I use water cooling quite a bit. It just got to about 100 degrees here yesterday so a swim was a really good idea.  :D



Blatant thread hijack.  ;)

I have a Koolance case. It works fine but if you go that route, don't use their water block, there are better ones out there. The one they sent me was not all copper(the bottom that touches CPU was not copper) like it was supposed to be.

If someone can explain how to post pictures here, i'll post a pic.

Hehe, well as long as I'm getting a good response.....

sixpence, how much did you spend on your water cooling setup? Do you have a link you can post of where you got your setup from?

Thanks!

All you need is silicon sealant, a large jug of water and a low IQ.

Did you ever see that particular internet legend? :D

No, can you post the legend here for laughs?

Damn. They removed the thread in the particular BBS it was posted. It has been linked to over here before.

Basically, some guy sealed his PC box with silicon, put a hose  through one of the drives slots and filled full of water. When he switched the power on, he couldn't understand why all the electrics in his house blew.

It was kind of a "is he or isn't he taking the piss" situation because he adamantly claimed he was genuine.
