Its a none stand still science so anyone that tells you he knows the holy grail of water-cooling is a charlatan at best ;)

what amazes me the most is how many different watercooling parts are available these days. I mean you can get anything. Companies spending alot of time on the forums really trying to give us exactly what we want. I give them the highest praise because we really demand alot.

I remember back then if you wanted to overclock then you looked up to DJ and Macci, they were the kings of overclocking. For watercooling though IMHO there has only ever been one professional, CATHAR. Some of the ideas he came up with were nothing short of revolutionary. If it werent for Cathar watercooling would still be in the stone age.

Ive been in watercooling for almost 10years now so i dont really ask many questions. Not to say i dont have them but that is the beauty of this site , you can find the answer to pretty much any watercooling question. And if you dont just ask and im pretty sure someone knows.

But with the "Stickies", "Search" function and help of people such as nikhsub1 I was able to start piecing the information together. We all start somewhere and it is a journey that is best walked with help from those who know the path.

So many times I read threads where people are hungry for knowledge but do not know how to ask the right questions. It is our responsibility to pass on our knowledge that we obtained with someone else's help. There are so many talented people on this forum that have paid their dues and know how to impart that knowledge. Yes there are those that come here wanting to be spoon fed but it is our nature to want to jump in sometimes before we really know how deep the water is. I was impatient at first but I was politely guided to the Stickies, asked to read them and come back when I had a basic knowledge of PC watercooling so that I could ask the right questions. Those "Teachers" knew that the journey is sometimes more rewarding than the destination. :)

well said :up:

I got to agree with CCC there as Cather is and always will be a legend for me when it comes to watercooling even though not everyone will remember him directly as he's not active so much on the forums these days so some of his early ideas get overlooked.

Yea, Cathar is a legend, but he hates when people call him that.. :rofl:

Lots of knowledge, less problems next time, and the move to being a non-noob I guess.

I have fond memories of the old ProCooling days and tbh if it wasn't for Danger Den (Dan Jeremy and Dennis) giving us all these so called toys to play with i'd maybe never have come up with loads of the :banana::banana::banana::banana: i did.

I do always remember a quote from Gabe in one of my early builds saying i would get much better temperatures if i flipped the radiator 180degrees...........from that day on i thought, this guy doesn't always practice what he preaches as i'd ran both ways without a hint of temperature difference though i kept it to myself :D

You live and learn ;)

Don't forget Rokk (unless it was before his time which I doubt).

Oh man Waterlogged, another Aria Owner circa 2004. I had three of those cases, and one I built for a neighbor. Two out of four of the 300 watt PSU's died, and Antec didn't have replacement PSU's until they redesigned the Aria in 2006.
Chucked all those cases in favor of the X-Qpack m-ATX cases that could take a full ATX PSU. Gah, those Aria cases were a PITA to work on too with their micro screws for the riser cards. Stripped out something fierce. Thanks for the nightmare. ;)

I would just like to join in here... I am a liquid-cooling n00b. But there's so much information to be read here at XS that it makes being a n00b enjoyable. I wouldn't have it any other way. :cool:

The day that there is nothing left to learn will be a sad one. Let's hope it never comes.
