Best of all, it doesn't leak.
Feb. 7th, 2008 07:13 pmThe water kit was surprisingly easy to install - in fact it would have been done in half the time if I hadn't kept going back to the instructions to see what I was forgetting to do.
While I had the case open, I took the liberty of turning all of the case fans down to their minimum speed. There are four fans built into the case, not counting the one in the power supply, so I decided that there was no good reason to turn them up any higher as long as things are running cool. Most of the reviews for this water block suggested keeping its fan cranked down to minimum speed as well. I did that, but I'll keep an eye on the temperature and turn it up if the video card starts running hot.
Between the passive cooler on the CPU and the water cooler on the video card, this may be the quietest computer I have ever owned.
