Corsair Nautilus500 External Cooling Kit

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the cool-toys dept.

VL writes to tell us that they recently got a chance to review the latest external water cooling kit from Corsair. It seems that in addition to the performance boost it was also extremely easy to use. From the review: "As you can see above, the Nautilus500 was significantly quicker to install than the other two kits. The reason for this is that the motherboard needs to be removed before installation for both the EXOS and Aquagate, but not for the Nautilus500. Keep in mind that we're very familiar with the Aquagate Mini and Koolance EXOS, so those times are about as low as they get (for us anyway). We think we can maybe shave another minute for the Nautilus, but either way, a liquid system installed under 10 minutes is pretty impressive."

      It would be, but unfortunately the 300cc of thermal paste the kit comes with is insufficient for a MacBook Pro, so you'll have to buy extra.

    Mr. Mysterioso will now guess the contents of the review!

    • Shots of the box and various stages of unpacking.
    • Inane commentary on the packaging and comments such as "with water it is a few pounds making weight a non-issue".
    • Middle-school level grammar and punctuation. Awkward sentences abound.
    • A careful description of the product appearance, directly below several pictures of the product.
    • Majority of the report filled with useless trivia, such as how long it will take to do each step.
    • Lightly worded "concerns" which are immediately and extensively devalued.

    *clicks link*..."a two-guys-in-a-garage hardware review ladies and gentlemen!"

    All jokes aside: "Our findings were confirmed with Corsair in a conference call and we were informed that future units will have this warning updated in their manual."

    What the hell? "Conference calls" with the company that made the product they reviewed?

    HAHA, you should work in X-ray film processors, electricity(sometimes high voltage), water, acidic chemical number one that eats through metal, and acidic chemical number two that stains everything and builds up crust to the electronics level. All put into a tiny enclosure, and i've got to inspect it while it runs.... in the dark.
