cool

this is AC or DC powered?

What CPU's does it work on?...I don't see it on site.

nvm
AMD K7 (socket 462), K8 (socket 754/939/940)
and Intel P4 (socket 478 / LGA 775)

Nice deal.

Cool product too (no pun intended).

supreHARD it's AC: "AC power (indoor: 110V and 220V)" (from OP link)

Rebate appears to be manufacturer rebate, which is nice...

Product page here. :thumbsup:

Wonder how this compares to the Thermaltake Silent Water

Well, that Thermaltake looks like an internal unit, and the Coolermaster is either external or mounts in two 5.25" bays. Plus, it has a pretty LCD readout...

In terms of performance, no idea since I can't find any reviews of the Coolermaster. BUT, the external Coolermaster appears to be based on the R80 mini, which is reviewed all over the place, e.g., here, and the reviewers appear to like it a lot (easy to set up, effective, etc).

Here's a site that has reviewed the TTSW and the 120MM fan version of the R80.

TTSW Link
Coolermaster R120 Link

This doesn't take into account the LCD and monitoring parts of the Aquagate though. But performance seems to give a slight edge to the TT unit.

But
"Pump 110V, AC 9W
Power consumption DC 12V, 2.2 W"

It lista a AC and a DC rating...so I'm confused...

 

[cytoSiN]

Product page says:

"Power supply: AC power (indoor: 110V and 220V) and DC power (DC 12V)"

I guess it does both?

I wouldn't get it, I'd just get a regular fan. WC isn't worth it unless you can get a custom WC kit. I got a koolance right now and it's pretty decent, but only because I have it right in front of my ac unit.

at 45 after rebate, how will these compare to the likes of ultra 120 or so? will these be more quiet? I'm really tempted to pick up one if its a quieter solution.

edit: oops its 59.99 ar....... stupid svc gotta post their after rebate price like a sale price.

Anybody know if this comes with the hoses/clamps/block/etc...? Seems interesting to say the least...

I believe its the complete unit with the hose/clamps/block/liquid included.

 

[cytoSiN]

It comes with everything according to the instruction manual on the product page...

I've been looking into this one (to ease any possible buyer's remorse from buying the Thermaltake Silent Water for $69.99 =P) and the one I posted earlier and from the reviews the Thermaltake Silent Water seems to have better performance. As well as the hoses on this one come out of the side of the waterblock, so they can interfere with ram and other components nearby, whereas the TTSW water block enters from the top.

Actually, to be honest I'm not 100% sure that this one has tubes that enter from the top since the pictures on the website and other places don't seem to show it clearly. If it's based on one of the other "Mini" units such as the R80 or R120 then it does have the water-block with the hoses coming in from the side.

Review for the lazy.

It does pretty good, slightly better than stock however I'm sure it's much quieter. And it's cheap as hell.

Thermaltake Silent Water now $59.99 + ship at NewEgg

Another good option, wish I had bought it from NewEgg before I got it from FrozenCPU.

I think this went down in price since I last saw it.

How would this compare to a Scythe Mine?
