     The WC-202 comes with everything you need to get a water cooling setup running in your computer.

It doesn't look like there is a lot to it, but wait until you start unpacking.

I was impressed with Evercool's packing ability.  I would have never thought that so much could fit in that box.

Installation:

     Installation takes a little planning before you begin.  This is not a system that you just want to throw in and turn on.  You are going to want to test the system for leaks before you install it.  This sounds simple, but you don't want to but the kit together, outside of your case, test it for leaks, then take it apart and install it in your computer.  Once you get the kit together, you want to keep it together.  The actual installation is fairly simple.

     You can use this system for Socket 462, 754, 939 and 940 AMDs, and for socket 478 and LGA775 Pentium 4's.  If you find that you have a CPU that doesn't fall into that group, you may want to consider upgrading.

 

     If you have a Pentium 4, you will have to remove your motherboard to install the water block retention system.  This is the only time-consuming part of the installation.  It would have been nice if Evercool could have used Intel's method of heatsink installation.

     The water block is a highly-polished steel and copper piece.  You will notice the red O-rings in the attachment fittings.  Every connection point has these and they are essential for preventing leaks.  Evercool provides some extras in case you misplace a couple.

The multi-function display panel is the control center for the kit. 

This device also provides the water fill spot and a radiator built in.
