As mentioned, the HydroCool200 uses 3/8" tubing and fittings which connect into the back of the unit with quick-connects, for easy removal and installation when moving or carrying the unit around, making it a bit more portable
So close! I would have loved to see that unit with my block and a friends of mine for a common platform. Why not 1/2?? ohh welll.
I liked the thermal plugin on the block. Too bad its on the top! What were they thinking?

It looks like they got that microchannel thing going on. I knew that would appear in a commercial app soon outside cathars design. I wonder how far away it is from his?

EDIT: just read Kyles article.
HardOCP did some cool stuff to give us more info than ANYone else. That gave me the answers I needed to write it off with those flow problems. Tom's hardware wouldn't have ever given us that. The only beef is publishing numbers from a stripped version (nickel plating) then a modified. Oh well. I still recomend the {h} article.

Yeah, was a pretty good article with good pics of the block taken apart and stuff. Would disreagard the temps pages though.
