Thermaltake Aquarius III

Just to let you know, that kit is one of the worst ones on the market. A phat copper cooler with a decent fan will get the same temps more or less. If you really want to go for a kit, get the Koolance Exos. But even that cant beat making your own, which isnt that hard. Just talk to people on the water-cooling sub-thread and they'll help you get the right parts to make your own kit which will beat the aquarius in any and every way.
Oh and btw, shorten ya sig, 10 lines max.

The aquagate is better than the aquarius, but still doesnt compare to a custom system.
Have to remember that a pre-made kit wont be much better if at all better compared to an xp-120 or sp-94 heatsink. Sound is the only real reason to get an all-in-one kit, as they're somewhat more quiet than a phat fan on a phat heatsink
If i had to go for an all-in-one kit, it'd be an Exos. But you can buy really good swiftech or danger-den kits (has the individual parts, you install it) such as the H20-120 or 220.
But overall, if your a keen overclocker, getting a custom kit is the only real way to go. If you want a quieter system or just an intro in the the water cooling scene, then the aquagate or exos would be a good place to start.
Hope this helps, and if you have any w/c'ing questions, just ask in the sub-thread and people will be glad to help. Have a good one

So its that crappy? The review I read they got 36C underload on the Number 2 fan settings. I've built watercooled systems before, used thermoelectrics, took a 1ghz AXIA to 1.8ghz @ 0C underload, and built a waterblock from an old heatsink. So I know watercooling. I've just been out of the Overclocking and cooling loop for a while.
