FWIW my 'decidedly boring' was about watercooling in general, not PC.

Personally this is all just observation for me, theres nothing i can do to 'change' any of it (and im not whining, as i said, its observation) - im not technically minded enough, nor do i have the $$$ or equipment to do anything about it, and I dont feel the need to change the decline. I believe that the decline has nothing significant to do with the forum members, I believe its about the hobby in general - watercooling has reached the plateau stage.

Watercooling is at the point where all the 'good' products have reached pretty much the peak of what they can do, and in which case reliability of parts + ease of set up are becoming more important, which directly results in more newbies buying parts etc.

Im sure as hell not 'blaming' anyone, i couldnt imagine even wanting to be a tester any more, with the bickering, turn arounds in testing methodology - pH's lack of work is completely understandable, a hobby is meant to be enjoyable, i cant imagine putting hours into it and then being told that its not good enough, or that all the work that has been done is pointless, etc. Screw that for a joke.

My personal observation -

watercooling has reached its plateau, and no new parts are likely to make any significant impact on it, therefore, whats to talk about thats new?
