i bought it for RM450... i recommend that u buy a DIY kit however... performs better than mine... u can get a fairly good DIY cooler at that price.



Izso: haha... well i think ur car costs more ;)
i dont think i wanna sell it anyway. even if i do it aint gonna be cheap.

DIY as in not a Kit... they are generally seperate parts like the radiator, waterblock, pipings, pump, reservoir... u just have to use all the pipings with the same diameter for the different components.

Kits are all manufacturer provided... complete with all u need.

anyway, u have to self install any water cooling sets.

cooler master cooling system?
i guess u r mistaken la... u probably meant the Cooler Master Aerogate II which is a Fan controller...

the water cooling system is the ThermalTake Aquarius II
