JetArt AK-1000 Continued
Starting with the whole AK-1000 as a foundation you'll find some pretty
high-quality workmanship. From the main unit, to the hoses, and even the clamps
to hold the4 CPU block, The AK-1000 is very well put together. This makes the
reliability and ease of use a good thing. It's nice to see Jetart pay such close
attention to the overall design execution of the AK.
As you can see, the Jetart AK-1000 is more than complete. They even through
in some thermal paste, although its not of the same quality of something like
Arctic Silver, it will work just fine for typical AK-1000 user. The only problem
is that its missing A64 capability, although Jetart is such a great company, I'm
quite sure if you owned a AK, and contacted them, they would be more than
willing to give you the items necessary for your A64. We'll have to check in a
few months to see if such a clip is available.. For now, we'll have to deal with
P4 and age old Socket A...
Yeah, the small ID of the AK-1000 more than likely contributes to the mild
performance, but there are other kits out there that have the same ID, and
deliver mush better performance, but the beauty of the AK-1000 is it's very
quiet operation. Modding the AK-1000 with a higher speed fan would increase it
under load performance quite a bit... Notice the plastic casing of the ATX
backplate for the external to internal hose arrangement. Some brownie points are
in order for Jetart for not overlooking anything.... :)
As previously mentioned the lack of A64 support is really not a good thing
seeing as how AMD is out-selling Intel as of now. WE would imagine that A64
capability with the AK-1000 should already, if not in the future, be offered...
A close-up of the nice design of the AK-1000 CPU block. A simple upgrade in
fan would be the deciding factor of whether or not the unit operates at better
performance. Its obvious from the looks of the CPU block that its very efficient
in design from our experience..
