Is this really considered water cooling?
Heatpipes have "water" in them.
On a serious note I am not allowed to have water cooling (long story) but this would probably pass. I just don't think it could handle a 3540 at 4.5GHz with 1.275 volts. My Megahalems can handle the task (100 passes Linpack 6.1 with 12GB) with temps peaking at 82C with a 23C room ambient. Idle is in the middle 30's. Fan used is a 86CFM Adda 120mm out of a server. Fan controller runs it at 55% all the time (inaudible with case panels closed) and it switches to 100% once a single core hits 80C. Which means the fan never hits WOT unless Linpack is run. Even a 45 minute batch job in Premiere Pro will not get it going.
How loud/noticeable is the pump? Does it make a chattering noise? None of the reviews really address this in detail yet this is one issue that the end user has no control over. (unlike a myriad of fan options)
