This Kandalf LoTR beastie is best left alone unless you want a cheapish triple/tipple rad cooler which does do the job but has the following downsides :-
1. Noisy tipple [sic] radiator unless you slow it down even further at the expense of temp rise;
2. Noisy whinning pump. They can’t get it right, can they. It’s either the pump and/or the water loop harmonics shrieking like a nun;
3. Dimensionally inaccurate case [All Hong Kong-designed cases have this inaccuracy because they started off with inches and it seems that they have not changed. The add-on card slots are 2mm short of the securing backplane. When you work on a case with this inaccuracy, you’ll know that the “inches to mm” translator is at work];
4. Stupid “Car Radiator” design bodged job to the original Kandalf. Hey HK-Fuey, what’s wrong with putting it on top, eh? “What, you then need to re-jig/redesign and then you can’t call it Kandalf any more and besides, the boss wants another Roller for the forthcoming Chinese New Year? Ah Sorrr”. You’ve got to pay homage to the beast every time you have to insert a removeable media and “No” fanboyo-groupie, it is irritatingly stupid to accept this constant paying of homage;
5. Done in one of the boy’s back. Now he’s got to miss this Friday night’s fun with his missus. That’s from paying homage at the behest of some fanboy-groupie “enthusiasm”.
The good news is that it will bring temps down 5C at 1.55 Vcore compared to “tower”-type heatpipers for a Conroe and you can put-up 2-fingers at some expensive Yankee doodle-do-da concoction. There, no mis-selling, mis-representing, mis-leading, down-to-earth facts. And that’s what forums are for, right? What do you mean it's only for selling at the behest of fanboys/groupies. Schmucks ....
