I am building my computer this week and was wondering if the Koolance case with CPU, Chipset, and hard drive liquid cooling was worth the extra $$. Is there an advantage to using that system or would fans be just as good? Thanks
 
hard drive liquid cooling...are you gonna overclock that too? Seriously...what would you need hard drive liquid cooling for?

I would only recomend if you are overclocking though...

So easy to fry yet tastes so good...

Okay, I guess I don't need the hard drive cooled, but I think the CPU and chipset needs it. Is liquid cooling better than fans? Is it worth the extra money to invest in a Koolance system vs. any other?
 
can you give me a link to the case...

yes water cooling will outperform air...but not all water cooling systems are created equally

I have the Koolance Exos system with all the pieces you named, yeah - the hard driver cooler is useless, i dont know why i even bought it =/ The system performs very well - my cpu temp is at 28C atm. My R9700 is water cooled as well, its very easy to OC with no worries about temps.

A good friend will come bail you out of jail. A GREAT friend will be sitting next to you saying "man we really screwed up"
 
i have not heard the best things about the exos system...not the quality...but they just do not seem to perform as well as other cooling systems...

I'm using a Intel Pentium 4 2.6GHz 512k socket 478 Hyper Threading 800MHz FSB on a MSI 865PE NEO2-LS P4/FSB 800/DDR400/8X AGP with ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB DDR etc. Liquid cool case would be quiet as well as keep better temps, or at least that is what I'm tring to find out. As far as OC, I would like to keep the option open.
