    Watercooling is becoming as mainstream as building your own pc is. Soon Dell and gateway will be offering "XTREME Watercooled©" Performance.

    but to stay on topic -
    Bad kit as far as I can tell

    Just read one of the reviews - How can you have a 3.8c temp difference between stock and overclocked IDLE and 1.8c temp difference at LOAD? Is there any way that that test wasnt completely incorrect?

    those are some pretty screwy numbers i have to admit... a little fishy if u ask me... but this kit does smell so fish is what it must smell like...

    dagoof, well maybe if everyone does it the kits might get better... or they will form a coalition of crappines...
