    Welcome aboard, mate.

    Mike, I believe the correct technical nomenclature is.... "water cooled doohicky".
    Hope this clears things up for you.:cheesygrin:

    Welcome aboard, mate.
    This what I like to call a computer enthusiast build. Water cooling to get a high overclock and great performance in games. I have my computer hooked up to my 7.2 surround sound system.

    Welcome Aboard. Impressive looking machine. Lots of good people and information on this forum and always good to have another sailor on board. Do they still do waterfall displays for sonar?

    Very cool design and build.
    I've always thought audio equipment would have less noise if it were cooled. Radio telemetry amplifiers and receivers are cooled to very low temperatures to reduce background noise. I would venture that significant improvements to signal/noise as well as extending component life if temperatures could be reduced. What is the name of the company who makes the water cooler system?
    Regards, Ken

    I water cooled my computer by self buying the parts,coming up with a lay out, and finally building/installing it.

    The tubes are white and orange and are prominently shown in the photographs.
    They aren't the vacuum type, they carry water for cooling.
    That is correct:)

    Welcome to Polk. That is a b@d@zz build! Now we have another rabbit hole to look into. Audio equipment gets very hot, watercooled sounds like a great idea. I imagine you are allowed real computers. I was just on the newly commissioned USS Spruance ddg1 and they were still using xp.

    I'm looking forward to hearing more about your setup!
