Corsair's new external watercooling solution might be worthwhile checking out... Bit-Tech were pretty impressed with it. The Nautilus 500, or something...


Is it a passive one like the zalman resorator?

No, it uses a 120mm fan. A CPU block, with hoses to a box that you sit on the top of your case which contains the res, pump and radiator/fan. Powered from the system, so you never forget to turn it on. :) I think the price is hovering around £90, although I can't remember offhand.

On the beer front? Heh.

I like cider, though.

Ice,

That was their old stuff (1st gen) crack at water cooling
Their recent (last 2-3 years) WC equipment has nothing but good & rave reviews & best value for the $.

I have had NO probs at all with any of my CPU BigWater system with addon GFX waterblock. Soooo easy to put on :D & I have just about the hottest chip available.

BTW: I really wish folks would not offer opinions & recommendations on equipment they have not a single bit of usefull data for. Most doing so have never seen or used said equipment. :roll:

Shifter, you mean straight cider or turned cider? Cause honestly fresh REAL apple cider that turns is AMAZINGLY good. But I don't drink it for the alcohol, it just tastes so amazing, heh..

And Doug, yeah I hate when that happens too, heh... I'll have to look into it more. Cause I know nothing about water cooling realy. Need to see how much the block for a 7900GTX is (wouldn't think that much...) and the cooling system with it. I'd prefer to water cool everything though, even if it's useless. I'd like a fanless enviroment primarly. But again I'm going to wait til payday to see how much I get paid before I go buying anything.

EDIT:




I'm about half way done moving stuff into a different room. The room is actually painted a grayish blue so it matches the case very nicely. The standard "white" light I used to help light the shots really didn't let the blue show. But I'm without a tripod at the moment so I couldn't capture the blue like it really looks.

Strangely enough, by moving my computer I actually SIGNIFICANTLY dropped temps in my case! I went from a 34c idle on CPU to a whopping 25c! And a 42c idle on the GPU to a 34c!! :shock:
