I could have titled this "Watercooling on a budget", if not for the fact that this liquid cooling kit costs more than $100. Looking at the bench results, the only good thing to be said about it... it's not in the numbers. But if you search for an easy installation, the Big Water 760i may be for you and it's small enough to be accommodated inside most ATX cases. If it's your first trip into the wet stuff this ones all about baby steps and you will find its setup as easy as they come. Apart from that, I don't see any real usefulness for this product. It doesn't improve the performance of a good air heatsink/fan combination and I wouldn't advise you to show it off at a LAN party. Well unless you like the sounds of laughter.
Compared to the Big Typhoon, a decent heatsink but not among the best ones, it turns out to be noisy (both the water pump and the fan) and lets the processor reach temperatures up to 14ºC higher (while still making more noise).
