Chris, I have found the Koolances, when performing on cue (perfect situation), no problems. However, I don't think they are capable of cooling sata drives, fast vid cards (Radeon 9800 128, and a GeForce FX5900 256), and AMD 3200 or 3000. The ambient air is crucial as they can only transfer heat to another area (radiator) and local air temp is important.

I guess you are wondering why I own two.

When I bought the first one I had some little problems that were quickly remedied and decided the water cooling was the way to go for me.

I had to rma a broken water pump on the first unit, rma a control panel for the second unit. I was given top notch customer service, and both work very nicely. I just feel, from personal use, they are not designed to cool top end heavy heating components that I mentioned above.

Koolance 1 = 3200 Barton, 1.5gb Corsair (air cooled) 2x120gb sata water cooled Maxtor raid 0, Geforce fx5900 ultra 256 water cooled.

Koolance 2 = 3000 Barton, 1.5 gb Kingston (air cooled) 2x120gb sata water cooled Maxtor raid 0, Radeon AIW 9800 Pro 128 water cooled.

As long as the ambient is cool (pun intended) I have limited problems with them.

As I said before, the customer service is second to none.

email me from my profile if you want to further this sir,

Have a tremendously Merry Christmas, or Hanukkah, (enter your religion, or non religion here)

PC as always, Poof
