Full Version: What Would Cool Better?
Im debating on what to get to cool my cpu... would this http://xoxide.com/tt-bigwater-kit.html or this http://xoxide.com/thermalright-xp-90c-cpu-cooler.html cool my cpu more?
XP-90C all the way. bigwater sucks
i would get the XP-90C over the Bigwater system, i know that sounds crazy, but the Bigwater is pretty much low end H2O, and will probably not keep your CPU as cool as the XP-90C which is top shelf air cooling
i had an XP-120(cools same as XP90C), and when i compared my temps to those with the Bigwater on the same basic system, the temps were almost identical, and there's no risk with the XP-90C, easier to setup and remove, etc...
don't even bother looking at H2O until you can afford to spend a good $250 on a custom made Danger Den based system

wonder what shipping is though
can i just say i have the big water kit i bought it when it first came out i had a aquarius 3 ext before there is not that much betwen them and i have a amd fx 55 that runs with load at 51 c max and no load 40c so i dont think thats bad also have 2 water blocks on graphics cards
this is wat tweaks had to say :-
TweakNews - "Thermaltake has done a great job of designing a kit that brings the user everything needed for a system that cools well, and is oh-so-quiet. The BigWater kit brings the bling, as well. A clear block cap complete with a blue LED, UV hoses and coolant, lighted reservoir and stainless steel fittings all combine to make the kit very visually appealing. Quality of materials is excellent and installation was a breeze, despite a poorly written and executed manual."

yeah, cool, no offense, it's fine for entry level H2O, but if one can get the same temps with a high end HSF and no risk, no maintenance, and for half the cost, why go there, for all the pretty lights?

the XP-90C cools as good as the XP-120, yes, with less real estate used, but with more weight added, if you go to alot of lan parties, i would recommend the XP-120 becuase it puts much less strain on your mobo, less chance of breaking something, the XP-120 without the fan only weighs as much as the Intel stock HSF
