Well, as you probably know, the manufacturers of the Vapochill, Asetek, have come up with a watercooling kit called the Waterchill.

There have been a couple of reviews on the kit, which seem to say that its the best thing since sliced bread. Looking at the design, its pretty neat looking, seems easy to install, but my gut feeling, given the pump they use, and the waterblock design, is that the reviews seem slightly biased, for whatever reason.

Essentially, I don't believe that it performs as well as the reviews say.

I was debating this on another forum, and was pointed towards this document, released by Asetek, that has some very odd conclusions, in my opinion.

Best that you read it for yourself, it details their development process, why they chose the components and designs that they did.

Any opinions?
