Although if apple decides to install a phasechange cooling system in a mac pro. Let me know it'll spare me the trouble of having to install one. : ^ ) ]]>Apr 13th 2008 11:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/asustek-low-cost-liquid-cooling-systems-gets-tested-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/asustek-low-cost-liquid-cooling-systems-gets-tested-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/18/geforce-8800-gt-upgrade-causes-headaches-for-some-mac-pro-users/2]]>Apr 13th 2008 12:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/asustek-low-cost-liquid-cooling-systems-gets-tested-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/asustek-low-cost-liquid-cooling-systems-gets-tested-reviewed/
But it's pretty sweet that you were able to find a way to cast me as a clueless Mac fanboy and tie this into an entirely unrelated article, nice job. Also, enjoy continuing to stereotype people based on comments they make on one article. We all wish we were as cool as you.]]>Apr 13th 2008 1:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/asustek-low-cost-liquid-cooling-systems-gets-tested-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/asustek-low-cost-liquid-cooling-systems-gets-tested-reviewed/
7% market share is a top 3 spot, so sure, that's probably not mainstream. Just as Britney Spears isn't mainstream because she doesn't have a 7% market share in the cd market.

There are only few things in life that are more mainstream than Apple. Too bad all their customers still think they're so unique and 'totally not mainstream'. It's like listening to MTV2 'alternative' music and bashing on other mainstream music.]]>Apr 15th 2008 7:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/asustek-low-cost-liquid-cooling-systems-gets-tested-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/asustek-low-cost-liquid-cooling-systems-gets-tested-reviewed/
comparing Britany spears market share of cd sales to apples market share of the OS world is kinda dumb and instead of posting a long list trying to prove my point i'll just post one thing.
1. Having a market share of 7% when there are only 3 competitors is NOT main stream (and unlike what some other people would post 7% is not pitiful, 7%is just about where Steve wants it, not to big not to small, and just right to keep everything running/looking/functioning the way a mac should), Now as to your 7% of the cd market comment Who the heck has even .5% of the cd sales market, DO you know how many artist/groups/bands release a cd a year, its near impossible to have even near 1% point for total number of cd's sold in a year

and just so you can experinxce first had wiether pc or mac is mainstream try this littel expirtment:
walk outside and and knock on every house with in a square mile ask rather they have a mac or a pc and tally up the results.. in the end you will find that although the ipod is mainstream the mac is not yet

The problem with these kits are four folds:

1) They have low water capacity, and water capacity determines how stable the system will be to absorb spikes in CPU temperature. Just imagine, it takes more energy to heat up a tablespoon of water by 1 degree than for a teaspoon of water. Full-on water cooling systems usually have a water reservoir for this exact reason.

2) These simple kits have "built-in" pumps that are just too weak. Higher flow rate leads to better cooling. You can have a gallon of water in your system and it wouldn't help on bit if the pump couldn't flow it fast enough.

3) These kits typically come with low-cost water blocks that are not as advanced in design as stand-alone water blocks - some of which costs as much as one of these all-in-one kits.

To summarize, water cooling is great because it gets you superior cooling, not because it lets you pipe water through your computer. Without superior cooling, a water cooling system in a computer is expensive, pointless, and ultimately stupid.]]>Apr 13th 2008 11:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/asustek-low-cost-liquid-cooling-systems-gets-tested-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/asustek-low-cost-liquid-cooling-systems-gets-tested-reviewed/Apr 13th 2008 12:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/asustek-low-cost-liquid-cooling-systems-gets-tested-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/asustek-low-cost-liquid-cooling-systems-gets-tested-reviewed/

If you haven't specifically tested this product, maybe you should be careful about lumping it in with your sweeping generalizations.

Even if it didn't keep pace with the best noisy air coolers, there is an attraction for a turnkey water cooler that outperforms stock air cooling, which is that it's a lot quieter.]]>Apr 13th 2008 1:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/asustek-low-cost-liquid-cooling-systems-gets-tested-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/asustek-low-cost-liquid-cooling-systems-gets-tested-reviewed/
Thanks. Thanks a lot :)

Actually I lie. I can't remember this at all, but I wanted to feel special.

On a serious note, this looks pretty good. Things can only improve from now on and this development looks like a positive step.

It sure as hell beats topping up my pc innards with ice cubes. Everytime I do, I have to buy a new pc. This has been a very expensive year....]]>Apr 13th 2008 11:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/asustek-low-cost-liquid-cooling-systems-gets-tested-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/asustek-low-cost-liquid-cooling-systems-gets-tested-reviewed/Apr 13th 2008 11:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/asustek-low-cost-liquid-cooling-systems-gets-tested-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/asustek-low-cost-liquid-cooling-systems-gets-tested-reviewed/
I thought the exact same thing. I have a PA120.3 for one CPU and a low-end GPU.

These kits are useless. If you are going to go water, build your own. Normally these pre-built kits are actually worse than the best air coolers - there is no point.

Never, EVER buy pre-built water cooling gear. It just is not good enough.]]>Apr 13th 2008 1:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/asustek-low-cost-liquid-cooling-systems-gets-tested-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/asustek-low-cost-liquid-cooling-systems-gets-tested-reviewed/Quit dicking around with it!

Water cooling is on it's way out, in fact, passive heatsinks will be the next big thing, I believe.

Why would you need water cooling for a laptop.

If you just wanted to write Mac Pro(the desktop), well I'm not sure if they work with macs or not(the hardware SHOULD be the same inside) you should consider getting a Thermalright 120 Extreme with a good 120mm fan. That thing cools much better than MOST water rigs and costs a LOT less.]]>Apr 14th 2008 12:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/asustek-low-cost-liquid-cooling-systems-gets-tested-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/asustek-low-cost-liquid-cooling-systems-gets-tested-reviewed/Apr 14th 2008 1:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/asustek-low-cost-liquid-cooling-systems-gets-tested-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/asustek-low-cost-liquid-cooling-systems-gets-tested-reviewed/Apr 14th 2008 4:39AM
