Conclusion

The WaterChill kit is an impressive piece of engineering. It has a lot of superb features, an excellent finish and on top of that it looks awesome! Cooling performance is good for a kit in this price range and I can only think of a few minor draw backs with this kit - neither of them should be able to scare off any potential buyer.

I highly recommend the Asetek WaterChill to both overclockers, modders and regular computer enthusiasts.

Pros

- Professional design
- Good performance
- Nice finish
- Easy switching between 7V and 12V fan operation
- Fairly quiet in 7V mode
- Quick connect fittings
- Fair price (Suggested retail price excl. VAT within the EU is €245 (which equals ~ £171), and in the US: $259)

Cons

- Bracket to hold reservoir in place could be better
- Attatchment for P4 chipset makeshift.

Thanks go to Asetek who were kind enough to supply me with this kit for the review.
