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."

This type of cooling is used in power plants - particularly nuclear. That's what those cooling towers are doing. The coal fired plant in my local town uses towers as well. It's very efficient.

Silence

It may be a bit too noisy for the silent enthusiast crowd. With the pump producing 22db and the fan doing 20db at the lowest voltage, it is not as silent as the Zalman Reserator. Then again, if you used the Zalman product on an AMD 64, the reservoir would double as a drip coffee maker.
