Corsair Nautilus 500


There aren't many water-cooling systems out there that are cheap and good at cooling. Some leak, some make you think that you have downgraded your system. The Nautilus 500 from the famous memory manufacturer Corsair, stands out as a shining example to prove that water-cooling might actually be worth it. The Nautilus cools extremely well, doesn't cost much and easy to install, according to Corsair's website it takes only eight minutes to install. Really the only knock against the Nautilus is that it only cools the processor, but for this price I'm not surprised, most water-cooling systems don't get GPU waterblocks 'til their in the 3xx price range. And this isn't really a con just a personal preference, I don't really like external water-cooling systems. So let's recap, good cooling,, easy installation, and a barebones price, make this the water-cooler to have.

Pro: Excellent cooling, easy to install, and cheap. Water-cooling doesn't get better than this :)

Cons: Pump is somewhat audible, and Socket 939 installation requires undue force.

Verdict: 9

$159.99
