Corsair Demos Easy Watercooling PC Rig

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the because-you-can dept.

Steve from Hexus writes "Trying to lure more people into watercooling their PCs, Corsair have created the Nautilus 500. It consists primarily of an external unit housing the radiator, reservoir and pump, which sits atop the PC's case. Installed inside the PC is the CPU water-block, which can be fitted without removing the motherboard. At HEXUS we've got pictures from CES of a system with the cooler installed."

    Once again the hoses come straight up off the CPU block. The one place that water coolers would be insanely useful is in 1U rackmount servers (1.75" tall). The hoses would have to come off the block at an angle to accomodate that though.

    Could be worse. I used to work on flight simulators, and one day on the factory floor a seal went on one of the hydraulic jacks, and the fluid shot out in a jet...across to the next simulator along, where it punched a hole through four of five layers of custom wire-wrapped circuit boards.

    To make it even more fun, although I wasn't there at the time (for which I am grateful) I am reliably informed that the hydraulic fluid smells like "cat's piss". Also it put back the damaged sim's schedule by six weeks. And I think they had late penalty fines of $10,000/day. You do the math. It was a bad day.

    So, like I say, it could be worse :)
