    Used to be obsessed with water cooling in an attempt to overclock and have a silent system. Now use a £20 Gelit CPU cooler and decent GPU card custom cooler and my system is silent with a CPU/GPU that doesn't need overclocking and runs silent.

    With CPU's and GPU's getting cooler, smaller and less power hungry..... I agree with shaithis, water cooling is not required to achieve overclocks or silence anymore.

    Although I do miss the look of tubes and water in my PC.


    Also, that demo machine is terrible looking - would have thought they would have spent some time on cable management.

    Why do people need water-cooled PCs any more?
    to annoy people who ask why instead of how.

    I wonder who was in charge of their cable management... Catweazle, perhaps?

    The extra pic on vr-z that shows the radiator shows that it's not your standard water rad, looks to me like a bunch of heat pipes and heatsinks. There is also 3 pumps and 6 water lines so each card has it's own loop.
    It has potential but we'll just have to wait and see.

    How many 'custom' loops are designed by thermodynamic experts ? diy doesn't automatically make it better than the experts. I have seen some truly awful designs in my time where components haven't been matched together. Mainly pumps & tubing that are totally out of kilter with the rest of the system.

    I'd like to see more about how it works, but this could be right up my alley.
    I upgrade a lot, and have done full water loops before, but don't like thm because t turns the fun expereieence of getting a new graphics card or cpu into a days work usually filled with lots of swearing.
    I would love a custom water loop that would allow me to upgrade and drop in components without ever having to drain the loop and re-do the tubing.
