Coolit Eco ALC 120 RMA, Coolit Customer Service = Awesome I changed the thread title as I have figured out how to mount the 2nd fan, and the unit is being replaced by a Coolit ECO II 120. I contacted Coolit because of some gurgling and temp spikes with the Eco ALC 120 and they are sending me a ECO II 120. They don't even want me to send the old one back. I only paid $29 for the Eco originally. Best customer service ever. Coolit = :thumb: :thumb: |

Hardware store should have some bolts that are same thread and same size fore mounting a fan on the block. |
depending on where you are mounting the rad and if the rad has screw holes on both sides I would recommend screws just make sure the fans are the same speed cfm so that they don't fight each other |
I'll have to wait until it arrives and see what exactly I need to get. I thought maybe I could find double length screws or something to attach the 2nd fan outside the case but to the rad inside the case for a push/pull. I've heard it comes with no hardware for a 2nd fan, if its just screws that it needs then I already have tons of standard fan screws around. It should be here by Friday so I guess ill see then unless anyone else knows about this cooler specifically. |
It depends on the radiator. You'll either need M3 x 30mm screws or UNC 6-32 x 1.25". 1.25" might be slightly too long. Make sure you are not puncturing the radiator w/ the screw. |
All Coolit radiators use 6-32 screws and for the ECO the screw holes pass straight through the rad without touching any fins. Make sure to keep your receipt, the original ECO seems to suffer from premature pump failures quite often. The good thing is RMA is in Canada and they'll usually upgrade you to the Vantage which has a way more reliable pump. (and a few cool features) |
Thanks folks. Some good info. I bought it from NCIX so I have no worries about RMAing if needed. I'm also a VIP member so hooray for free return shipping if needed. Hopefully I don't get any issues though. I've heard about the pump failure but I summed that up mostly to user error more so than product failure. From what I hear alot of novice users install it without changing it to 100% in bios and thus muck up the pump. |
It arrived today. Nice cooler. Keeps temps stable around 48' at 4.2ghz with my i7 960. Load goes up to about 60-65'c however I never really tested it for a long period of time yet. It arrived about 2hrs ago. Compared to my Noctua U98B this thing is awesome especially for the $29 I paid for it. I havnt figured out how to mount two fans yet. The screws I have are not long enough for the rad(inside) and 2nd fan outside the case. I switched the first fan to blow air thru the rad rather than suck it thru. I hope to mount a 2nd fan outside the case to pull the air out better. As it is right now I am very happy. A few extra degrees cooler couldn't hurt though. |
Look on youtube maybe find some help threre to what you want to do. |
