pah..... Id have built something better than that if I was going on the BBC

Who is David Penfold?

We were modding PCs 10 years ago, and first attempts at watercooling was not long after!

Would have been a little bit more impressed if it was phase-change cooled and its not even a impressive OC on air! never mind water! lol

Killing 2 GTX 280s what a noob!

PAH, i had my K62-450 (was that what they were called?) submerged in oil at -30C 10 years ago !!!

(it was a total bodge and ugly as hell.... but it worked.... kind of....)

Pah, showy glitter.

I dont think theres a person on this board who didnt do proportionately better than that "back in the day" before we all grew up and found other things to spend our money/time on! And when we were at it you had to get your hands a bit dirty, kids today dont know theyre born. I bet they wouldnt know a dip switch from a jumper.

Exactly what I was thinking as I watched it

Yeah, the article was more entertaining to watch the journalist.

However, it isnt an easy topic to broach to the masses, the only people who might think such a thing is cool would already know about it.

So the challenge is, if you were to produce a 3 min video on watercooling/overclocking, what would you say and do to make the video interesting to joe blogg, whilst being of merit to people who actually know what it is?

To make it sound interesting, hmm

Purchase 2 litre bottle of water
Open a pc and place it on its side, make sure the pc is switched on and running Quake or Unreal Tournament
Poor bottle of water on PC components

"Look this PC is cooled by water"  

Heh, I remember water cooling when you had to make all the gear up yourself, and Im not the only one here!  

Then I got more interested in girls and beer.

I remember that, but i also remember when it was cool to add Perspex to a standard beige case, or cutting an 80mm hole for a fan was considered extreme!

So what is cutting an 80mm hole in a perspex window?

Mega epic extreme?
