Ultra Chill- Tec-------peltier cooling,best way to go without water!desmith1231
Chill-tec is a waste of money, lol. It might cool slightly better than the basic no-maintenance water cooling kits (I'm talking maybe 1 or 2 degrees in my tests) but costs like $50+ more. You have to remember, though, that the Chilltec blows hot air within the case while a no-maintenance water cooler typically blows the radiator heat directly out the rear 120mm fan port--my tests were done in open air. I'd actually expect the chilltec not to perform as well within a case (Peltier is really inefficient and generates additional heat within your system)
Plus it comes with a completely worthless control box that fits in a 5 1/4" drive bay and has completely unrealistic temps (says my OCed Qx9770 4.4ghz runs at 27 celcius, rofl), and an animation of a man digging. Yes, a man digging. What a digging man has to do with cooling is beyond me, but not once have I seen him stop digging or dig any faster. It has a lot of pretty colored backlights, though. So if you like pink, purple, blue, turquoise, or green, I guess that's a plus.
