Hailea HC-500 or HC-1000 Any Good For Water Chilling?

HC-500A review

Despite lots of guys at XS don't like Hailea's because in terms of xtreme chillers because they hardly can go subzero, the Hailea's are still fun toys for cooling your hardware better then a few big radiators ever could do. Even the HC500 should be enough for your needs.

Markost: How much temperature gain do you get when you turn on the chiller? (cpu temp)

Normal watercooling gave me 40 degrees C CPU temp ( idle 4.2GHZ ) at 24 degrees ambient. All temps measured via "Core Temp" 0.99.3

HC1000 cools it down to whatever I set on the Chillers display regardless of overclock ( currently 4.4GHz ) and that's with both video cards at the same temp ( again at idle ).

If I set the chiller to 17 degrees, my CPU temp at idle is 17 degrees !..........Prime 95 ( In place large FFT's ) take CPU temps up to 48 - 50 at 4.4 GHz

The HC1000 holds those water temps no problems at all at full load.

I've had my run at extreme temps ( sub zero )....too much hassle. I use my machine for business and it has to be 100% reliable 100% of the time.

Although, a QX9650 at 4.4GHz should gain entry into the lower end of "Xtreme"
