Sunbeam overclock cooler kit
Overclocker cooling kit? Well this kit is supposed to be a product that enables you to get better air cooling in your computer.
It's a straight pipe that goes from your front intake fan straight to your cpu so the plan is that it should provide with fresh air all the time.
We are going to see if we get lower temperatures with this product.

Very nice box that protects all the parts. On the back we have a installation manual. This is the only manual that there is. I feel that they should have included a manual also for this
product since the "manual" on the back is not easy to undestand....

On the left picture we got two clamps which you use to lock the ducts onto the air duct. In the package you get two 80mm ducts and one 70 mm.
There was also a fan filter and a chimney for the back of your PSU, and not to forget some screws :)

The right picture shows the fan filer which you can mount by the cpu cooler. This is to prevent dust from getting into your system. On the right picture we have the air duct itself.
It's very flexible and can be pulled pretty much as you want.

It's time to sum this up so check out the conclusion.
Conclusion:
After some testing we could see a raise in our temperature with several degrees instead of a decrease.
I think that this products might stop the air in small cases as it takes up alot of space. However, I have seen reviews which have shown positive results for this product.
This product is a great idea but in our case it did not work out to well. This is a high quality kit though but it misses a manual so it's difficult to install for n00bs.
The kit takes up alot of space so if you want to use it you should check out that you get enough space in your case.
Rbmods gives this product 2 out of 5 for a high quality product
Pros:
+ High quality

Cons:
- Takes up space
- No manual
