New watercooling companys ?

[Blackeagle]

I've seen differant refferances to new watercooling kits from big companys in the computer industry.

BillA posted about the new Corsair water cooling system & also about the Koollance that has been around for awhile. The Koollance isn't a very high performer and the Corsair system makes some hard to believe claims for the one they are getting ready to release. Also saw a post by Mota about a system coming called Exos.

Just how many differant companys are known to be getting systems ready for marketing?? I see strong and justified concern for the quality of these systems, but what has triggered this flood of discount systems from these companys like Corsair?

The Exos is a Koolance thing. http://koolance.com/products/product.html?code=EXT-A01

Thermaltake is already selling WC stuff. I bet there are quite a few bigger outfits getting ready to dump stuff on the market.

mainstream watercooling is inevitable

I was talking to some professor who used to work for intel developing the pentium II and the Itanium, and he was talking about how CPUs, in order to develop drastically, need a better way to be cooled than conventional air. They will just be getting too hot. But we all know this, I'm just reiterating the point. He said that watercooling is the most viable option, and once it is mainstream, they would be able go faster. It's only a matter of time before dell will be selling a cheap watercooled PC

I've always had the opposite view. I always thought processors are always undoing die shrinks where components and transistors are becoming smaller and smaller. I think the wave of the future would be the one Via is taking.

I think processors should be running cooler and cooler in the future.
