Test System

     For this review I'll be using a test system based on ABIT's AA8 DuraMAX motherboard and P4 3.4GHz CPU.

Testing

     Using ABIT's own monitoring system, we will test the system at idle and CPU load with OEM cooling and then with the Swiftech water cooling kit.

     For using a GPU block in the same loop with the CPU water block, these are excellent results! Not to mention easier on the ears since I can now dump a case fan or two.

Conclusion

     Although the oversized 120mm radiator and fan can give many people a bit of trouble during installation, it really is the best choice for optimum cooling. Especially if your like me and want to cool more components than just your CPU. Installation wise, Swiftech's water cooling kits take time and patience, but it's just like anything else, you take your time and do it right the first time and the end results will be something you can be very proud of. As far as innovation, Swiftech is at the cutting edge with their new reservoir and pump built into a single drive bay. With the pump right next to the reservoir, priming the system was incredibly easy. When it comes to quality, Swiftech stands out from all the rest. The people over at Swiftech are very proud of their products and their quality control is second to none. Never have I received a defective product from them, not even a scratch. Their record alone is reason enough to purchase their products. Now for the price... This entire kit, not including the GPU water block that I added in, retails for about $224.50. Not a bad price considering the kit comes with everything you could possibly need and is one of the best water cooling kits on the market today. Club Overclocker Recomended!
