 "Asetek have produced another high quality product that raises the bar once again for easy to install water cooling kits. Even if you are a rank amateur, this kit could easily be installed in a morning (provided you don't have to modify your case first), and provides a level of control unique in...
'Everything you could need (with the exception of deionised water) is included, from mounting options, to 3M of 10mm hard walled tubing, to instructions for each component, and even a syringe filled with Water Wetter Anti-Algae fluid. asetek even include some stickers to label your components with (or not) as you see fit.
Performance is great; be it silence or low temperatures you are after, the asetek WaterChill Extreme kit will provide you with both options. Even when the system is running at it's quietest, the performance is very good, and at full speed (loud, but not overly so; I've heard louder air cooling solutions that didn't perform half as well) the temperatures are simply the lowest I've seen, and the lowest I'm likely to see short of chilling the water.
The kit isn't cheap, but when you total up the costs of all the individual components it does become a fair price for the performance. I've become quite accustomed to being able to right click the tray icons and choose a profile for the system load, and I've no doubt that others will find it as equally efficient. The silence is great, the kit is very complete and there aren't any real glaring issues aside from the two I mentioned. Highly recommended, there isn't much on the market that can compete with this kind of performance, and none offer the software control of the pump and fan speeds. There is a 1/2' version of this kit, but considering the temperatures we have seen here I do have to wonder if it would make any difference to the performance over the 10mm kit. The asetek WaterChill Extreme KT12AT-12VX/10mm is absolutely fantastic; I'm in love with it.'
