=272&page=5

Is it a big problem it's made of aluminium? The rest of my setup is only copper I think. It's anodiazed, will it still pose a problem? I haven't found any similar products for sale yet... :slapass: . And will it add a lot of restriction? Not a huge problem though if it does.

Fillports from Danger Den are Aluminium Made (I think) Anodiazed and many people still dont like it and their having problems.

Well I already have a danger den fillport, but it's never in contact with the water really :) . I've never had any problems

Well I already have a danger den fillport, but it's never in contact with the water really :) . I've never had any problemsthe condensation in the T-line will make contact with the fillport, not to mention eventually the anodization will wear off at some point.

Ok, I don't worry about that to be honest ;) . But I ran across this for the same price: http://www.alphacool.de/xt/product_info.php/products_id/538/cPath/5_18_22/hard-disk-water-coolers/hdd-watercool-silentstar-hd-dual:.html
Would it be a better choice? How's noise insulation? Noise is my biggest concern...

Corrosion doesn't worry you.....!?!?!? lol but seriously once the anodization wears off your gonna get ssscccrrrreeewwweeddd....

Ok, but it's important for me to reduce noise as much as possible, so I would need lots of insulation :stick: . Do you know if it's enough space in the case to add some extra insulation?
And btw, is it restrictive mate?

[eLw00d]

I heard the insulation is allready very good but I think there´s also room for some modding.
I´ll search @ forumdeluxx. There are some reports.

I´m actually creating a case by myself using two CD drive cases and some bitumen / foam material.

I searched the forums a bit, although my german isn't all that steady(damn you school!), but it appears to me the silent star would be the best, plus it's copper not alu :) . Hopefully they will come in stock soon... :stick:

[eLw00d]

Well they say the insulation layers are a bit too thin.
For me , the price would be too high.
I took those copper waterblocks for 40 € and I´ll build the case be myself.

Well I haven't find only the naked core yet for sale, so I'd have to go for the case as well...

www.watercool.de ;)

here you can get "2nd choice" components and save a bit money like me:

my waterblocks have a small scratch and so i could get them for ~40€.
In my insulation-box, those scratches can´t be seen. So it doesn´t matter.

Yeah, but it's german :p:

[eLw00d]

where do you live and what does the shipping cost ?

I'm in norway, so I suspect it could might be very expensive? I think so :p:

[eLw00d]

Just ask Rico from watercool and maybe it isn´t as expensive as you think.

Is that a guy from the forums here? The problem is I have to pay 25% vat, but then again I can remove german vat(16%). Well, I'll be gone on a vacation for two weeks now, so I'll figure it out later. France, here I come! :cool: :toast:

[eLw00d]

Look at the second link I gave you, that´s Rico. A watercool coworker. ;)

I hope you´ll enjoy you´re time at france. Paris is a nice city. :)

Ok, I'll check it out.

No Paris for this guy, I'll be cruising around in a 43 footer through the channels! I just realised I'm gonna get myself killed in this diesel monster... :slapass:

Yes because we "don't worry about that" cause it can't harm anything... right? :slap:

If we are thinking of the same fillport there's no reason water/coolant should be constantly in contact with it. :confused:
