DH Review: Corsair Nautilus 500

_______________________

We looked at Corsairs last attempt at water-cooling “Cool” some time ago now and it is true to say we were impressed with the kit.

The installation was extremely easy for a water-cooling product and this was matched by equally good performance. Recently Corsair announced the Nautilus water-cooling system which aims to improve on the Cool in all areas.

Hahaha now that you mention it, yeah sort of.

Dunno it's interesting but I personally don't have the possiblity of using such a machine (I can't put it on the top of the case or anything) and it's a bit too big (by looking at the pics).

But for begginers, it's a GREAT piece of kit!

(btw, good review as usual)

interesting setup, being leary as hell of water cooling myself, I may be tempted to try a setup like that if I had the chance to

nice looking peice of kit indeed!

"high" mode seems a tad pointless though, only dropping an extra degree or 2 in exchange for 500 or so RPMs on the fan system

Looks pretty cool....also looks a right nightmare to set-up/maintain...

I thought it looked pretty easy to set up (it's all relative i know - this is no nautilus) but it does have push in connections and nice thin tube for bending around the case etc.

I am very tempted to get this kit when conroe comes out and I try Intel for the first time in my life :P (benchies dependent, well and price

)

If i do I will tell yo all how it goes :P
