I’ve never water cooled anything before. The other day I get a coupon from evga saying I can get 30% off certain items. Among them is the cooler in the thread title.
So I looked around and found very little in the way of reviews. What I did find suggests this cooler will at least be a tad better than the cheap CoolerMaster air cooler I’m using now. And it would take up way less space. I bought it for 70 bucks shipped.
Why this small single fan & radiator cooler and not a 240 or 280? It’s the only one that will fit my case. It’s going to be mounted on the rear exhaust port after I remove the hard wired 120mm case fan. I should just buy a new, huge and awesome tempered glass case (drool) but this old Antec 902 has one big advantage. It can move a shit ton of air with a reasonable noise level. And I like it. A lot of folks think it’s ugly but I don’t care.
Opinions on this please. I’d like to hear from those with experience using small closed loop coolers. Did I waste my money on this? I’m hoping I didn’t. I’d like to push my chip to the magically delicious 5 gigasquirt g-spot.
Thank for reading.
