CoolIT VANTAGE ALC
Received my Package from CoolIT Systems, containing 2 x CoolIT VANTAGE-ALC Cooler's
Now looking forward to Installing and Testing on a Couple of my Rigs,
One will go into Jolly's CM-690 Case Mod v2.0 and the other will be Tested on Jolly's Tech Bench 2010
,
Then one will eventually find its home in my Wife's Storm Scout Rig
A very Big Thank You to Barry Reicker (CoolIT Systems)
For supplying these Wonderful Cooling Systems :thup:
Also mdcomp has one of these too so will be hopefully seeing some results from him!
So Stay Tuned for some Testing and a Review of the CoolIT VANTAGE ALC

Update Sun 15th August 2010
Installing the CoolIT VANTAGE ALC
This is what Jolly's CM-690 Case - Acentos de Cobre with the current Modded Scythe Ninja current configuration.
First up we remove the Scythe Ninja
As seen in the previous Update the CoolIT VANTAGE ALC comes with one 120mm x 25mm PWM Fan and on the other side of Rad is a 120mm x 20mm Shroud.
I am going to be making another Fan Shroud from and old coolermaster fan and adding second ThermalTake 120mm x 25mm Blue LED SmartFan2 to the Rad Shroud.
So the configuration will be Push Pull,,, ( <<<< Airflow) Drawing cool air from front of case
<<<< 120mm PWM Fan | Mount Plate |120mmx20mm Shroud |CoolIT RAD |120mmx 25mm Shroud | TT 120mm x 25mm Fan <<<<
This will be mounted in the 5.25 Drive bay area as see here in pic below
First we take the CoolIT 120mm PWM fan and grill off the RAD
Then attached second 120mm x 25 Shroud I made to RAD
Next we attach the Intake Fan (TT Blue LED 120mm fan) to the 120mm x 25mm Shroud, then the Mounting plate and CoolIT 120mm PWM fan &Grill to the 120mm x 20mm Shroud
Unfortunately dont have a pic of all put together as dint save to Camera Compact Flash, think it was full,
Next we install the Coolit RAD into position in 5.25 Drive bay, then the CoolIT Pump block to Mobo.
Man you need to be a Octopus to do this, need more hands,lol
CoolIT VANTAGE Pump Bock Installed
CooLIT VANTAGE Installed
Installation Completed
Rear Case Cable Management
Now connected everything back to PC on my desk and testing also setup the Menu for the CoolIT VANTAGE
MENU's
With the CoolIT VANTAGE ALC there are various Menu's for Set-up from changing the Colour output of the LCD Screen,
from White, Amber, Green, Red, Blue, OFF or have on TEMP where the colour changes according to Temperature rise
and fall, also PULSE where the LCD Pulse's like a heartbeat.
Other setting are for the Fan Speeds - Quite - Performance -Extreme
Also Display orientation, so it doesnt matter which way you have the CoolIT Pump Block mounted you can rotate the LCD
screen to suit Landscape or Portrait and change screen angle to 0, 90, 180, 270 Degrees
VANTAGE ALARMS
When Either Pump, Fan or Temperatures sensor fails or the Coolant temp goes above 99C/210F the VANTAGE will provide
visual and auditory alarms
With my System currently OC'd @ 4.275 Ghz CoreTemp Reading 44C and CollIT VANTAGE ALC coolant Temp @25.6C
CPU-z Validation
CoreTemp
Hardware Monitor
Some Unigine Heaven Benchmarks v2.1 @ 4000Mhz
Anisotropy 4x
Anisotropy 8x
Anisotropy 16x
So far I can report I,m happy with the CoolIT VANTAGE ALC cooler,
Jolly Swagman Mod's - CoolIT VANTAGE ALC -Install Video
That's all for now, will do some more testing and Benchmarks soon,
On the Jolly's Tech Bench too as soon as I get another HDD , as I was doing some benchmarks over the weekend
and the Dam HDD crapped out on me, :
