The first thing I’ve noticed about this water cooling loop is the removal of loud cooling fans. It seems like most graphics cards are shipped with really loud, annoying cooling fans. Removing the fan can really help with the overall system noise.
The second thing that was noticeable was the reduction in temperatures, and overclocking headroom. I was able to push my system to new limits using the water cooling kit. Although monitoring temperatures on my graphics card wasn’t possible, the increase in clockspeeds was significant enough to show an improvement in cooling.
I’d like to thank everyone for taking the time to read this review, I encourage everyone to join our forums and to check out Swiftech’s product line, they offer entire water cooling kits, high performance air coolers, and extreme performance water cooling kits with peltier units for nearly all components.
