Corsair HydroCool?

How will they fare for overclocking?

Ive read pretty much all the reviews Ive found, about 6 or so, and they never REALLY address overclocking the way I'd like. Are they worth the money over air to do overclocking? Are they as good as/better than/easier to use than other water kits available when overclocking?


Ive never done water before, Im using a CoolerMaster HHC-001 w/ 80mm Antec LED 34cfm fan, soon to be switched to a YSTech adjustable as soon as I buy a Barton 2500+.. 🙂


worth the $220?
 
Overclockers comparison of Watercooling and Heatsinks

As you can see the HydroCool is the top dog for kits and pretty close to the top for anything. And if you scroll way down you will find your CoolerMaster HHC-001 with a 36CFM fan which doesn't even come close. As you can see it takes on hell of a heatsink coupled with a jet engine to beat out the HydroCool, even at the low fan speed setting. So not only is it a better cooler, but it will also be quieter.
 
Im in the process of building an externally kept water cooling unit. Bought a 8x8x4 weatherproof box from work, a statuary pump 454lph, some brass fittings and some clamps. Got the radiator from dtekcustoms out of the scratch and dent section, 120V 120MM fan from allelectronics that pushes 130CFM. All this just so I can do a watercooling project on a video card soon. Im going to use the swiftech MCW50-T. If you just count the external box and tubing, I probably spent roughly 100 dollars. I just cant see spending 200-250 bux for something I built for half the cost.

Btw, thanks to all the people that help me track down the 120V 120MM fan. Was getting worried I wouldnt find one!
