Now here's something worth mentioning that I just read: http://www.icrontic.com/action=hardware&id=47

Watercooling without tearing apart your computer. Wow!

[Joe]

You know how ****ED UP that system is???

I dont know who I am more disspointed in, Be Cool's TOTAL **** up of a system or the fact the inept folks at Icraptic.com gave it a good review!!

OK here are some of the MANY flaws in the cooling system:

1. The guy who reviewed it, knows jack shit bout cooling. he said it didnt have a Res. tank... Umm whats that thing the pump sits in?
2. The Res. Tank blocks all but 1 inch of that weak ass radiator
3. the radiator itself SUCKS.
4. The block is EPOXIED?!?! Well I guess after a couple heat up and cool down cycles you dont mind a lil water in yer machine do ya? What happened with Soldering a block.
5. HSF on the block??? you TRYING to bleed off the cooling abilities of the setup even further by having it absorb heat from its surroundings?? Or just prepare'n for the system to break down after a few hours? OR is it cause that weak ass radiator cant take the heat of an Athlon on its own.

OMG.. Ok I am pissed about the article as this is a prime example of a site sucking a Mfg's dick. Giving it a "Kick Ass" review rate'n But yet showing that they have no idea what they are talking about and that the system sucks! Did a 2 year old write the article? Its reviews like these that question the entire base of writers and reviewers. How can any of the folks out there who bust their ass on this stuff be trusted if its so clear any inept writer will give a company a good review if it gets something for free. Truely SAD.

That system makes OCH's systems look world class!!

BeCool should wake up to see the rest of the cooling community left it behind like 1 year ago. Just goes to show give a monkey a shiny object and he will love ya for it.

Edit: " One of the best water cooling kits on the market. Great performance at a great price. Who can argue with that? "

Thought that sentence would come out more muffled since they were so obviously sucking a BeCool appendage at the time

I know the kids that run icrontic from Mirc, they are just a bunch of know-nothing whiny teenagers that think that they are cool. Worst part is that they keep picking fights with hackors and friends of hackors, hence the sight being down and there maintainers getting used to a life with no internet

Used to play on one of their game servers, but they kept fxcking the players over that I gave up on them. rather pathetic group. . .

well enough of that for now. . .

Hehehe.. Was wondering if I was the only one that thought that was lame. I especially like where they said something like "30% of the hardware is for our personal machines".. Uh, yeah, keep dreaming.

HAHAHAA!! they wanna cool the clip that is holding the waterblock down..

The heatsink on top of the waterjacket is an excellent idea

yeah right.. stuffing a heatsink up ur ass also eh?



uhm they want to cool the pump instead of the radiator ??

OVERALL SCORE: 94%

[Freakyfrank]

MAN they completely screwed it up!

there is NO heatsink included!
and the waterpump attached to the radiator??
damn.. my lil bro can do it better!

the system itself is not so bad..
they have a good review from overclockers.com
if u use a pelt <80W... (not for us die-hard tweakers

[Joe]

sorry I dont buy putting the pump IN the res tank, and putting that infront of the radiator. You use a pelt or something and you will melt the setup I think or boil the coolant.

I'm with Joe on this one, that setup suxs big. With the resevior in front of the radiator like that how the hell does air flow through the radiator. Oh wait I know, the resevior is permiable. . .wait wouldn't that make the water come out then?

and then can someone please explain to me the point of LOWERING the efficiency of your cooling setup? I'm trying to figure this one out. . .what is the point of pulling heat off the water block into the ambient air inside the computer case.

Man whomever wrote that review dun know jack about computers. Amazing how stupid some people can be and still think that they know a lot.

well whatever, another site setting itself up for pain. . .,

That site is/was just lame. The only thing decent to read on their page is the CS related stuff and thats mainly for non-CS players trying to get into it. Which is why I read it. Their ghetto Lan party was crap and not ghetto, and their video card mod was also stupid as hell. Mine is so why better. The people that took them down proably were pissed about their crappy stuff.

Strangely enough, the pic of the system running is setup more-or-less correctly; they seperated the pump/res and radiator. Why the @#%& they put it together as one lump, only their twisted little minds must know!

and then can someone please explain to me the point of LOWERING the efficiency of your cooling setup? I'm trying to figure this one out. . .what is the point of pulling heat off the water block into the ambient air inside the computer case.

There was an article on overclockers.com a while back where someone put a HSF on his waterblock, to protect the system should the pump fail. But what happens when his fan fails?? System still cooks. That's why most bios I've looked at has the overtemp shutdown option. (That works just fine in my experience)

Man whomever wrote that review dun know jack about computers. Amazing how stupid some people can be and still think that they know a lot.

You know, sometimes I think the same thing when I read the hardware newsgroups; some people should just not be allowed to buy bare hardware. That's why Gateway exists...

[Cryonosis]

Mortin wrote that? I shoulda checked that out, explains a lot. That 15yr old public school reject truly no nothing about anything, just waiting for them to crash hard. I don't like Mortin much due to previous encounters, so it will be a sweet sight for me when icrontic hits the bottom and noone's there to "donate" to his shoveling cause.

...what?...,

did anybody happen to notice the part about putting the peltier(which he doesnt even have) between the heatsink and the block?

[Joe]

Yeh, can't wait to read about the disaster that will ensue soon after

Hey Joe, I should sign on as a writer and post nothing but "Not how to do stuff to your computer" articles and mention Apu/ISmokeCronic references like mad. Cause I could always use that heatsink I have on my video card and another videocard as a good example. And of course having tubes pointed at the cpu with water flowing directly everywhere.

They are even nice enough to show us how good it looks with air trapped in the tubes.
