Are these noisy?

Noise should not be an issue with that system. It is not intended as a 24/7 solution, it is meant to be used to benchmark and not much else. The gas used (r410a) is a very high pressure gas and I would hate to leave that running unattended or without a set of guages hooked up to monitor high side pressures. This should not be used by someone unfamiliar with phase change systems. You would be much better off with a couple of units, 1 for cpu and a second with dual evaps for gpu's, they could be done with a lot safer gas and would have no problem running 24/7.
 
It makes about as much noise as a refridgerator makes with the compressor running plus the noise of a high speed 120 mm fan.
 
Just seems to be a waste to not be used full time.

No wonder expendible (LN2) is so popular for the benchmark lovers. 😉

If I could only tap into the chilled water loop. CPU/GPU/NB/SB/ etc running at a steady 10C. Now that would be cool. 😀

1- it is a waste, but no more so than spending thousands on a car to make it faster 😉

2- LN2 is so popular for 2 reasons; A- it gets better temps than almost any phase change system (-180c), B- it is much easier and cheaper to buy an LN2/Dry Ice tube and learn to use it than it is to learn to build your own phase system. ( I like phase change better because I can overclock for hours and don't have to worry about running out of LN2/Dry Ice... just flip a switch and go 😀)

3- a 10c or better loop is very easy to accomplish with a phase change chiller. I use one on my gpu along with a direct die system on the cpu. A good chiller can be a great 24/7 cooler and mantain good temps with minimal noise.
 
I think they've properly disclosed what the unit does and what it costs. Saying it's "not worth it" is so subjective here. Yes, as I've always said, youy'll only get another 15% farther on your clocks by going compressed gas over good quality water cooling, but let's say that extra 15% keeps you from having to make a $2,500.00 upgrade in order to run a given application? Not only would you pocket about $500.00 U.S. now, but then you'd have this unit for when you finally did upgrade and probably to something better and/or cheaper than what others would get by having to make the mommaboard jump as often.

So you can see, it is quite subjective to not just your needs, but sometimes even to your hearts desire which another 15% all around over water on an SLI is at least as valid as disco lights and neon colored water!

Maybe you should quit saying that 😉... it makes it obvoius you know nothing about phase change cooling.
 
My information is NOT my own opinion, but the opinion of Craig Computers, so go whine to them because I'm not about to debate it!
