agree with lichyetan.... for less money u can get better performance...

the tt sets only have the cpu blocks whereas the syscooling that ngbh sells has cpu, gpu and nb waterblocks and itll still give a better performance than the tt....all for only rm 280.

best bang for buck kit around IMHO.

I dont recommend the bigwater SE. It's a waste of money unless you just want water cooling for the sake of bling bling but no performance.
Better go for a high end heatsink.

ngbh's kit is the only one viable if you insist on watercooling coz its cheap.

remember that watercooling does not always mean you get better performance than aircooling.

If you're willing to spend upwards of RM300, you can check out some of the stuff i'm selling. You can probably just buy a waterblock, a good aquarium pump, korek a suitable radiator from kedai potong, all for better performance than low end watercooling available.

for question 1,
I wud say its because of the tubing size which is 1/4, the fitiings on the waterblock is also not upgradeable to a bigger size tubing. the radiator fittings can be changed, but for radiator only. No point big tubing but small inner diameter.

for question 2,
If you can find any waterblock that fits ur motherboard and have fittings to fit 1/4 tubings. Yes , you can.

for question 3,
Yes you can add in GC waterblock, Aquarius II from Ttake. NB not sure, u have to find an NB waterblock that uses 1/4 tubing. If u use an NB or GC waterblock with the same loop as the CPU waterblock, i dunt think ur NB and GC will be cooled fully. 3 waterblock to be cooled by 1 radiator, i dunt think its enough.


GOOD LUCK....
