Anyone know how this compares to the best fan and water coolers?
I can't seem to find any comparisons of cpu temperatures on the web.

I have not seen reviews, however it uses an internal radiator... It can not compete witha triple external.

***edit***

I am sure you could do some moderate OC with it. I am pretty sure Dell even seels these machines factory overclocked.

Home built water cooling system is always the best, your looking at $300+ a loop. the"best" as you refered to it, would easily cost over 600 to do it proper

It probably doesn't beat a really good external rad water cooling setup, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is also quite a bit better than the best air cooling.

 

Keep in mind though that the H2C isn't a standard water cooler. It actually uses active cooling (dual stage thermoelectric cooling) to chill the water below ambient, so it could achieve some very impressive results.

^ Providing the Dell BIOS has the options. Heck heater core (Which is ironic considering it's ~$20-30 + 20-50 minutes to solder,etc)>external rad>internal rad.

Yeah, the TEC would probably help. It's too bad they don't have any comparisons out.
