No and I don't even have to look at it. NEVER EVER buy a watercooling kit. They aren't any better than hsf. They can't be upgraded and they are a waste of money. Buy each part individually and put it together that way. It will be cheaper and 10X more efficient. Once again, NEVER buy a kit.

Re: This water cooling kit any good?
Depends on how hot your CPU is running at.
My friend gave this to me to try out KOOLANCE EXOS-2 EX2-750BK 120mm Black Cooling Systems OMG, if you get this it will not only drop your CPU temp by 18C but it allows for some outrageous overclocking. I overclocked my 3500+ to 2.7 ghz with no problems, that brought me a little over my regluar temp without the cooling system. So if you want the best go with that one. If not your will do.

Re: This water cooling kit any good?
I would agree-NO KITS! BUT, you gotta read the reviews on THIS particular kit. Nothing but good reviews, in fact so good that it compares to higher end WC builds on top end by 2c-3c degrees. I just installed one on my rig, HUGE difference compared to a ZALMAN. It took 14c degrees off my load temps, and 3c-4c off my idle. That is with the fan setting on low for the radiator. I was sceptical, but it turned out to be a great starter for me. I'm sure for others, it may not be the same result's.

Re: This water cooling kit any good?
Yeah, i agree, the big typhoon is great (a bit big, but it does the job very well with it's 6 copper heatpipes) and custom DD is best. The only good non custom WC kit is the Koolance APEX, and that costs like 300 bucks, and DD custom WC is WAY cheaper than that.Originally posted by NoniThermaltake Big typhoon for AIR

Re: This water cooling kit any good?
Yes, please don't buy a kit, it's like buying a pre-built computer (oh the horror!)
Custom is the way to go.
