Corsair has a very interesting product on their hand with the Nautilus 500. Their second foray into water cooling brings about many changes, and the most significant is the absolutely quick and easy installation process. The whole process took me about...
This product is not aimed at hardcore system tweakers or overclockers by any means, but it does give those less technically inclined a fairly solid introduction to watercooling while knocking off a fair number of degrees at the same time. Our guess is...
Do we like it?Actually, we love it. We have to be perfectly frank: every watercooling kit that is bespoke and claims to be easy to build has usually left us somewhat cold, albeit not always in the literal sense. The Nautilus 500 seems to have hit every...
To be totally truthful, when we first opened up the box and saw the size of the Nautilus500, we were not quite sure what kind of performance we would see in our testing. I expected to see similar performance to the Aquagate Mini, perhaps a little bet...

Abstract: We looked at Corsairs last attempt at water-cooling ?Cool? some time ago now and it is true to say we were impressed with the kit. The installation was extremely easy for a water-cooling product and this was matched by equally good performance. Recentl...
Although both are all-in-one water cooling kits, Corsairs Nautilus500 and Zalmans Reserator 1 Plus couldnt be more different. Where one falters, the other excels, and vice versa. Thats made for an interesting comparison, especially since the market...
After opening the Nautilus 500 box and giving the contents a quick once over I was hopeful this was going to be a good review. After the quick and very successful install I was positive this was going to be a great review. Now after having fully tested...
Abstract: Corsair claims its new Nautilus kit is both affordable and easy to install, while providing exceptional cooling performance. And we’re happy to report that the kit meets most of Corsair’s claims. The kit is housed in a plastic enclosure that sits atop...
