GlobalWin Jefi Water Cooling "Aquarium" (cont.)Description: I consider the Jefi to be more of a unit than a kit style water cooling system. Though its individual components arrive as separate parts, the final assembled system consists of a "unit" connected to a waterblock with two hoses.
First and foremost, the Jefi consists of a small aquarium, square glass reservoir. "Jefi" is printed in purple on one of the sides. This reservoir is made of glass so it has some weight and will shatter if not careful.
The second most noticeable part of the Jefi is the Heat Exchanger. The Heat Exchanger is a purple, plastic hollow ring with a valve attached to it. The bottom side of the ring has a circle of holes with a plastic finger between each hole. A grilled 80mm fan is built in to the center or the Heat Exchanger. The fan uses a three pin fan plug and features a temperature probe which controls the fan's speed. Lastly, four metal arms are attached to the Heat Exchanger. These arms are used to hold the Heat Exchanger over the aquarium reservoir.
Rather than a radiator, the Jefi features a spoke wheel shaped aluminum heatsink.
Accompanying the heatsink is a hollow, plastic flying saucer Floating Carrier. The Floating Carrier is used to keep the heatsink afloat inside the reservoir by sitting under the heatsink - carrying it. Inside the Floating Carrier is a marble which helps balance the Carrier.
Every water cooling system needs a pump and the Jefi is no exception. The included pump is designed to operate submerged inside the reservoir. It features four section cups at its base, intake vents on the front, water out port on the top, and a very long and heavy power cord coming out the back. On the sides of the pump is a switch but as far as I can see, it serves no significant function. Noticeably missing from the pump is a power switch.
Other components every water cooling system needs are a water block and hoses. Jefi's water block has two hoses already attached to it. The water block is made of aluminum with a rectangular copper core at the base. The base has a pretty smooth finish though it is not shiny at all.
A purple plastic cap is mounted atop the water block. The hoses are made of Silicone Heat Cure Elastomer which is very flexible.
To make the final assembled unit look as neat as possible, a Spiral Wrapping Band is included. It is used to wrap around the two hoses to keep them tidy. All the necessary clamps are included for using the Jefi with AMD K7, AMD K8, and Intel Pentium 4 Socket 478 systems.
GlobalWin includes their Seaho fan speed controller with the Jefi. The Seaho is a small blue controller that has four speed settings. It accepts a 3 pin fan plug and uses a 3 pin fan plug.
The Jefi includes a retro analog thermometer to be used inside the aquarium to measure the water's temperature.
