Introduction

Being an experienced water-cooler, I have always looked down on the water-cooling kits that several companies are selling. I have been building my own kits for almost a year now, so when Sharkacorp asked me to do a review for this kit, I was curious to see how it would compete. Expecting a low-quality, poor performing kit, I had my doubts. When I actually received and tested the kit, the results came as a big shock. Maybe water-cooling kits aren't so bad after all? The Innovatek Set5 kit is by far a very respectable kit, weather you are a first time, or experienced water-cooler.

Specifications

Before I write about anything, I would like to get a list of the features out of the way. Looks aren't everything, if a kit doesn't have the basic components that you need, it's not worth buying it. I am pleased to say that the Innovatek Set5 kit has all the features you could ask for. Here is the list:

• innovaCOOL rev3.0 CPU waterblock
• Waterblock mounting hardware
  
• innovaRADI Single 120mm fan heatercore with mounting hardware
• 120mm fan with chrome grill
• Expansion & Filling Tank
• Eheim 1046 Pump
• InnovaProtect water additive
• 6 ft of 8mm (5/16") ID x 10mm (3/8") OD PVC tubing
  
• Done 3-to-4 pin Molex power adaptor
• Fittings and accessories
• Installation instructions (in German)

The Box

The first detail that I always pay attention to, is how well the product is packaged. I am pleased to say that Sharkacorp received an A+ for properly padding and protecting the contents of the package. Opening the brown box revealed a nice big box of packing peanuts, with a large Innovatek box buried inside. In the pictures below you can see both boxes, and the PC that we will be installing this kit on.
