nVENTIVs reply to LS?

man i see everyone just jumping on the quotes from the nventiv and asetek..

listen there is alot that goes into making one of these coolers.and making claims as far as how fast someone can overclock one or how fast they can go is just claims.and some are true .

but listen just because a unit says it has a cpu running at 5000mhz or 4700mhz....who cares..this means little to nothing to me...and shouldnt to anyone else.because that is all in the cpu/motherboard and most of all the guy setting the system up.

the cooler running the coldest doesnt mean it will reach the highest overclock..it just means IT HAS THE PROTENTIAL TO OVERCLOCK THE HIGHEST.

we all know nventiv has one of the best overclockers in the world setting up there rig..JC is a great overclocker..and if he worked for asetek he may have gotten his rig to the same or even better clocks with a asetek unit cooling it.

so guys dont ever base you buying on how fast a unit is shown running in mhz..

and because both companys have there own test procedures in placing loads on the evaps...you really cannt say one is wrong or right..as far as how accurate the readouts are..well they should have that right.it should be reading the actuall evap temp..not evaperating gas temp.
nventiv have had some serious issues with temp readouts on there mach II's and i am guessing they have tried to correct the problem(although i will find out for sure in my test)

and there should be another thing to consider when buying a unit...looks..price...proformance...and instalation ease..

installing and changing out cpus with ease should be at the top of the list in buying one right after proformance...
think about it guys...how many times do you have to swap out the cpu and motherboard in a 6 month period of time...

so that is a big thing i think...

as i am hoping to find out...as i do not normally install a nventiv evap to a motherboard..it will be new to me too.so i will see which one is the easiest to install and remove....that will be one of my last tests i plan to run, is actual motherboard/cpu testing.

lol, crack a joke and spawn a flood.

I just want to read the review. I myself forsee no extra cash for a new phase system.

My next major purchase is a wooden swingset/fort for my son. He knows the basics of computers at just 3, he can even cold boot his from start AND then launch his Thomas game or Reader Rabbit.

But once he sees that swing set for his birthday in July STAND BACK! :D



edited for spelling like huked n foniks

I ordered a Asetek Vapochill LS just now from Kit-tronics, I dunno bout you but I'm tired of waiting :rolleyes:

And I'm an impulse buyer so I always screw myself lol...

But provided I will be happy with this as long as:

It cools better than 0C on load when OC, and that it doesn't piss all over my machine.

I dunno but I really just wanted the Lian Li Kit with the phase change and I didn't feel like shelling out another 150-200 just for the kit.

Lemme know what you guys think.

You asked for it. I think you're nuts to order either one at this point.
What exactly did you base your purchase decision on....the alignment of the planets and the phase of the moon?

Wait until you have some solid facts before you make an expensive decision like that. ;)

TheDude: Where's your Mach II GT review?:banana:

Ready in a couple of days...waiting on nVENTIV comments and then final edit.

GRRRR now I'm going to cancel my order and wait for the review!

:rolleyes:

TheDude: Great - looking forward to it!:)

It's a short review dealing only with the changes between the MachII and the MachII-GT models. You will need impartial info on the LS model also before you can make an informed purchase decision.

I know, and will wait for bowman's dual, triple or how many is it(?) test comin' up.

lol `schr0et.... :D

I think i can wait a bit longer ;)

Btw: TheDude will your review be posted on the front page of xtremesystems.org?

well even though if bowman proclaim nVentiv as the winner of the "compressor-cooling-competition" i dont think i will buy a gt...based on the following:

1) i cant stand that with gt you have to buy lsd, lian-li-kit and cpu-mounting-kit...the cpu-kit i understand. but hunestly, who would buy a that expensive cooling system like ls/gt is when its in a enlight case???

2) the vapochill-support is really great!

3) the price difference will not performance difference(if nventiv is better)

but since i dont have $8xx right know, im still eager after knowing the ls/gt performance, quality and installation difference!!!

Well now that the dust has settled from the blowout, perhaps we can read his review somewhere.

I will keep on plugging with my mach 1, its been very kind to my amd xp2100 and epox 8rda+, gained about 500mhz more than even water could provide :)

12X 210fsb =2.730ghz rock stable after testing 24 hours woo hoo

The Mach1 is awesome!!! Don't get caught up in the newest systems out there when you have a very capable cooler.

I have my stock Mach1 running a 2500XP-m at 2850MHz solid... 24/7, full-load. ;)

And hopefully late this week or maybe early next week I'll be getting my R507 mod'd Mach1 back from Chilly1... I can't wait to see what that will do to these mobile chips. :eek:

Basically I spent $1100 getting two Mach1 coolers... one with the R507 mod. I'd take this route over and over and over again instead of buying one Vapochill or Mach2(ST, GT, etc). :D

Yeah I would pay to have Chilly mod mine too, but with the workload hes under I would be in line for a while lol.

I am still still looking local for someone I can trust to do the mod. I saved and saved to be able to swing my mach 1. My son comes first and then theres the house, car payment, toys for him, clothes, working on my masters aieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I need to win the lotto, then I can have a custom dual evaporator head system built lol.

Still want to read bowmans review should he choose to post it anywhere.

:lol: I hear you. I've basically used up all my "hobby" money for the rest of the year. ;)

well, with the summer comming I am definitly going to be considering a phase change system. I've wanted one for a while and I think that it is finally going to be time to give myself a treat. I'm excited to read both thedudes reveiw and especially bowmans. I think that bowmans review will really give everyone an idea of which unit is right for them. It will help prove which unit will cool the best and show how well the cheaper moded units compare to the new units.
