Corsair COOL or Custom?

Albedo · 24-December-05, 11:55 AM

After winning a Corsair COOL watercooling kit from the Holiday Giveaway, i'm in quite a predicament. I also bought a custom kit for myself for christmas. Which one should i use in my main rig? The custom kit contains the following-

Dangerden TDX waterblock
Dangerden D5 Pump
Black Ice Xtreme Rad
Polarflo TT Chipset Block
Polarflo TT CPU Block
HDPE Bay Resivoir (I know, doesn't really affect cooling)
Clearflex Tubing (Again, doesn't matter)
Zerex Additive/Coolant

The COOL kit's components can be found here - http://corsair.com/corsair/COOL_water.html

Me for me, I'd use the custom setup in your main rig... That one's your baby, right? The Corsair is a nice prize, don't get me wrong, but if you say "main rig" to indicate more than one machine in your house, then the Corsair would still be put to good use in a secondary or tertiary machine...

After all, if you end up finding the Corsair kit cools better, you could always swap them out for each other, right?

Congrats on the giveaway prize, I'm more than sure you're going to enjoy playing around with it, no matter what machine you end up putting it into.

That'll always work, GPN.. what i was really wondering is what anyone thought about the cooling capacity of the two. I can always switch them out, but i want to avoid that to save a little time. Life's too short
