[QUOTE="Avalon, post: 45513, member: 5184"] I agree with you, and with the growing speed of CPUs, fan ventilation just isn't efficient enough, or would get unbearable loud. It's just that the cooling liquid is based in water, which, as we all know, is devastating for every electric circuit. If it's well done, it will work perfectly and is a good thing... until one of the little hoses might have a failure which doesn't get noticed, and after a year breaks, kills the computer and, if sitting on a desk, can be dangerous for the user. I'm not against liquid cooling in general, but I would like them to use a liquid (or maybe a gas?) that's not harmful for circuits and the environment. Or better, researching on other alternatives. As you mentioned, a Peltier could work nice, but it needs a lot of power on itself and generates a lot of heat. [/QUOTE]
