I heard that hydrocool isn't all that. Cools just as good as the Posieden and Koolance Exos but for ocing it wimps out.

Hope it does good for ya.

im gonna be replacing mine

That does look like a pretty pansy block.

Looks like it is pretty loud tho, 56dBa. Maybe replace the fan with something bigger and quieter?

yikes! 56dba for a 120mm fan!! thats prolly some serious cfm at full speed.

besides, i think there are fan speed options on front of the case (normal speed, turbo mode etc..)

Looks realy sweet that. you might have to do something with that fan tho, even in the 'whisper' mode toms hardware said it was 47.5 dBA, thats more of a shout than a whisper isnt it? Reeeaaaallllly nice unit tho, any ideas on price as yet??
