Akasa Venom A20 and Creative Soundblaster omni 5.1

[Pauuuuulix]

Hello,
Is Akasa a reliable brand for cpu AIO watercooling? I can find no reviews online for Akasa Venom A20. And is upgrading it from Hyper Evo 212 noticeable?

Creative Soundblaster omni 5.1, http://us.creative.com/p/sound-blaster/sound-blaster-omni-surround-5-1.
Can this soundcard perform better than ALC1150?
Simple questions

If you didn't know, all AIO coolers are made by one manufacturer, Asetek and they are the OEM for Thermaltake, NZXT adn even Akasa. AS a brand Akasa is more popular in UK and Asia but not very sought after in the USA. To note, they are almost identical to LEPA's cooling solution.

I would suggest not upgrading your cooler unless you have a lot of money ready to spend. In retrospect we also don't know what you're trying to cool i.e your full system's specs and ofc the case you'e working with which could make or break your experience into the AIO world.

Depending on your solution based off of the ALC1150 you already own, it's going to be miles better than the Creative soundcard you've linked above. In fact try and stay away from Creative products since their drivers support is next to non existent.

*Simple questions, complex answers huh?
