Got me some new watercooling... Swiftech Fs020-H20-C

Asmoday · Apr 5, 2003, 12:53 AM

I decided to try something else and bought me [color=yellow]this[/color] puppy.
I wanted some good and QUIET watercooling and since i'm very lazy i didn't wanna go through the hassle of building it all my self i bought this pre-assembled h2O solution....i must say that it is very quiet and perfoms very well ..i'm idling as i type @...31.5c..and i ran sandra burn-in benchmark for approx. 1 hour and it never went past 35c

The only downside with this case is that is pretty ugly...

but hopefully that uglyness can be somewhat fixed with a decent window mod...

ps. I got the newer revision that has the mcw5000 waterblock...

Oh my it's only $400 for the standard version!

I'd rather spend that money on a new AMD Barton 3000+

Most probably. The case has already four fans, and then there's still the compressor... so I don't think this is the right solution for people who want it as silent as possible

Compressor???....what are you talking about???

....and the four fans is pretty damn quiet...for me the loudest component is the chipset fan..the 120mm fans just gives a low hum....

Yep...so far i'm VERY happy with it....i just got to either watercool the northbridge or put a passive cooler on it.cause this orb on the nf7 is loud as hell!!!

The thing whose task it is to keep the water circulating. It generally isn't very silent and often needs cooling itself.

Well, even if they're low-noise 30db fans, it sure adds up if there are four of them...

Asmoday · Apr 6, 2003, 02:38 AM

Errh...i take it that you're not very familiar with watercooling....its a pump(that's a big difference from compressor) that circulates the water...and i've never seen a waterpump that needed extra cooling...

and i can say that neither this pump or any other pumps i've seen/used are very loud,you can barely hear it even if you put your ear next to it.

And i very much doubt that these four fans are much louder than 30db combined all together....

EDIT: It's actually approx. 34db.....i don't find that very loud considering the cooling you get....i suggest you take the time reading up on a subject before you get all to negative about stuff....
