MODTHEBOX would like to thank Vivian from Corsair
for sending the Nautilus 500 External Water Cooling Kit for review.
Introduction:
It seems fitting that Corsair, a world leader in high performance enthusiast and gamer memory, offers another style of product targeting
the same audience, a water cooling kit. Both product lines inherit the same focus for quality, reliability and performance that is to
be expected from the Corsair brand. In the past I have been very impressed with Corsair’s first internal kit, the COOL 120 Advanced PC
Cooling System. With a solid internal water cooling kit under their belts, Corsair now shares with us their revised vision of what an
external water cooling kit should be. Today in the MTB Labs, we will be evaluating the Nautilus 500 External Water Cooling Kit.
Specifications:
The Nautilus 500 is an external water cooling kit that is aggressively priced to fit any water cooling budget. The kit's ensemble
features all the core components necessary to cool an AMD socket 754/939/940, or an Intel socket 478/775. Here is a list of
specifications taken directly from the Corsair website:
