Dan´s Data has posted a review on the Senfu water cooling gear kit.
Liquid cooling has always been the simplest way to go when you want to extract heat from somewhere, and don´t mind putting a radiator somewhere else to get rid of it. If it works in cars, it can work in PCs. And the principle is exactly the same - tubing, pump, radiator. Indeed, some intrepid users have employed automotive cooling componentry - witness this effort, employing a Holden transmission cooler!Read more
This particular bizarre, bolt-through-its-neck creation comes to you thanks to equipment made by Senfu, a Taiwanese company that´s doing a reasonable job of bringing the esoteric technology of CPU water cooling to the masses. Or, at least, to anybody who wants to crank their processor´s speed up well beyond the point where conventional fan-and-heatsink cooling systems just don´t cut it any more.
Water cooling may make your computer look thoroughly extraordinary - even with a PC built in a conventional case, you still need to put the reservoir and radiator somewhere, and they´re likely to attract comment - but, done properly, it´s a reliable, inexpensive way to get substantially more speed from a CPU.
