I want to get a water cooling kit for my E5200 @ 3.4Ghz, I want to get it to 4.0Ghz and with water. I'm in Canada so its cheaper to buy from my local computer stores. There are two water cooling kits, I bet they're rubbish but here they are. Any good? My motherboard is the ASUS P5QL Pro.
1. Coolit A.L.C DM-1000 Domino Water Cooling System
2. Coolit WC-1000 Pure 1C
Thanks
...waiting for conundrum to respond... he will answer any ? about water cooling (=

+1. True that
Go Conundrum!!
There are a lot of reviews about the Domino... i saw one where the guy bought it, cut it open with a dremel and exposed the inner workings... which sadly were mostly corroded.
From what i understand, the Domino works pretty well, but is finicky and is cheaply made, so you have to be careful.
*shrug*
Had a domino and it worked fairly well on my 4Ghz I7 920. Aslong as you have a good case with excellent airflow it will work well.
If you buy it. PM me and i'll show you how to modify it for better performance.
Thanks, so if I do get it I'll be able to overclock my E5200 higher by upping the voltage? I want to get it to 4.2Ghz or so. I'm planning to use a Antec 300 or a Coolermaster Elite 335.
lol. Since Conumdrum is probably busy...., I'll do the honors of this:

@OP: If you are really serious about Watercooling, DO NOT get the Domino. It's pretty cheap and a good high air cooler can come close to the performance of the CoolIt. My recommendation for you would be 1: Get a good HSF and a E8400 which can be OCed easier (as in lower voltages = lowe heat) or 2: Spend $150-200 on a good CPU loop .

Yeah 4ghz should be a breeze with it
Haha, $600 compared to a $100 CoolIt LC system. So I took a closer look at it and its just the CPU that it coolers. So it cannot cool the GPU?
TBH I wouldn't and couldn't spend $600 on a water cooling kit, anyways is there any site that will ship to Canada and provide me with high quality parts? Or is there just a whole LC kit I can buy? I know there are some at xoxide but I don't know if they will ship to Canada. Also is it possible for me to first if I got the Domino to change the tubes to clear one and secondly to cool the GPU.
Thanks!

I would not recommend that you do that. I understand the desire for water-cooling and the benefits of it but a good water cooling system offers so much more than a no-brainer system for "Da Masses" You might want to read this article her on TOM'S : http://www.tomshardware.com/review [...] ,2290.html
So many of the "Ready to go kits" only provide marginal (if any) gains over a good air cooling solution. You may want to study the "art of water cooling" further. Good luck

Corsair H50 is probably better and cheaper
I'm wondering is the Corsair H50 only for the CPU? Or can it do the GPU too.
H50 is for the cpu only. Maybe later models will subbort gpu.
We'll see, i hope it cools alot better than old air coolers (=
You can't modify the domino's tubes because they are a nice hard plastic and when i tried to remove them from the rad i snapped off the rad inlet.
If you want GPU cooling as well. Go custom
Dominos suck..... its a waste of money.....IMO

Based on experience or just because thats what you've heard?
Im just not a fan of them, its a waste of money IMO.... My temps never reach 53c (prime load) and idle at 34c....and thats on a 30.00 dollar AC Freezer...
My other rig uses a V8 (920 @ 3.5Ghz) and again temps never reach 56c no matter what I do....So why bother and spend 75 dollars on a Domino if my temps are fine?
IMO the Pure and the ALC are low end WC solutions....The Freezone Elite is on another level.
And I dont like how they cover half of the mobo, id rather spend more coin on a swiftech system with danger den blocks before I think about a Domino...but this is soley my opinion....
And let me re-phrase that : Domino's don't suck they are just low end water solutions for peeps that get irritated by the sound of a CPU fan...IMO
So in all its a matter of taste, didn't mean to disrespect your hardware... just don't see a need for it at the moment...

those arnt fabulous temps considering that it is at 1v LOL

Better?
^someone has a screwed up thermal sensor...
your temps are below ambient wich is impossible, even for a water cooler.
Unless it has a tec wich would still be extremely hard to believe.

Coolit eliminator has 3 TEC's
This is an eliminator on my old E8500 at 4.5Ghz
Hey psycho can you take a picture of the TEC's in it for me?
im making a heatsink and id really like to know how they use the advantage of 3 TEC's to handle high heatloads.

Not, bad...
Maybe he has an "HSH" who knows.....
^lol
im just wondering how those TEC's are alligned because i might utilize the power of peltier in the "HSH"

This is it bro
That is an awsome design!
great how they used TEC's to tranfer heat to the rad

So is the CoolIt Eliminator for GPU's or is it only CPU's?

Heard of a mod?
although if you modded it onto a newer video card chances are that the heat output from the video card would overcload the TEC that is on the block.
