 Great heatsinks
Got these for my DDR3 RAM for my SuperMicro X58 mb. The only issue I have is they are quite FAT, meaning you can populate the RAM slots only every other slot. For the X58 boards this is OK, unless you want to fill all slots. Then you cannot use this heatsink. But for my current 4x4GB loading they work fine. I fan cool the memory array and I never see over about 35 C with these. They have a high mass of copper so they soak up heat transients quite well. |

 Great product for the money
I have two of these. First one has run flawlessly for a year without a problem. Great for monitoring up to 4 temps and 4 fan speeds. Good for when you don''t need fan control, as fans get FULL power (not a few watts like many controllers)
And you can choose ANY combo of fans and temps to display, from a single temp to a single fan speed, and any combo up to 4 temps and 4 fan speeds. READ THE DIRECTIONS!
Only complaint I have is that you have to select your display color each time you power up. This should be in EEprom along with your settings but its not a big deal. |

Very high quality fittings
These are well made, well finished fittings. Not the cheapest, but up with the best. The quick disconnect VL3N series is amazing in that you can disconnect them with NO leakage whatsoever. Very positive seal with spring loaded connect/disconnect. After getting these I started buying Koolance for all my other fittings and have been impressed by the quality |

High quality with face seal design
Koolance designs these fittings correctly. These have a recessed grove for a proper face seal that comes up metal to metal when seated. This is the correct way to seal with an O-ring. Other manufacturers just crush the O-ring with no metal stop to prevent overtightening. You can also buy replacement Koolance O-rings that are designed to fit their fittings which is great if disassembling/rebuilding your system. |

Well made product
Nice beefy thick acrylic. Like the metal inserts for the mounting screws which limits stripping the threads in just acrylic.
To the guy who had the bubble problems, you are using the wrong port to feed your pump. The semicircular baffle is used to deflect high flow coming back into the reservior, and you feed the pump from the other side. If you do that, you will not have the pump cavitation problems.
When you install, make sure you have enough tubing flexibility to allow pulling of the reservior out of you system bay by a few inches. Otherwise you cannot fill or top up your fluid levels.
My LED worked fine, but XSPC does not provide a way to mount it. Just sticking the LED in the bore at the rear will not hold it in place. Its just bling, but not thought out too well. |

Works well, cannot jam and stop flow
Very nice little turbine flow meter. Price is misleading because you must buy the electronic sensor pack to have it read out in your fan monitoring system. Readout is directly in cc/min on a standard fan speed indicator. Mine reads 8000 cc/min (8 liters/min) no problem. Have had the electronics intermittantly glitch for a second or so, but the flow turbine did not stop so this was a read error. I like the idea of monitoring flow rate directly instead of pump rpm, as you can get a flow blockage that won''t stop the pump, and flow to your water blocks is what counts. |

Use with Turbine meter head
You must buy this to use the turbine meter head. Reads out in cc/min when using a standard RPM fan speed monitor. I use the Thermal Star thermometer/fan speed monitor sold here, and this works great to sound an alarm if my flow rate drops. Have had a few false alarms, but these last for only a second or so and are read glitches in the electronics (flow never stopped). |
