Tom's Guide to Water Cooling

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the bring-your-umbrella dept.

Aaron Cherrington writes "Tom's Hardware Guide has a pretty impressive rundown on how to setup a fairly sophisticated water-cooling system for your ever-growing heat problem in your proc/foundry. The guide even includes a movie! Funny how computers are beginning to develop like the early automobile industry."

    Much like my mech did in Mechwarrior, my computer has heat sinks to cool it. It even has a laser (in the CD rom drive). It has a plastic armor casing...

    I've always been nervous about the idea of mixing water and electricity...

  5. Hmm, necessry? by RaboKrabekian · · Score: 1, Redundant

    I understand the need to be on the cutting edge of technology, and to puch your hardware right to the edge of the envelope... But isn't a water cooling system in a PC going just a *little* overboard for that extra 5% performance boost? Especially today when 2ghz processors are the norm. How fast does it really need to be?

    But hey, to each his own. Or her own, I suppose.

    If you're going to go with liquid cooling, you have to go with liquid nitrogen. Don't settle for anything less.

    .sig, what's that?

    For most people it's not about faster. It's about being quiet. Very, very quiet.
