i dont have anything really against och. they make watercooling equiptment which i suppose now with the new pump can be considered reliable and it should offer better cooling that air cooling... which i think has a market. although the value for money of och's systems is debatable, they do now finally offer a compentent product which some buyers may be very pleased with as it is still a competent cooling system that they dont have to donstruct themselves. not everybody needs ultimate performance, and compared to air cooling, the och setup performs very well, which is just what some people want.
what i do not like is that the review gives the opinion that it is the best watercooling on the market, which it most clearly is not, although och have got their act together somewhat, at least there systems are more reliable now (although i wonder if thats actually a silver plated copper block will it cause any corrosion with the aluminium radiator?), the performance is clearly not cutting edge compared to other watercooling products. the review is poor as it glosses over the deficenties of the product, ie the substandard radiator and absolutely fabricates many things, ie the pump being better than an eheim. there are better pumps than an eheim if you want to be absolutely sure it will last 20 years without fault, but i think a pretty sure chance that the pump will last 5-10 years is good enough for most people.
the reviewer clearly does not know what hes talkign about... which is just sad that now people reading his review unaware of forums such as this one will buy that product thinking it is something that it isnt.
