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

i completely agree.

Its a comfortable group we n00bs have...but there are two requirements,
1. Never forget you're a n00b and always will be a n00b.
2. Always remember karma. You have to put back in what you've taken/gained.

I've learned so much from the typical suspects here, that I am forever indebted. Thats why I started testing, I want to learn more and to give back.

I almost went the vapochill route when I first wanted to get into more "extreme" cooling and overclocking. I've never even considered using a chiller. :shrug:

Did you have to look up the lyrics or could you pull them from memory?

Total copy/paste from the webz. I only know the song because of my sister has that album and unmercifully tortured me with it. I was in my Hard Rock/Glam Metal phase then...AC/DC, Mötley Crüe, Foreigner, Aerosmith, etc..., the funny thing is, about a year or so after that song was released, her boyfriend turned her on to Metallica. :ROTF:

I've got to ask, how well did that radiator work?

Now to stay on topic, I am newb and always will be by the most popular definition. Though my personal definition of newb is more in line with Naekuh's as I feel you cease to be a newb when you gain a good, solid, overall understanding of the topic in question.

Certain symmetry there, doncha' think?

To me n00b= someone who doesn't know it all and is willing to acknowledge it in order to learn.

No one knows it all. Not about any thing. The second you think you do, you short change yourself, those who seek your advice. If you believe you know it then you've become ignorant and arrogant.

I've observed an interesting phenomenon, the more of an 'expert' I become in a given field the more I realize I don't know.

Well, I think I had pretty nice temps. But then you have to remember that the parts I had didn't need too much cooling. (P4 northwood 2,8ghz @ 3,2. X800pro)

In my dictionary a Liquid Pro means:
-Has done at least 5 loops.
-Has had to deal with common problems like leakage.
-Understands the physical basics of how waterflow and waterpressure works.
-Knows how to design a good balanced loop with keeping loop bleeding in mind.
-Able to advise others what parts they should buy.

I think most of you guys would qualify as a Liquid Pro. Even when you don't know everything you probably will be able to overcome problems easily because of the experience you already have.

My vap kicks arse still. And yes, it has uber bling. Totally rebuilt, new evap head and enclosure and all charged with R507 tuned to cool a QX6700. It is just collecting dust at the moment. I plan to make an adapter to use it with an i7.

Brother, as much as I respect you I cannot let you pwn me. My path to being a respected modder has been a long one. This is the second build I ever did. The modding consisted of adding tons of internal fans and adding the nice fan hold in the side:

This rig should have been on teh cover of cpu magazine, although I do not know if they had cpu magazine in the late 90s. Yes, I also succumbed to the picture with you computer and all your toys thing back then. Should have included the KY in the pic for laughs but i was not that advanced yet. That is a H-DSL modem on top. 768k/second.

I will not post pictures since all of them are on xs at the moment but I would like to compliment everyone who has watercooled in the middle of the 90s.

Unfortunately or not now water cooling is not that hard. Kits are out and even components are extremely compatible. Advances in the field have provided us with very efficient blocks, pumps etc. No disrespect whatsoever to liquidcools now that is...

However if you are among those who ventured into watercooling before it became such a "hit" then give yourself a pat on the back. Back then it was really breaking ground (among normal enthusiasts) and the solutions to so many problems have really helped the community to "evolve".

Same thing with climbing or bikes. Today any kid with a pair of climbing shoes could beat and outperform most of yesterday's climbers but it is easy to forget that back in the day the ropes where made of cotton. Gear was a bet and safety was a dream. Achievements must be fairly compared.
Same things can be said for the first bike riders at the beginning of the 20th century.

This is just to say that even though PRO is (as correctly stated) a term which indicates an effort to produce wealth rather than specific knowledge I can't help to think that if the term must be applied to anyone then those who have "opened" the way for watercooling deserve it.

My 2 eurocents.
