This is an allinone watercooling solution in a stacker 1.
Has a black ice pro rad on top with 3 quiet papst fans
Eheim 600 pump on bottom - not sure if its stuck down
10mm tubing
NexXxos XP Light cooler

How would this compare to what I just ordered which I am planning to fit in my Akasa Mirage.

This also used a Black Ice Rad but with only 1 fan, a Laing Pump which I hear is well thought off, and a similar cpu cooler.

Having used both German and American solutions for water-cooling, I'm not a fan of the German style. That being said, the triple rad in the stacker if mounted correctly should be around 6 degrees cooler. Not a big fan of the pump, its a low power quiet pump normally used for zero noise setups. Also Stacker is very noisy even with low speed fans, you can hear everything.

Its the best pump on the market with a selection of custom tops, but seems to be one of the most unreliable as well. There are a heap of threads on wc boards complaining about pumps dying.

Thanks for the advice.

Hmmm...maybe I won't watercool after all.
Can't find any reviews of the Cool Answer III Laing Edition.

In your view would this knock 10 degrees off my cpu temps compared to say a Tuniq.
And how noisy would that pump be. The fan looks like a low noise Papst job.

flaccus if you have the money to splurge on a decent watercooled system why not spend it on a decent TEC solution instead? Easier to manage and just as good if not better than watercooling.

To put things in perspective, I use a 200 euro pure silver waterblock, 2 d5 pumps and a triple PA.120.3 with high speed 120mil fans. Its about 10 degrees cooler than a tunic with a great mount.

Lol, cant beat or come close to Thermochill rads so they release a quad rad. I cant wait to see what people do with this, if you have ever seen a triple rad up close you would understand. It's nearly the full length of a case.
