vtwin Posted January 27, 2005 Author Share Posted January 27, 2005 It will be interesting to see the performance specs.on this system. I did not expect the new watercoolingproduct from Corsair to abandon the external config. Ido not have room in my beloved Lian Li case to be ableto implement an internal based setup. Several highperformance internal setups have been available for sometime (Swiftech, DangerDen), so this setup is going to haveto compete based on pricepoint, and performance, as theother companies have already penetrated this market nichewell. Hopefully we will see some comparative reviews soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 seems to be a step down from the hydrocool 200 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 When is this thing due out? It'd be nice to see a wide angle picture of an open case that shows all of it at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wired Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 I doubt it'll be reviewed anytime soon. Maybe Mid Feb-March? Ok, my list of things to bug Ram Guy about is growing, I've gotta remember to call him tomorrow lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stev Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Wired, Does the pump look very familiar? :sunglasse It should! It's the DDC pump that is rated with all of the high reviews by many of the OC review sites. :biggrin: Check out the link for the pump here: http://www.systemcooling.com/swiftech_mcp350-01.html Stev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stev Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 FYI --- This is not a replacement for the HC200 water-cooling systems. It's a NEW product by Corsair. It goes with the forum name change. Take a look at the CES 2005 Corsair setup of this internal kit: http://www.bit-tech.net/feature/73 This is really a nice internal kit. I wouldn't rule out, down the road, another Corsair HC external setup either. ;): Corsair will have a nice 2005 year. Stev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bio-Hazard Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 If you want to know how the new system performs, read any of the reviews on the swiftech Rev 3 of the 120 rad kits. They are basicly the same kit, all off the shelf parts from Swiftech. http://www.swiftnets.com/products/h20-120-R3-0.asp http://www.swiftnets.com/assets/images/products/h20-120-r3/h20-120-R3-header.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bio-Hazard Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 From what I can tell from looking at the pics and reading both web sites, the only differance is in the color of the blocks and retaining brackets. Both companies have the same flat and stepped blocks and support for all CPUs, same rez, pump, rad and rad box. The big deciding factor will be the end user price. They are both excelant kits and perform great, you can't go wrong with either one IMHO. The Blocks are a little different on the inside: Swiftech says: The base is a one piece copper forging made of C110 copper, featuring 281 thin pins. Corsair says: The directional design of the all copper, 240 copper pin CPU block maximizes heat dissipation as the it removes heat from the CPU and disperses to the coolant. I would be willing to bet that the Swiftech block will cool a bit better due to the increased internal serface area, but a comparison review would be needed to prove this.

stev Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Bio-Hazard, Another item that makes The Cool different from the Swiftech is, 3/8" barb fittings on The Cool vs. John-Guest type tube sockets on the 120 H2O. The barb fittings take a tube (hose) clamp. :sunglasse The John Guest only uses an o-ring OD seal! :eek: And requires you to use liquid soap to help push the tube in. :sigh!: So, if you cut the tubing to length using the Swiftech kit. By all means, make sure your cut is straight, clean, flush and the tube end without any burrs. Do not squeeze the tube when cutting, it will make the end oval, for the tube will not seat and seal properly. The Corsair Kit only needs to have the tubing pushed on and a clamp to close the connection. Less chances of leaks. :cool: Another nice thing with The Cool is, the PCI Pass through bracket comes with the AMP/Molex 12v jumper cable. :sunglasse The Cool also has some of the best instructions for filling the DDC pump.

vtwin Posted January 29, 2005 Author Share Posted January 29, 2005 When, and where do we purchase the "Cool" from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Hey Stev, E-Mail me with your email! I'm getting the messages, can't reply without an email address lol! Place it in the BODY. Cool will be in the retail channel within a month is the word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haole Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 When, and where do we purchase the "Cool" from? Rumor has it that Fry's Electronics, MicroCenter, Best Buy, ZipZoomFly and Newegg are placing orders/expecting delivery any day now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bio-Hazard Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Next month is what I've heard. Seeing as the kit is made up of all off the shelf parts, they should hit retail pretty fast. A little paint and finish and they are ready to go. With all the manufacturing and supply chanels already in place, there shouldn't be any holes in the supply lines.
