Features | Capturing the heat: The extreme performance APOGEE Universal water-block is responsible for absorbing the heat generated by today's hottest CPU's with incredible efficiency. Moving the Heat around: The Extreme performance MCP655™ 12 Volts DC industrial pump pushes the coolant throughout the circuit at high velocity. Larger 7/16" ID (5/8" OD) tubing is used to maximize the coolant flow rate inside the system. Dissipating the heat into the atmosphere: The new MCR-220 copper and brass radiator doubles the surface area available for heat convection into the air compared to a single 120mm radiator, and uses two 72 CFM 120mm fans, at a reasonable* sound noise level of 37 dBA. The MCB120 "Radbox" optimizes cooling by using fresh air from outside the computer, without adding any thermal load to other components. |

Pros: Contains all components necessary, instructions are relatively easy to follow if you know what you are doing, and offers excellent improvement over air-cooling
Cons: While the instructions were relatively clear to me, I have been building water-cooling kits for close to five years now, and I had to refer to the Swiftech forums now and then, someone with low-understanding might have difficulty understanding them. I had a minor leak in the lower reservoir barb after two days, i found it with my UV cathodes and discovered it was only due to a slightly loose barb mount. I tightened it, and there have been no leaks for well over a year.
Overall Review: Please, save yourself the trouble and research water-cooling, and your case layout thoroughly before purchasing, only then can you be truly satisfied with your results. Q6600 running at 29, 28, 34, 27 (CoreTemp 4 core measurement) Idle, 43, 42, 46, 46 Load
