(More customer reviews)This watercooling system is perfect for the gamer who is thinking about an alternative method of cooling, while keeping sound down to a minimum, and adding a touch of charisma to your gaming rig. The radiator size (120mmx2) can easily accomodate additions to the loop, like a northbridge cooler, or a video card cooler; maybe even 2 video card coolers. However, you may want to invest in some extra tubing of the same diameter, and some extra fittings.
I suggest aluminum barb fittings for this type of tubing, because if you have to disconnect it for any reason, the plastic doesnt play nice, and you risk damaging the plastic. Also, invest in a larger reservoir if you plan on cooling more components, and maybe some high grade coolant.
BE ADVISED: AUTOMOTIVE RADIATOR FLUID DOES WORK, BUT MIXING IT WITH OTHER ADDITIVES IS NOT SMART. YOU CAN CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO YOUR RIG BECAUSE OF THE HEAT EXCHANGE AND CAN CAUSE SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION. KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING AND DO RESEARCH.
Oh, and another thing...this is essential for overclocking your processor. I've seen high speeds reached on air cooling, and with the proper parameters, this is the next logical step. ANOTHER DISCLAIMER: OVERCLOCKING VOIDS WARRANTIES. DON'T TRY TO OVERCLOCK YOUR DELL, AND IF YOU OVERCLOCK YOUR INTEL EXTREME EDITION CPU, I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU FRY IT. With that said, i reached 4.4Ghz using an Intel Core i7 965 Extreme Edition CPU. By special order, you can get the 1366 bracket for this kit if it didnt come in the package. There definitely a lot of cooling power.
My only peeve is that the Reservoir is too small. I'm going to upgrade my reservoir in a couple months when i add a couple more cooling blocks to the loop.
All in all, good kit. No one should be disappointed, and the price is good for a kit that could get you started on building/upgrading your watercooling system.

Swiftech H20-220 Ultima XT CPU liquid cooling kitSwiftech H20-220 Ultima XT CPU liquid cooling kit The H20-220 Ultima XT CPU liquid cooling kit continues our long established tradition of bundling our top performing components to produce the best cooling kit the market has to offer. A declination of this kit for complete system cooling is also available under the part number Apex Ultima Plus. Featuring what many consider as the world's best water-block: the recently released Apogee XT, the MCRES-Micro Revision 2 , the classic MCP655-B pump and MCR220 dual 120mm radiator, the Ultima XT receives yet another quantum boost in both performance and versatility. Whereas an increasing number of cases can now accommodate dual 120mm radiators internally, users convenience was not forgotten, and the Apex Ultima is shipped standard with our MCB120 Radbox Revision 2 which allows the radiator to be bolted-on at the back of practically any mid-or full tower cases. Overall thermal performance also clearly benefits from the use of our Radbox, as explained HERE, and demonstrated in a number of FIELD TESTS . Platform Compatibility All Intel CoreTM Desktop processor family (CoreTM2, Quad, Duo, Extreme, i5, i7) in socket 775, 1156 and 1366 form factor.
