CORSAIR COOL GOOD?

[edmundoab]

Im a total noob in water cooling.
Corsair one looks affordable

Im thinking of socket 939 AMD 64

 

[HardWarrior]

Can you be more specific?

 

[drpootums]

Ya, Maybe a little more info will help...

 

[edmundoab]

what kind of information do you want?

I'm thinking of a AMD 64 3000+
Maybe a DFI NF4 Ultra no SLI
I want to keep my system cool in a tropical country.
Where temps can go as high as 35 to 36 C in the afternoon

Planning to close my case to reduce dust intake, So i figure water cooling should be viable even though costing more.

The Corsair one looks exactly the same as the Switech, just with a weaker looking pump and weird reservoir.

If you mean the DDC it isn't week at all. In fact it's a little more powerful than the D4 only with less noise from what I understand. The molded res is currently the best on the market. In general it's a good kit for a beginner.

 

[edmundoab]

so it would be a good buy then?
I saw thermaltake aquarius too, although costing over 200 bucks.

It sure looks huge as an external cooling

 

[HardWarrior]

It's a good starter kit with solid parts and a bit of expansion built in. Yeah, I'd say that it's a good buy.

 

[edmundoab]

cool. and thanks for the feedback,.
I hope the assembly isn't too complicated as compared to simple airflow

 

[HardWarrior]

It's going to be more complex, but the process isn't difficult. Remember to wet-run (test it) away from your machine. It's also good practice to run it IN your un-powered machine for a while as well. Start researching your coolant now. It's a very important aspect of your cooler and how well it works for the long haul.

GL, ed. If you have any more questions just ask. :thumbsup:

 

[edmundoab]

Coolant?
Isn't that provided in the kit itself?

Does it require replenishing after some time?

 

[HardWarrior]

Yeah, I guess it is. 🙂

Corsair's Specially Formulated Coolant:

Specially formulated green coolant offers superior cooling qualities with corrosion inhibitors added to the coolant to protect your system.

 

[edmundoab]

will be interesting to see how long I would need to fix up the entire water cooling system.
LOL,
looks nasty from the corsairmemory website on PDF file

Look on the bright side. You'll have your Doctorate in water-cooling as soon as you're done. 🙂
