Water Cooling Section.

So long as they move some of the obvious posts like the water-cooling gallery (I started), I'm all for it. Oh and make the gallery sticky #1.
 
Mods, any news on this? I wouldn't mind providing a sticky thread full of general information and some other useful links etc, as well as pics of my upcoming build log, and also a video to show how it's done.

The forum would also be a great place to show off some fantastic custom builds, and also for specialised information, such as going beyond simple watercooling and going into phase changing for example.

I have seen a greatly increased number of threads asking for information on watercooling, so now seems like the perfect time to introduce this, and also get some more sales for OcUK, as the more people are interested, the more likely they will be to spend money on the stuff.

Also, what was the yewen debacle? I need a laugh :)

He was the OCUK buyer responsible for the water cooling section; now an ex-employee apparently. I'd love know the story myself. NathWraith is the man to ask.
 
Note to self, when OcUK offer you a refund so they can send your order out and you can order the parts from another company, don't do it.

Had my case/barbs/etc etc all sitting here waiting for some tube and a rad xD

More watercooling please OcUK :)

Great news. Though can i make a suggestion? No H50's/H70's ext. That way it can be kept clean for custom loops.

Sorry but I disagree with this, H50's, H70's etc etc are still liquid cooled albeit they are AIO systems so why not create a new forum called "Water Cooling" and create a sub-forum for AIO's like the H50 etc? Many people I feel (myself included) start with these AIO systems before progressing to full loops so this will then cater for everybody but you won't get them all in one section.

Kill two birds with one stone... so to speak :)

Overall I hope this does happen, for enthusiasts water cooling is pretty much a given today and hopefully it will encourage OCUK to stock more WC kit.

You do have a point, I myself am using an Antec Kuhler 620, before I progress to full WC in early may :)
 
I often feel there's a smidge of elitism and snobbery when it comes to watercooling and the h50/70 hate is not useful. I dont see it being a big deal having h50 type products discussed in a watercooling forum as its often a stepping stone into the bigger world of water cooling for those not as confident to make the jump first time around.

If you could change the CPU block, add in a gpu block or change the coolant to a h50 type cooler then fair enough but as this cant be done then it should stay out of a custom water-cooling section. :)
