Hi guys,

I am new to this forum (I was on Tom's Hardware) and I was wondering if this is a good liquid cooler for the price? I ordered one and it should be arriving on Monday:

I was about to get the Thermaltake Bigwater A80 http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product...82E16835106205
but then I read the crap reviews so I stayed away from it and saw the Intel one and got that one instead.

Has anyone had any experiences with the Intel water-cooling system? I know it's probably better than thermaltake but it's still not as good as the Antec or CM ones but for $60 I'm not complaining (the Hyper Evo 212 I'm using now is missing one screw so only 3/4 of the legs are screwed on to the heatsink).

dude i would rage.

thats not a proper way to secure a heat sink to a ihs.
nor is that the most efficient way either.

im betting ur individual core temps is all over the place on each core.

I installed it on Monday and so far everything's been running fine (no leaks, breaks, etc). Temps are roughly the same as with my Evo 212 at idle (27 C-30 C) but when under load I am noticing a 6-7 C decrease from my Hyper Evo 212 air cooler. Pretty good considering I got it for only $60.

I might just build my own water-cooling system once I get the handle of it lol.
