No matter if it's cars or computers, I guess there will always be hot rodders that push the limits. But I still find it completely crazy that there's actually a commercial product like this.

That's pretty crazy.

I've actually heard of people trying to keep systems cool by completely submerging them in oil.

Phase change cooling isn't that new, actually. Still on the fringe and nto too popular, but not ALL that radical.

Here's THG oil-cooling a box:

yup, people have been dropping their boards in some nasty waters for some time. Its just not all that practical. Also not really necessary. The thing is the results arent all that worth it.

you know, i have my computer water cooled, and right now the loudest part of it, is the hard drive, my HDs have such a loud whining noise to them makes my head want to

what brand hard drives would you suggest to try and cut down on the noise? cause right now im running 3 western digitals and 1 seagate

Before you spend $800 on cooling, couldnt you just get a faster CPU instead?

Well, it's kinda like the same mentality of a car modder who puts $$$$ into his Civic when he could just buy a faster car...
