Cooling kit withe the bigger 2 fan radiator

I am not a big fan of pre modded cases or pre made systems. I'd say buy seperate components. Maybe a dangerden block, a black ice radiator, and an enheim pump. Just read some of the threads and read some of the articles. Save your self some money and have some fun. Do your own mods

not to bash och....but their kits are sh*t pure and uter garbage ABSOLUTE TRASH! but not to bash them...go to www.dtekcustoms.com and check out their pre-made stuff if ur leaning that way

If I was a mod I would have banned you for posting those links!!! Good thing I am not a mod here.

www.dangerden.com

www.dtekcustom.com

are good places to go.

ghogman · 04-02-2002, 08:29 PM

Why is it garbage? Did you have one or know somone who did and it crapped out?

We need an anti-OCH emoticon. Perhaps one of those no smoking circles with the line through it in red overtop the letters OCH in white?

Haddy · 04-02-2002, 09:22 PM

I don't know. His opinion of them is pretty harsh aswell. Read the last page of the Z4 thread.

Psychotic · 04-02-2002, 09:41 PM

Heh, I was just joking around anyway.

Although... it would be convenient to be able to click over in the smilies box rather than having to type "We, that is a collective group of individuals here at the ProCooling forums, have come to the conclusion, a conclusion based on solid evidence/research, that OCH products are of a very poor quality and do not perform well when put to use in the real world and not merely hyped up in various forms of media."

From one newb to anouther, DO NOT GET ANY OCH OR CPUFX STUFF

I did, and I am suffering, redeem me oh water cooling gods, redeem me!

You can probably find it on the [H] forums, but I think Joe and everybody else just want to let it fade away.

<edit> Oh yeah, for the thread topic, you both the Danger Den maze1 and maze2 have hold-down plates for use on Socket478 Pentium4s, so I suggest you look into their blocks. Swiftech's new block also works on Socket478. </edit>

Bahhh!! nevermind then. It isn't worth wadding through all that again. I am not a member there anyway so I don't have accesss to all the sections. I tried signing up a few times but everytime they said I couldn't so I will not even if I can now. No reason to anyway. The best of [H] are already here!!!

ghogman · 04-03-2002, 01:16 AM

Ok, im screwed I guess, I ordered adn paid for it 2 weeks ago. Lemme askyou all this. If the block is that bad, what about the pump and the 2 fan radiator in the case I listed. Can I get a better fitting block to use with this kit, one that rocks and will fit a 478 board like a glove? I need to salvage what I have into a decent kit... sorry for getting taken, we all learn some where..

One of these?http://www.dangerden.com/mall/mazep4_478.asp

just stay away from och, thats the only advice worth giving.

dden has everything you need, tubing, clamps, waterblocks, pumps, radiators
