damm 5 Ghz, since its an intel part do you think that would be under warranty?
assuming of course this is made...

any thoughts?

Oh, man what a joke.

The team, led by thermal mechanical engineer Gavin Stanley, spent an awful lot of time looking at current watercooling kits and systems on the market. They all shared several flaws, he told us: that they were complex to assemble, had a short life, consisted of too many different parts and used flimsy tubing.
I run my cooling setup 24 X 7 on my machine, for the better part of a year now, these guys have no idea what they are doing. And as far as complex? I suppose if you have issues attaching plastic clips and adding water, it may seem complex to you.

Nice design, an internal radiator, thats funny. Nothing cools like hot case air blow through a small radiator.

I actually like what they're doing.. if watercooling goes mainstream, watercooling parts will go down in price(as will extreme cooling parts)..

as far as internal radiator goes.. its still better than air cooling, and it really depends on the case..

No not really, I had higher CPU temps with an internal radiator then I did with a standard CPU fan, water retains heat very, very well, air just gets exhausted. That's a pretty crummy design right there, just not much of a bonus.

my reservoir is actually internal.. used to cool a peltier unit.. I'm pretty sure its much cooler than my XP-120

it really depends on the case

My reservoir is internal as well, however my 72 row radiator is external to the case, and supplied only cool air, in fact it hangs off the back of the case on a bracket that I welded on. I'm hitting 19 to 20C under load, 16-17 at idle, prior to that it was much higher, like 35-40c.

They should have set it up so that the pipes exit the back of the case, then the 120mm fan and rad on the back or top.

I meant to say radiator, but I was thinking about something else at the time..

both my reservoir, and my radiator are internal.. but my needs are probably not the same as yours..

I need to keep the peltier cool enough so that it doesn't burn itself up..

Do you guys use water or radiator fluid for a car in your systems?

I used distilled water, with a few ounces of "Red Line Water Wetter" at first, now I use distilled water and MCT-5 from Danger Den, helps keep the pumps lubricated.
