    Yes! Spending lots of money for zero performance gain! Im going to buy one! (not.)

    Jeez. A big nice slow spinning fan will do the job for a psu, its got a large heatdump which you dont need in your loop, and at that price its practically extortion.

    More to the point, would you trust someone with unkown experience in PSU watercooling to make something that can very well set your house on fire if it fails?

    Probably wouldn't be too hard for someone to do this on their own. Cut an aluminum block, hollow it out, and run some water though it. o_o

    Actually sounds like a very easy thing to do o_O

    I wonder...

    Just seems like alot of uneeded heat being dumped in your loop. If you want silent and powerful, get a Seasonic or Fortron.


    *Silverstone's newest offering seems to be hefty and quiet too.

    Spend $280 to further restrict my loop AND heat my water more? Sign me up!

    Considering they even make passively cooled PSU's, one really does have to wonder.

    Nothing new really, i've seen watercooled Enermax PSU's a long time ago at a German online store.

    Those looked a hell of a lot better than these btw.

    Typical german style, these guys watercool everything.

    Watercooling: XSPC Raystorm | EK 5870 Delrin fullcover | TFC X-changer 480 w/ 4x Gentle Typhoon | DDC2+ Delrin top | EK 200mm res | Primochill LRT 3/8 tubing

    You're right. I guess there's nothing left which gets a little hot where there's no block out for it... too much.
    The PSU, as far as I know, is a "simply" transition from a fully passive PSU to water, just by swapping the passive block for a water block. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    Just ask the guys that hear the grass growing... people that can't take more than "maybe" one Yate @5V running... really strange sort of folks. But we have quite many of 'em here
