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."

  1. 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.

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