Hey,

My current water rig is waiting for new tygon tubing, should be here tomorrow. In the meantime my stuff is in my old box being cooled by an sk6 with a 5000rpm "quieter" fan. I also have 4 case fans, all panaflows, all on a baybus running at 5 volts and its still a hell of a lot louder than my water rig.

Once you have had a water rig, everything sounds so loud. I think as long as people want quiet rigs they will stay in this hobby.

I also think that watercooling gpu's is going to overtake cpu's. For instance buying a ti4200 for $160 and overclocking it to ti4600 speeds instead of buying that ti4600 for $300.
