Tonight we have a nice little waterkit on the test bench. We recieved a Basic 80mm waterkit from Alphacool to try out.
This kit seems to be able to be squeezed into most computers as it's very compact. We will as always test,get some overclocking and stock speed
temperatures and then conclude by comparing it to another watersystem to see how it will perform.

The products arrived in a plain white box and inside we found everything very neat and well packed.
Nothing was damaged during the shipping so we were able to get the testing going pretty much right away.
We have on the right picture some parts that are included with the kit which include; a manual, a velcro pad which is sticky on each side so you can mount the tank,
and the radiator pretty much anywhere in the case.

We also have some distilled water in a bottle which I thought was not enough to fill the tank. Then there is also a small bag with the mounting kit, and a 80 mm fan for the radiator.

Since this is a German online store the text on the bottle is in german and I cannot translate it for you :)
I believe it's distilled water though. The radiator is very small compared to Blackice radiators but it's pretty thick which should not be a problem
when mounting it in the case though. We have very very small fittings on the whole kit and therefore I think that this will be a perfect kit to mount in

Here we can see how thick this radiator really is, it is pretty big but I don't think it's a problem. On the right picture we have the radiator from the back.

The tubing is very very small buts it's perfect for small cases or barebones. I got quite a bit of it I would say around 2 meters.
