procooling typically is oriented to the maximum performance crowd
and most here have a fair idea of how to assemble such systems (even when wrong, lol)

the Europeans take issue with us because such systems are "not necessary" or "too big" or "too noisy"
and while these characterizations are value judgments based on the preferences of that individual,
certainly it is clear that systems designed primarily for low noise or small size or (even) low cost are going to be different

the increasing interest in small pumps is an example
that a small pump is not 'high performance' is clear, but they score quite high for space, and often for noise as well

given a small pump, what is the benefit of big tubing ?
none

so the productive discussion would be along the lines of how much performance for how little a system (substitute low noise for little for for the other aspect)

this is what the Europeans are doing, though the uninformed among them attempt to support their choices with allegations of 'fact' to deny that some performance has been lost

we will see more and more 'low end' systems as they are more cost effective
