Review here: http://www.overclock3d.net/reviews/cases_cooling/cooler_master_eisberg_240l_prestige_review/7
Not very good performance! Worse than other water cooling kits.

I am glad you found out how bad they are i was considering one of these but wont bother now.
But i don't understand how O.C said they where so good when the review says there not.

Guys that isn't a like for like review, its the Eisberg AIO, the Fathom uses the Eisberg block but different radiators, fittings, tubing and fans.
So that link is actually of no use whatsoever!

Fred

This review is coolermaster stock tubing, radiator and liquid. Far different from ocuk to use their own tubing, radiator and liquid etc. Still waiting for ocuk review but I won't get my hope up too high now. That's the reason I won't buying at the moment.
cant say, shouldn't me much longer now.
that review is for the coolermaster version which uses a cheap radiator and fans. the only thing it has in common is the eisberg pump
the eisberg when fitted to good parts like we have is much much better.
as i said, 5GHz AMD cpu with no thermal throttling.
the review will put your minds at rest.
bulldog,
do you really think myself, a watercooling expert and 8pack, the best overclocker in the UK would bother putting something online like this if it didnt work like we said it did?
Id say go 240mm or dont bother else you might not see improvement except the looks of it

Really cant wait to see the review, I read that other one on the cooler master product but the whole time I was reasoning "Bigger tubes, better fans, OCUK" still a rough ETA would be good, week or two?

Not to mention the reviewer isn't exactly renowned for impartial reviews.
Good question it's at least on year with ocuk systems as we put it together but the pump might have a longer warranty. If rjk sees this I'm sure he will tell you or ask and let you know. Obviously the rad and tubing won't suddenly go faulty.
Curious about this too snips, though i have my k2 on a 4.5ghz 4770k that hits 94c in p95. Therefore im very interested in the 240mm rad version. Also id regain my top most pcie slot which would allow me to go back to using my xonar DX audio card. Plus with red fans and coolant it would look rather snazzy along with my board.

I've no doubt the OcUK Fathom will perform better than the CM AIO unit, but the review says the Eisberg pump unit itself has unacceptable noise levels, and always has. Of course that's a subjective opinion, but if other reveiws raise the same point I'll be looking for a different solution.

This is apparently what the pump sounds like. I'm more inclined to believe the one in the video is broken.
