I have that case. It's a beauty. What kind of waterblock is that? I used to run a Danger Den block with a heatercore from a 70's something Chevy. I like the looks of your rad, too. I also see you've got a line running to your GPU. Nice touch. Overall, I give it two thumps up.

thats pretty weird lookin, ive never heard of it before

You can ignore my previous post. I just looked at the pics and didn't bother to read the specs you posted.

Peltier junctions are sexy too.

Yah my next step is to use a peltier... SOON

Don't those pictures count as some for of pornography?

i dont see how water works with an electric system as a COOLER

**Arobas+** · 08-30-2003, 06:11 PM

Scout.. water=cold=good for the cooling
water=not good with an electric system so thats why you need to be crazy to do it

**Bioture** · 08-30-2003, 06:19 PM

$ I wonder what happens if that shit leaks

**Scout1** · 08-30-2003, 06:44 PM

So it just circulates cold water around tubes that are installed in the PC? at first i thought it makes direct contact and cools it off by evaporating... silly me..

**ÆNIMA** · 08-30-2003, 06:50 PM

Is there a water source, or is it all self-contained? Where does the water actually cool down before it's recirculated?

Lesson of the Day:

The water is contained in a continuous closed loop. There's a pump that keeps it constantly flowing. Water is pumped through a radiator (much like the one you'd find in a car only much smaller) where a majority, if not all (hopefully), of the heat it's carrying dissipates. From there the water moves through some tubing into a piece of copper that has been mounted over the CPU. This piece of copper has channels cut into it in such a way that the water swirls around on top of the piece of copper just right. Copper, as you probably know, conducts heat very well. Heat is transferred from the CPU, through the copper, into the water that's swirling just right so as to pick up as much heat as possible. The water then leaves the copper and makes it's way back to the radiator to get rid of the heat it's carrying. And so you see how the cycle goes. Watercooling is much more effective than simply using a fan because water can carry MUCH more heat than air. It's also dangerous because if you happen to spring a leak, you'll short out if not fry your system.

This concludes your lesson in watercooling.
