Koolance 1200W Liquid-Cooled Power Supply

I don't understand why all these people keep saying any liquid + electricity is bad. If the fluid is non conductive, it will almost surely do a much better job of convecting heat away from the parts that generate it. Air is a faily poor heat transfer material.

I do think this is sort of overkill on a power supply, but still people, don't hate on any fluid other than air.

This is obviously aimed at the super rich (or super stupid, take your pick LOL) with quad card setups

And super rich (read: anal retentive) computer geeks!

The fluid relies on the air to take the heat out of it so it can keep doing its job. Dont disregard air as such a bad cooler, it still performs a major role in ANY cooling application IMO.

The heat has to go somewhere...Unless of course your pump goes into an outdoor swimming pool. But thats just nuts

I'm not hating on air. I know the radiator uses air convection to dissipate the heat from the fluid. I was just saying a liquid + electronics does not necessarily equal fried circuity or a dangerous situation.

I didnt say that either, nor did anyone. But its still more dangerous than air .

....how many times do you have to read the term "non-conductive" to understand its perfectly safe. All liquid cooling systems rely on air but the actual cooling capabilities is because of the liquid. If liquid was such a bad idea then go to the case mod gallery and look at all the "morons"

ha thats what R600 will use to run the video cards in quad xfire

250watts X 4=1kw maybe they are on to something
