got darn those are sweet but lookz doesnt necessarily mean performance so we will have to see
If they are as performant as their previous 'monochrome' offerings, they are excellent indeed.
When waterblocks become fashion accessories...
On a side note, i'd still steer clear from alu tops, anodized or not. Do they make *real* copper tops for their blocks ?

The sad truth is a good portion of the people that buy watercooling (and many other computer components) do so to be cool or have something to talk about. It's sad that 90% of the worlds computing power is wasted on AOL and Solitaire everyday.

i think that they make some of the best looking blocks but i have a major problem with companies that spend more on looks than effectiveness. i mean a waterblock has one purpose to exist, cool a heatsource. how can they spend so much time on appearance when the performance is subpar. if apple stopped trying to make their computer look like a stupid piece of art and make it a kickass computer they might nab more than 1% of the market. but then again they have proved to make dumb mistakes over and over.

now now, i wouldn't say 90%..
and there are other benefits to watercooling then preformance, the noise.

its a waste of money, and you can get silent air solutions if you are talking about noise...
its either used for greater performance, or as a fad, like those pipe tips people put on their civics or neons.....
hes right you know (not about the mac part tho)
if you want to use watercooling just to keep your pc running, please send paypal to [email protected] , its obviously a waste of money (same as those FKs who buy a suburban or land rover just to get to work every day.)

The blocks look cool. But like everyone has said, a water block is not worth jack if it does not cool well. Noise reduction is one thing. But to put water in a computer just to reduce noise if pretty risky. The main reason for water in computer is to reduce heat for added performance. Anything else such as noise reduction is a good byproduct.

Sorry it just struck me wrong. The sad truth is a good portion of the people that buy watercooling (and many other computer components) do so to be cool or have something to talk about. It's sad that 90% of the worlds computing power is wasted on AOL and Solitaire everyday.

Do you realize how much of a jerk you sound like? Who cares if they do it for fun, and not for top performance. You try to act as if you're better than "90% " of other people, but to me you are just the opposite.
Fallguy, some people cannot understand the 'fun'.. They get old quicker than other people too... For example, for those people racing a car for fun is a total waste of time and money (i talk by experience )
)Well it shows you're far away from Germany. There watercooling is (for more than 90% of people) the best way to get a silent PC. And it's the first, and sometimes only reason to go watercooling, for them. That's why their systems are low performing, but small, and with an emphasis on silence: small pumps, small tubes, small waterblocks, and few undervolted quiet fans, or very frequently now, passive cooling (zalmann, etc..).jenkx said:
