Never seen anything like this before...looks like some sort of Asetek/Swiftech love child.

EDIT: That's not my auction :)
 
83 cfm out of a 25mm thick 120mm fan at 25 dba...I don't think so...and I thought Thermaltake was bad with their fan specs.
 
Just noticed. Need to be careful with the pump.

It's an AC powered pump, rated for 220-240VAC operation.

Gonna be no good for North America unless they're offering 110VAC rated pumps for guys on 110VAC power.
 
they cost half the price they selling on ebay in HK/China
very low quality compare to any US/german watercooling

The fan might be 21db.. if the measurements are taken from far away enough from it. ;)

I think that's actually Thermaltake testing procedure isn't it?

1. Set up noisy device in a BIG room.
2. Set up sound pressure mike next to noisy device
3. Move sound pressure mike 1 meter further away from noisy device
4. Note dBA reading. If dBA reading is >21dBA, go to step 3, else go to step 5
5. Record the readout on the sound pressure mike. If readout is fluctating over a range of values, record the lowest value seen. If still unsure, pick any value seen (so long as it is at or under 21dBA) and subtract 5dBA from it, and record that value as the noisy device's noise rating.

Wow, Cathar, you give them a lot of credit! I just assumed that their SPL readings came from whichever hallucinogen they were on when they designed those awful Xaser cases.
 
Looks like a good kit to me if you could get it in 120V. Im sure shipping will make it too expensive..

A classic :D

Listen to what nigely says as he lives in the neck of the woods where this was made.
 
It really depends on how close the factory spec compares to real world ratings. TT is the worst example.

I like to use Yate Loon fans as they are pretty close to factory spec in the real world setting.

Back to topic, that bingchi water block remind me of old DD blocks for some reason.
 
i was also looking at these auctions as well. they claim that their chipset blocks clear dfi boards and work with sli. is there any reviews on these kits?

Have not seen a review, but if it were hooked up to Robotetch's bench I would say slightly less performance than a Swifty 6000 series block.
 
I'm actually thinking of buying one of those kits from eBay. Do you guys think it is worth the money (£60...$110 for a full kit)? I certainly thought so...

Oh and for a review on the kit (the only review i have seen so far) look here. If you guys don't fancy reading Dutch (which i imagine you won't) you can translate the page at Freetranslation.com but the benchmarks are fairly self-explanatory.

Any comments would be appreciated as i went to another forum and they all said it was rubbish without any prior knowledge about the kit and just made assumptions!

EDIT:

I summarised the main temperature differences through screen-dumping the image and editing a few details that were irrelevant (like GPU temps during Prime95) and aligned the text up properly. Here is the image:
