Pros: All-in-one kit sturdy, high quality parts (everything over engineered) At OC load keeps qx6800 < 60C (was unstable 70C+ with huge air cooler) VERY quiet Radiator mounted easily to a super tower through existing penetrations. It lined up perfectly with existing case fan.
Cons: QX6800 runs at 52C idle (higher than with air cooled) Surprisingly hard to mount the reservoir in a $600 super tower case (wants to be suspended from the top) Fill hole/funnel too small so I spilled a lot of coolant in my case Radiator ~1/2 the size of those on a motorcycle. The price of true liquid cooling is steep
Other Thoughts: This was my second attempt at liquid cooling. Even the high rated $60 solutions are a joke...don't waste your time/money...get the real thing. Used Arctic Silver 5. I also had trouble with a slow leak from one of the connections and had to tighten the @#$! out of it.

Bolting 101
Reviewed By: Hawk on 12/29/2009
Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: less than 1 day
Pros: In response to the gentleman with the stripped bolt. He may have done everything right and got the result he got anyway. This is just an FYI when attaching anything with multiple bolts always thread all the bolts loosely in place first then gradually tighten all bolts evenly in several passes this will ensure an even contact area. Never over tighten. Not doing so will result in warpage and the last bolt that refuses to thread.
Cons: none
