Leufken Water Cooling Kit Review

Written
: 11/8/2000Tom Leufken was gracious enough to send us one of his new kit offerings, a
complete WaterCooling system! I've dealt with Tom before I took up editing here
at The Tech Zone, and he's got quite a good reputation among many in "extreme
cooling". Kudos to Tom for sending this our way!
Water cooling. I don't think I have to go into a Physics lesson here. Point
of fact, water is a much better conductor of heat than air. The main problem
associated with water, is that it conducts something else much better than air
too. Electricity! Spilling electrically conductive fluid across your mainboard
and it's components therefore is just bad ju-ju!
Water cooling CPU's has gained much popularity especially in the last year,
as it's started to emerge from being a "garage project" to one you can buy as a
kit, and assemble yourself. The design philosophy and component quality of many
of these kits varies, often widely, as does the overall price. In a kit, you
need to look at a few key areas.
With this viewpoint in mind, let's take a look at the Leufken Technologies Water Cooling Kit, and see what it brings to the table.
