Ahanix Iceberg II Water Cooling Kit

[jester]

can anyone give me their opinion on ahanix iceberg 2 water kit

[KryoNexus]

i haven't tested it personally, so i wouldn't know for sure.

[jester]

yea I get the feeling not a lot of peeps on here havnt. I was just checking out some entry level water kits and the ahanix and the kingwin arctic are 2 that ive found right $100.

I don't remember if it was the Ahanix, but one of the lower model kits was notorious for leaking. Ahanix sounds familiar, but i can't swear that it was theirs

[jester]

yea leaking is somtin I deff dont want. the kingwin http://kingwin.com/pdut_detail.asp?LineID=&CateID=31&ID=187 is the one that actually intrest me a lil more just for the whole setup is very easy and doesnt require any case modding, not to mention it has 2 radiators and the second one could be upgraded later if needed. I just wana make sure that the setup I go end up going with will be enough to be able to push my cpu up to 3.5g.

While doing research... I noted that a lot of other sites stated that the Ahanix and the Kingwin both work fine for standard cooling but that they weren't quite up to overclocking. But i also read where a guy modded the Kingwin with a big fancy radiator and that increased performance. I thought about the Kingwin but could get the guts up to go the liquid route.

Yea I know they arnt gona give me a huge drop in temp but it would like see my cpu runin maybe 4c cooler and even those "entry" level water kits should be better for o\c than air.

honestly, the entry kits are designed more for people that just want to build a silent rig. i'd say you could get better cooling with something like a SP-94 or the new XP-120. still though, i would rather have water.

The Jetart AquaCool AK1000 External Liquid Cooling Kit works pretty good IMHO...............I reviewed it. Not the best for OC'ing, but it does do ok for some mild OC'ing.

I've also got another zero mod system in the works. It's from Germany, but I don't know if you can get it in the U.S. yet or not, but you should soon. The radiator just sildes in 2 5 1/4 drive bays, and the rest is like a normal water cooling setup.
