AQUAGATE Mini R80 / R120

[faye]

Hi all,

I have the Asus A8N-SLI with AMD A64 3200+ with Coolermaster 534 case.

Is it efficient?
actually i am looking for a budget watercool or even HSF if it is better than watercooling.

any suggestions?

I have a r120, and I dont know what to say about the performance. When I took it out of the box, the lapping is horrible, the whole copper piece that makes contact with the cpu is very badly scratched. And I am lazy, and have yet to lap it.
So remember, you may have to lap it before you put it on.

so i guess may be you got a used version or say a defects.

but have you installed it yet? and how is goes?

Look at the Scythe Ninja with a Nexus, Yate Loon, or Sanyo Denkai fan at 5v.

cheap and watercooling shouldnt be in the same sentence. But to answer your question, i have used these guys in cube cases. there hella lot better then the shuttle system, and also hands down the best for x-pack.

Dont expect these guys to be that much greater then say a ninja or big typhoon. Heat pipe technology kicks butt! But they will give u the quiet you want and enough cooling for a moderate, and i say moderate overclock.

this thing looks need definitely, but the price is huge too.
The one that i (Aquagate Mini R80), i can get it like $60 ...

so how are they compared.

My PC-60s has 2 intake 80mm fans that cool my hdds while providing air for case at same time. The LLs has the best designed cases, so maybe that's why I never noticed this before, until I read this thread. I just took it for granted while trying to make my case quieter with Yate Loon fans. The case sell for $99 at Newegg and the YL sell for $4.99 on eBay.
Wow, the prices for hdd cooling devices.
I quess I got lucky when I got LLs.

The thermaltake silent water is around $100. Its quiet, and it preforms better than the aquagate (in reviews).
I think the case with my aqaugate was that its just terribly rough on the bottom. And i bought it new, so it shouldnt have been.
It would probably preforms better for you, but I suggest you get a Thermaltake Silent water.

I got the Aquagate R120 today.
I know there are better, but i got this for a reasonable price .. for $60..

anyways, i have some questions..
i can turn the nob to choose the speed of the bigger fan which is installed on on the rear.. is there a fan for the cpu too?

I found that it drops the temperature for around 8 to 9C. even after i push the fsb from 220 to 225. (AMD A64 3200+)

I believe this liquid cooling is at least better than any HSF combo cooling.

has anyone seen any leaking yet?

 

[faye]

questions again...
will you feel the liquid moving when it is on?

i mean when i turn on my system, i can only see the rear fan(120mm) is running, then everything is dead silence..
