    Stop spreading misinformation. You say you want no compromises, so why stay on water? There's phase out there, submersion cooling, etc-isn't water just a cost compromise? These people target themselves at certain parts of the market. Not all the ones mentioned are even targeting the high-end OC category-there's lots of silent PC WC, as well as entry-level. It got that big, in just a few years time.

    Not everyone has this limitless cash to spend on watercooling. I have bills to pay-lots of them. Nothing like three different genetic disorders under the same roof. I get what I can afford and work to improve my setup to match the temps you guys get with no limitations. THAT's Xtreme, not this "no mixed metals" bull.

    If you'll excuse me, I'm going back to flow diagrams. I'm sure I can beat even the big boys with a few of my ideas.
    How am I spreading miss information? Show me some C/W curves of Aquacomputer, Zalman etc out performing the current champs on the market from D-TeK and Swiftech and I will listen. The problem is the price doesn't even reflect an inferior product either. The Koolance Lian Li cases are 500 dollars! You could knock up your own V1000 with a custom loop for less and perform better.

    So who's throwing money away now heh?

    How can water be a cost compromise? Surely running a water loop is more expensive than air just by running another pump on the electricity bill let alone costing more to put together.

    Phase is too loud thats why, which is why I watercool. I chose the best components so that I can have low speed fans, but still get great temperatures.

    I don't avoid cars with mixed metals, because it's a car and it gets me from A to B and if it has a problem - my company has it back in for repair and I see 0 of the cost.
