Corsair Nautilus 500 External Water Cooling System - (CWCN500)

The Nautilus 500 is an external cooling unit that rests on top of your computer case and efficently cools your CPU. It has a switchable fan (high and low speed) so you can choose the performance you need. With the ability to dissipate 500 Watts of heat, it can handle all of the latest processors. You don't even need to modify your case, the tubing and powerline go through an expansion slot on the case!

About Corsair:
Since 1994, Corsair Memory has maintained a leadership position in the design and manufacture of high speed memory. With the Nautilus 500 external water cooling unit and the COOL family of cooling components, Corsair brings the same focus on innovation and preformance to PC water cooling products.

Components and Accessories:
The Nautilus 500 ships with all the components necessary for easy installation on AMD and Intel-based computers. There is no need to remove either the motherboard or the CPU from your case during installation! In addition, preinstalled tubing on the CPU block and quick disconnects allow for very easy system setup.

CPU Block:
The Nautilus 500 CPU water block has pre-installed tubing for easy installation. At 3/8" in diameter, the tubing yields higher flow with fewer restrictions. The result: more efficient cooling.

Good Cooler

This was my first attempt ant water cooling, and I''m glad I made the switch. I shaved between 12 and 18 degrees Celsius if my temps, and I''m finally getting used to the soft gurgling that comes from the pump. I didn''t stick with the COOL fluid they shipped with the system, opting instead for the Feser One solution that is non-conductive. As for the installation, I don''t know if I''d call it as easy to install as an air cooler, but it was pretty easy. Just follow the instructions and you''ll be fine. Now I just gotta figure out how to change out the green LED for blue and I should be just fine.

I ordered this kit being my first water cooling experience, and it was as easy as installing an air cooling unit, except, it is cooler, quieter, and a lot cooler looking. I would definately reccomend this product to anyone who is new to watercooling and just wants to get a general sense on what a kit is like.
