Globalwin Jefi Watercooling Kit Reviewed

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the staying-cool dept.

shockNZ writes "[H]ardOCP has reviewed what appears to be a first in PC watercooling - an 'open reservoir evaporative cooling system.' The Globalwin Jefi has a radically different design to most systems on the market. The reservoir is open at the top, and utilizes something akin to a showerhead in order to rain the incoming hot water from the PC down onto a floating heatsink. Perhaps surprisingly, it demonstrated excellent performance and low noise levels - and as a bonus, the reservoir can be used as an aquarium."

      Well, given that the cooling depends to some degree on the processor load, which in turn depends on what you are running, it mainly depends how long you play your FPS for.

      Where: FPS = Fish Poaching Software; natch

      which is about 8-10 degrees too warm for most common freshwater tropical fish

      Are you saying I have to get a heatsink and fan to cool it down then?

    And if you overclock, you can make tea with it.

      As the article poster stated "...and as a bonus, the reservoir can be used as an aquarium."

      So you could cook up a bowl of fish soup too.

    I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that a CPU cooling system that can double as an aquarium is something us serious modders have been waiting for. But how about a mouse pad ant farm? or a monitor that can be a hampster cage?

    Yes, I really want fish crap flowing through my PC.

    Up to now there's been no affective way for home aquariums to host the exotic creatures found near deep-sea volcanic vents - until now!

    I can imagine being woken up at 2 AM for an emergency outage because someone forgot to water the server.
