Well guys I just bought a COOLER MASTER RL-HUC-E8U1 Liquid Cooling System off of newegg because its $26 after MIR!

I just want to know if its a decent water cooler that will get its job done and if the radiator is not loud. Maybe feedback from COOLER MASTER RL-HUC-E8U1 Liquid Cooling System owners? Thanks!

ill post pics up when it arrives and after installing into comp.
 
Uhm... Don't expect fantasic performance.

Expect it to perform about as well as the best of the best aircoolers...

Considering it's cheaper than those aircoolers, it's a good deal!

I'd expect it to range between 28 and 31dba overall noise.
 
Thanks! I want something quieter then my cpu+system fan, ill let ya guys know how it all turns out. Stay tuned!
 
I just ordered one also. I dont even know what I am going to do with it because I am in the process of building a W/C setup, maybe give it to my little brother ;)
For the price you cant beat and if it works as good as tuniq tower which costs more that is great!

I actually built my little brothers computer for him and payed for all the parts $1500 :) but he is in dental school and when he gets out and starts making the flow he will owe me big time :p
UPS man just dropped it off I still cant believe the price with all the crap in the box
 
haha.

Well got it yesterday afternoon, installed afternoon and completed everything this morning. Its 2degrees celcius hotter then air cooling but definitly quiter.... unless I turn up the fan speed to fan speed 2 then its LOUD and fan speed 3 IS LOOOUD..


Sorry for caps... dramatization :D

*EDIT*
I will post pics up tommorrow after church.
 
Sorry for the delay, but I promise I will get the picture up by tonight!
 
I just installed the one on my brothers computer last night. it was pretty easy to install and did not take much time at all. Temps are a better then his stock AMD Heatsink. The tubing is as hard as crap and the little hose clamps suck they both snapped off but for the price I cant really complain. The highest setting on the Rad fan was making my ears bleed so I am sure he will leave it at the lower setting. I also did not do any leak testing first, I was getting tired and had a long drive home and so far he has not called me up crying that his computer case is now a fish bowl :D . The first thing I would do is change out the tubing it was that bad.
 
Yea the tubing was REALLY hard to work with, but then I got out a sizzor(I know I spelled it wrong) that my dad had in his tool bagand it work REALLY well, so that saved lots of time. Well any ways here are the pictures that I promised you guys.

Image #1 Laugh at the cable management all you want. The red card Is an Ati FireGl x3 256(AGP/ dual dvi/workstation card). HAHA yup an ati. This card is my dad and man let me tell you it pwns, and roughly about the same as a nvidia 7800 even though the firegl x3 was made in 2004. But for dx10cards nvidia pwns cause ati has none yet! and the 8900 will beat the r600. SO my name goes for the dx10 nvidia cards. The second one is for the cooler master and the third is a dual channel 10/100/1000 ethernet pci x card since the NIC on my gigabyte's motherboard died.

Image 2 Using it as external. Ontop of a Thermaltake Swing case. Sorry for blurry Image.

Image 3 Upclose showing temperature. These temps are right after boot up.

*EDIT* the case and wc unit is under my desk, if anybody was wondering.
