humm.... any malaysian using any one of these watercooling ? and what the cost in RM ?

I would recommend you stay far far away from the Thermaltake one...every part of it has the makings of a lousy cooling system. I have also heard several cases of the acrylic on the waterblocks cracking.

X-bit labs did a comparison of some watercooling kits recently, including the Tt and Gigabyte ones: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/coo...ercooling.html
So out of these 2, the Gigabyte would definitely be a better choice.

Although I have my own opinions about watercooling (vs air cooling) and I'm sure Chai will drop in to say something as well

sherren · 21st Apr 2006, 02:37 PM

hmm both so so only,the best u go for custom water cooling

Chai · 21st Apr 2006, 08:48 PM

Hahahaha...

"Don't bother" is what I'm going to say, or said.

PowerSlide · 22nd Apr 2006, 05:38 AM

it cost like err 300++

for tat money better u stay air cooling..get a scythe ninja, xp-120, xp-90 or soon coming ultra 90 n 120 from TR..it will pawned entry level watercooling

ALstonLoong · 22nd Apr 2006, 08:51 AM

humm ... well im just asking ... cause never play with watercooling before ...so just wish to try it out.

Like PowerSlide said...you buy that sort of watercooling is to look good only (and only to certain people

). If you want watercooling that's really better than air cooling, be prepared to pay.

And if you want to get that kind of system, be prepared for paying the price for not paying the price!

One good all-in-one watercooling kit is Corsair Nautilus500 External Water Cooling kit. It performs quite good.
