Test System & Benchmark Results:

Test System
Motherboard: Asus A7N8X E Deluxe
RAM: 1 GB Corsair PC 3200 Pro
Processors: Athlon XP 2500+
Video Card: ATI 9800XT
Power Supply: Seasonic 400Watt PSU
Hard Drive: 80Gig WD SE (8MB Cache)

Case: Enermax CS 10182-BA server case

After running for 12 hours to get stable running Prime95 was ran 3 times on torture test for 15 minutes each run to get the highest temperatures possible and results were averaged. Motherboard Monitor 5 was used to get readings directly from the board sensor. I used an OCZ Dominator 3 that was installed prior to the Aquagate to compare results. All temperatures are in degrees C.

As we can see the air solution had a 12ºC increase from idle to load while the Aquagate on its lowest fan speed setting maintains a 7ºC difference, the Aquagate ran flawlessly beating the OCZ Dominator 3 by 10ºC on its highest setting. This system is designed to provide ample cooling and low noise, the 2500 XP I run is locked so I was unable to get very high overclocked numbers but when jumping to 12X multiplier and 170 MHz bus from 1831Mhz to 2100Mhz there was only average increases of 1ºC idle temperature and 3ºC load on speed 1, and speed 2 and 3 averaged the same as stock.
