“I think it’s fair to say that water cooling kits fall into one of two categories – they either try to integrate all the components into as small a number of parts as possible, or they simply provide all the individual components in a traditional manner.

It’s obvious as soon as you see the multitude of components hiding in Corsair’s box that they went for the second option.”
