I think there is a lot more to it than just the personal issues. PC water cooling has taken a huge step backward with commercialization and simply the lack of need for it all together. That with a dwindling need for computer upgrades has slown the PC cooling scene down.

The real water cooling target right now should be GPU's however dropping the temps 30C on them seem not to help OC much but it can quiet the system down.

Also IMO the hobby got to technical for most around here and the fun was removed from it.

I know I have not thought a lot about cooling projects in a while. I have been doing a lot of other stuff. Just got back from a fishing derby on the WA coast in fact. Bought a new kayak and been fishing on most of my free time and have some other Internet related hobbies going on.

However I did mill a new Die sim and just received a DIY block to test against some of the other commercial blocks I got so I will be getting back into it a bit but not as seriously as before.

ProCooling has some serious potential left in it though.
