The Corsair Nautilus500 Bundle

The Corsair Nautilus500 comes with all of the hardware needed to get your recent AMD or Intel computer system water cooled.  If you are wondering about support for the upcoming AMD Socket AM2 motherboard the answer is not currently.  Corsair informed Legit Reviews that their current AMD rentention bracket does support the upcoming AMD Socket AM2 platform, which means nothing extra will be needed for many months to come.

Speaking of the water block you will notice that a thin layer of plastic is on the face of the water block.  This needs to be REMOVED before installation.

The Corsair Nautilus500 Water Block

This thin piece of plastic was installed to keep the copper base from becoming weathered and scratched.
