Swiftech H20-220-APEX-GT vs CoolIT SYSTEMS FREEZONE Thermoelectric CPU Cooler

[kevin1978]

I am completely new to watercooling and therefore I prefer usng a kit.
I have read good reviews of the following:
Swiftech H20-220-APEX-GT

CoolIT SYSTEMS FREEZONE Thermoelectric CPU Cooler - Retail.

I'm planning to overclock a QX6850 as much as possible. Which of the two kits is better?. Any other recommendations
are more than welcome.

take a look at www.petrastechshop.com

they have excellent service and parts there.

I'm in the same boat. I have read the watercooling guide but it sorts of scares me away.
New G0 chip can reach 4Ghz with air cooling, oh well.
It would be nice to start with a kit.

Not all G0 chips can do that.... overclocking is pretty much a crap shoot...

both of you try petras, their elite kit is excellent. Just make sure u get the MCR320QP if u have the room for it. Conversely they will ship it without the rad and u could get a wicked thermochill one... but that is fairly extreme....

watercooling isn't all that bad, i did my first setup about a month ago...

This is a double post. Can this be deleted?

Similar advice was posted on the other one guys. Everybody's pretty much on the same page.

now where the heck are you getting this info?

My ES does 4.0 on the Highest Tier water cooling setup. And that keeps it in check. And my ES is G0, and its Cherry picked.

So tell me how you intend to get a retail G0 to 4.0ghz on AIR? Tiramisu's benches arent prime stable, and did you look at his vcore voltage? 1.5Vcore +


Okey...
