At one point the rest was water cooled, but vapo's are an expensive hobby.
I quit after it died on me, if I had the money to spend I'd go back in a heartbeat.
I loved phase change cooling. :up: To bad it's such a hassle setting up and changing bits.

i have to see if i still have pics of my phasechange units, i started with just cpu then bought a 2nd one for the gpu when benching. I may still have some pics of it somewhere.

here are a couple, first with water on cpu & pelt on gpu, then with phase on cpu and pelt/chilledwater on gpu, then phase on both cpu and gpu - that pic is when i was the 3rd person to reach 30k in 3dmark 01 LOL

some of you will remember this name, my r404 chillers were custom built by "HEREFISHY" :)

idd, the first phase of learning is when you're not watercooling yet, when you're doing it, you learn much more easier, and I've learned already a lot of my 4 month's during watercooling (and hopefully much more longer :yepp:)

and here@XS I see beautifull things every day and it's easy to learn from beautifull things :)

LOL, yes there are lots of weird people but there are also tons of really cool rigs. I think you would be in geek heaven. Are you near any of these events? I worked with Intel to get CPU Mag to do their mod contests there so you would have a GREAT chance at getting on the cover and also getting the lewt. I am on the CPU Mag judging panel at PDXLAN 13 (in a few weeks) and also might be a judge at the next Intel LAN party in the Portland, Oregon area. You can bet I give extra love to TIGHT water-cooling setups as I think they really are aesthetically pleasing besides being functional.

You should go to at least one event just to check it out.

Well I've got some years on WCing. Not sure where exactly one becomes "pro" though.

I was a Noob here(eep! 500Gph and 3/4" tubing!) Pioneer though.:

Still a noob here:

Not so noob here:

2 of the first 3 have the fan mounted that way ;) Those hex screws holding those UKs on the TFC360 cost me nearly 10 USD! Bling bling?

I picked mine up from a local hobby shop. I didn't think 9.77 including tax was that horribly bad for 12 of them. Why Fesser uses such an odd size is beyond me. I could have picked them up for less than a buck at the hardware store if they were M4 :shakes:

I have yet to see a single "pro" here. If anyone gets offended by this statement, they are obviously not a pro.

A true pro knows they are "n00b for lyfe".

Petra is a pro. No way around that. Cathar and Marci at least used to be pros. Dean from Koolance is a pro.

Well, does pro status come with time? I've officially hit 10 years of PC water cooling experience! :-D I've water cooled anything from Cyrix MIIs to a 4870 X2!

@ CCC nice volt mods ;)

If anybody tried to take my picture with a "My Pretty Pony Pink Case" in the forground, there would threats of serious bodily injury including painful removal of reproductive organs if they did not hand that camera over and let me delete that! :yepp: :D
