Globalwin Jefi Watercooling Kit Reviewed

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."

Dangerous innovations

The only novel idea in this whole thing is the open tank shower cooler - which also poses the spill hazard. Admittedly the tank looks like a futuristic acrylic ventilated crab and could be considered cool in some sub-cultures - BUT - if you have kids (yeah, some ./ers do!) or pets KEEP THIS system away from your PC. If you think you have problems with your dog drinking outta the toilet bowl now....

Big cenceptional problem

with open circuit watercooling system is water contamination. Algae seems to be able to grow on little more then the casual dust that enters the water, and the best place to grow is where you dont want it: The nice warm and thin parts of the CPU heatsink.
