And the verdict?

Not gonna bother. 5 for, 5 against. I'll do mine and post finished pics. I recommend Pinto (and others who do it) to also post.

Another advantage water has over air:

You actually get some shutdown time with an Athlon system.

The coolest part? The software's written with FORTRAN (an old engineering code from the 60's).

Good because it gives the flow vs. head values.

I think that you should use something liquid that doesn't conduct electricity. Maybe WD-40 or some PCBs. That way, if it develops a leak, no problem.

Also, I thought the polls sections was only relevant to the frontpage polls.

I think that said "frontpage polls" no longer exist. The polls forum has become more of a repository of polls than a forum for discussion about polls.

Water doesn't conduct electricity. The ions and metal pieces in it do. That's why when you water cool, you use distilled water. Leaks are over-sensationalized, also. Often, the preventive methods of the motherboard and others will kill the system before damage is even possible. Heck, many of the earliest computers were water-cooled.

While the idea of using WD-40 for cooling is interesting, the fact that its combustible worries me. Heat up a combustible liquid in a valuable computer...

Excellent Idea! :lol:

Actually, somebody was even thinking of using 50% Vodka as a coolant. It was in an evap. bong system. While super cool, the possible side effects convinced him to abort the plan.

Not to mention the incredibly high cost....
