Can you anodize steel? I thought it was strictly aluminum.

vThat's a pretty impressive claim for a waterblock, but believable, as the surface area of the waterblock is so large and the base is gold plated.
*COUGH* Large compared to what? How'd you measure? About the gold: So? There is so little gold that it doesn't really matter. Does plating add another thermal resistance (ever so tiny) to the block? Just wondering...

Rather than using 'standard' 0.5in outer diameter pipes
I can see why you'd put "standard" in quotes.

Now that I know what proprietary means, I find that comment amusing. Very amusing. I mean, 6mm tubing hasn't been used in Europe for years now, NA a long time ago (guess here) and in medicine for a really long time...

The two blue external pipes are pre-fitted with quick-release nozzles which self seal when you pull them out of a socket,
Finally something good about the Koolance... Does anyone know where you can get these?

The real unique selling point of this Koolance bundle, though, is the amazing Inertx PF5080 perfleurocarbon coolant
I never heard about that either... (not criticism)

It took us just forty minutes to build and fit the whole system into our dual 2.8GHz Xeon PC.
Does this sound abnormally long to anyone else?

These temperatures are a good 10-15 degrees cooler than with the Swiftech 22501 Extreme system fitted to the CPUs.
Can anyone confirm? That doesn't agree with anything I've ever heard, and this guy gives evidence that it shouldn't be superior...
Quote:
and it didn't leak all over our test PC
Yes. That's Swiftech's fault, not yours.
