are the corsair sealed cooling unit really that good?
the thing that put me off them was the shorter tubes and also that the pump is in the block right?ive considered these before.corsair are generally good at what they do i will admit
but i agree with you about the fans.two corsair on the 120 rad(pwm fans)the one i already own on my case side intake is a pwm daisy chain type one so i could control these if they wer linked with software.
also, thank you for the quick response
the H80i is amazing... keeps my i5 3570K overclocked to 4.4GHz down at 75c at 100% load... cant argue with that!
Plus the H80i comes with software to control the fans, pump, lighting etc...
Its an amazing unit, I would buy on everyday if i could...
But the watercooling kit youve found is a good deal, more fun to install so its a hard choice...
H80i is reliable, won't leak, has warranty, good temps...
the Probya kit, if not installed correctly could leak and ruin your system...
I wouldn't risk it... get the H80i

Besides all of the facts he mentioned above, it also uses a non-conductive liquid instead of distilled water, so if it was to leak (not saying it will), but if it happens to leak it will NOT ruin your components, and you can just whip it up and send it back. (Little Peace of Mind).
Would you kindly let me know how you found this out?
I have found this information on the coolant, but doesn't say anything about being non-conductive...

CKC contains a special copper anticorrosive and does not contain Ethylene glycol, Ethandiol or other additives, offers the full thermal capacity of water and suppresses Algae and bacteria growth. It also contains additional inhibitors against corrosion.
Alphacool does not use the standard anti-freeze ingredients which reduce the thermal capacity of the coolant but my be mixed with those. Coolants based on antifreeze require 25& antifreeze content to suppress algae and bacteria growth which lowers the thermal capacity.
CKC is compatible with copper, brass, platings such as nickel, chrome, anodized Aluminum, Plexiglas (PMMA), POM and plastics for pump casings such asPPS-GF40 (Laing DDC ® amongst others) as well as PUR-, PVC- Tygon® and Masterkleer® tubing.
