Default bong/closed loop idea, seems great, am i not thinking of something?

I'm back after a few months, i see the community has been changing and growing strong. cool to see.

Ok, take the idea of a bong cooler, and mix it with standard water cooling and you have this thing. It is a standard watercooling setup, with the rad sitting in a bong system that is completely separate. I have seen similar things, but nothing exactly like this.

the heatercore is at the bottom of the shower tube, but above the fan.
benefits of this:

The air comming in first cools the rad

The air also cools the falling water via evaporation which cools the rad more

the rad will be wet, and alot of evaporation will happen here, causing even more cooling on the rad. this also stops alot of the splashing noise.

the air from the fan will cool the rad just fine if the bong runs out of water, or something in the bong dies.









now, im sure there are a few tweaks that could be done to this to better the design, or even design flaws, thats why this post is here =)
have at it guys.
