 You get what you pay for, so pay!
I have used fan controllers in the past. You know, the cheap ones for $19.99 that feel like they are made of plastic. I decided for once to pay a premium and see if it would be worth it.
Let me say, yes, it definitely is! The build quality is superb on this. It feels sturdy, from the frame, to the knobs, to the pcb. It looks great on my Corsair 800d and the LEDs are not so bright that they project light onto the opposite wall. FrozenCPU did an awesome job braiding all the wires as well. For pumps or fans, this thing is solid! You won''t have to worry about circuitry burning up in a few months from cheap parts. |

Very good build quality
This thing is a perfect match for a corsair 800d and looks great too! It makes bleeding a system very easy as long as you use the outlet hole under the J-shaped lip. The unit makes no sound unless your pump is cranked up, then it will either sound like a running faucet or a waterfall.
It is much better than a lot of competing designs where air bubbles can get sucked back in due to poor outlet placement, poor water level requirements, or any of the other problems afflicting cheaper models.
I didn''t have to mod my 800d as I did not place it in the top or bottom bays where the fit seems too tight. |

Top-notch performance
This radiator (along with the other SR1s) represent a perfect merger between the top performance of the GTX rads without the very high FPI that normally come with those thick rads. Low RPM fans go through the radiator as if it isn''t even there, yet the rad is able to dump heat like one twice as thick and dense. I feel like replacing my GTX with an SR1, the price premium is well worth it! |

Can''t find a gentle typhoon? Here is your fan
Excellent fans! They are dead silent at any RPM and they push through low density rads as if they are not even there. A perfect combination with hardware labs SR1 series.
Note that the fan blades look more like a very dark blue or soft purple color when they are against a black background. |

Perfect way to snake around objects
These fittings are great for making 90 degree turns or for really snaking around any obstruction. The rotary fitting means that you do not have to pray that the fitting ends up facing the right direction as it is fully adjustable once threaded.
Note that for this particular model, one end is G1/4 thread and the other is a compression fitting for 3/8 1/2 tubing. |

Reliable and secure 45 degree angles
This is a rotary fitting, which means that once the threads are tight, you can continue to rotate the fitting to point in the correct direction. With cheaper non-rotary fittings you have to pray that it aligns properly as there is no adjustment.
These are the ultimate way to remove long bends of tubing, especially if your tubing is stiff. I have 4 of these in a loop and I have not noticed any difference in flow rate. |

Does the job
Used in a small loop for a sandy bridge cpu and a 120 rad. Does the job fine. Not noisy as long as it is mounted with supplied padding. |

Perfect for modern low-power CPUs
Using just this to cool a sandy bridge i5 overclocked to 4.6. Idle temp at 36C and load temp at 56C. Very impressed at the performance of modern 120 rads. Much better than prior solution (hyper 212+) |

It works
It clamps and it unclamps. Works perfect, doesn''t dig in yet holds tight. |

Excellent
Durable, cheap, and does not bleed the color of the cables underneath |
