Selling cold beer to the Brits? That's a sure-fire flop.

True...OC'ers have been doing this for years. What's also been happening for years is the systems leak and coolant+cpu+electricity=BANG! (expensive fixes) :-)... I still don't think they've really come up with a truly leak proof liquid cooling system yet...

[RichInOC]

So does this mean they're the Coolermakers now?

[Willie Green]

The device, which was attached to a heating element that simulates a hot electronic component, has been tested with a refrigerant called R134a, which is used in household air conditioners and refrigerators.

R134a aka Tetrafluoroethane-1,1,1,2 aka Freon 134a

Four years no leaks on my old vapo...abused to the max. Condensation would be more of a problem.

[MD_Willington_1976]

This is a refrigerant system...if it leaks then the "liquid" evaporates...

[Andonius_99]

I stand corrected then...:-)

Kool !

Blowing stuff up comes with the territory, you are partially right. ;)

Which model of PS/2 did you have?

[Echo Talon]

nah, i dont use companies forums. I usually use review sites like Anandtech.com, hardocp.com ocworkbench.com and overclockers.com

"Gee, and when I saw the headline I thought it had something to do with providing poultry for our troops."

..and I figured somehow the chickens were keeping our personnel cool...miniature cooling devices.

....and I thought I'd read every word of

this month's International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer too. How could I have missed this?

Bump for later

OCworkbench is Pou Chen Groups lap dog, I'd take any of their reviews with a grain of salt...they are just bad mojo in the computer world..no really! ol "Bluetooth" is a real nazi when you say anything he doesn't agree with...he'll dump you posts PDQ if you don't tow his party line rhetoric!

OH YES! you are correct! Chen is a commie. I only use their site because they usually get prodicts for reviews before anyone else. They pick their favorites all the time like SIS.
