Great review The Gonz ans this is probably the best all-in-on kit you can buy and its good for those who want are interested in watercooling but don't know much on the subject.

The mod that Bio was speaking of: Corsair Nautilus 500 Radiator Modifications Improved Cooling (http://forums.legitreviews.com/viewtopic.php?t=6397&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0)

I have read this thread and am "VERY" intrigued by it. I just may have to give it a shot and see if it works as advertised.

Doesn't hurt that Bio peruses our forums and bestows his water cooling knowledge upon us from time to time. :icon_tiphat:

I have had it close to a year now, and it is an excellent easy unit, have gone from AMD-Intel, used new cpu's very easy to uninstall as well, but to un-install the full clips for 775, u do unfortunately have to take out the mobo, it cools very well, and is very inexpensive, and perfect for the watercooling new comer

They are a pretty kick-butt little unit, like I said before, the only thing I'd do is swap the radiator, it's a bit on the dated side. As a matter of fact, that little aluminum radiator is the same one that Corsair used in their original Hydro-Cool some 4 years ago, notheing like using up left over stock............;)
Their waster block is also pretty good design (micro chanel) (I'd have to make a different mounting method so I wouldn't have to remove the MoBo all the time), but I'm a littel biased towards the block, one of the design engineers is a friend of mine.
