Still extremely expensive when you take wattage into consideration

This:

Silverstone 1000W = 244.99$


Compared to the top one:

Koolance 1000W = 499.95$


I would say still not worth it.

Since when is coolant alcohol based?

How Much is a Good 1700W air cooled PSU ?

they are based on Ethelyn Glycol which is Alcohol (at least the ones i checked from CooolerMaster ,Thermal Take and Zallman ), you know it's alcohol but i won't suggest you try to drink it. it's a little poisonous for nervous and Hepatic Cells.

and why not compare them to these
PC Power & Cooling PPCT1200ESA 1200W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Active PFC Power Supply - Retail 579.99$

or this

Thermaltake Toughpower W0132RU 1000W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Certified 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply - Retail 334.99$

and you must consider the price of liquid cooling

[jjjc_93]

You're not getting the point are you? The extra price isn't worth the watercooling...

[Errectus]

i think he should do it and post a new build log so we can see it....i'm really curious as to how effective/ineffective it would be. It could be titled gtx295 on 400w watercooled psu.

Koolance PSU Reviews: http://www.hardocp.com/reviews/psu_p...ies/1/koolance

I am sure in some weird world, because of a bazaar need, some insane genius will find a way!

[cdolphin]

I am not sure why the conversation has degenerated as it has:
There is no real point in wcing your PSU, but if you want to, you can do it.
you will probably need to put it in a separate loop from your cpu and gpu as it does generate a lot of heat and I do not know what your planned loop is as it is.
You would, as suggested, want to buy some wb's online from more generic stores, maybe some TEC wb's would fit the mosfet on the PSU, I am sure you can find some blocks that will fit without having to mill your own. You may need to modify the casing of the PSU to fit the tubing and the wb, but it is all possible. I would love to see it done, as those prices are ridiculous for those PSUs, they are not even that efficient.
If you want to try it, I would love to watch and comment

[davidhammock200]

My personal prejudice is to "just say no"
as 120VAC & 230VAC can & will easily kill and water is an good conductor at 100V+ AC.

Finally an expert arrives

[jjjc_93]

I was waiting for one... You would think the OP would get the idea and just say no.. its innefective and as Dave has just come and said risky aswell.

They make them, they are expensive & some people buy & use them. I am sure that given the right set of circumstances they meet a real need, I just can't figure out what that might be.

[jjjc_93]

super super silent htpc maybe?

The need is as usual, LOTS of cash to blow, and as much WOW factor as possible.

You can't even compare the quality of the kooliance power supply vs the awesome PCP&C Turbo Cool 1200, the Turbo Cool is superior in every aspect.

[AlphaElite]

I thought about doing a seperate little loop for the PSU, but....Once again, I feel enlightened by all the feed back and links! It seems to me that the price verses performance on this one has reached the point of deminishing returns. Silent, yes. Wow factor, yes! Performance increase, slight. Needed, not really. I think I`ll pass on this one `till the next time. Thanks!

It's like you guys are part of the conspiracy or something. So like I flashed the firmware on my K00lanc3 1300ATX and downloaded the PSU overclocking utility PowerBoxOC from l33tpwner.com and like now I'm OCd to 14.1v, 7.2v, and 4.0v. It's like frustrating cause I can't get my 3.3v rail to over 4v not matter what I try even though I'm like on water now. This guy told me my picofarads are bottleneckin it. Mayb3 I should try a 9 x 140mm rad, but whatever. So now my 3Dmark75 scores is like 650 points higher and I can like ub3r frag everybody 0nlin3. So like would overclocking the PSU in my LCD give me a higher refresh rate cause my emo GFs eyes are buggin?

I couldn't resist.

A liquid cooled PSU would only be needed in an extremely hot climate and would require a chiller to maintain safe operating temps.

Not exactly, but if we can sync the erasatator to the bloomfield 5, then we should be able to finally exert manual control of both the primary spike generator and the displaced neutrino mass of the secondary harmonic, if this can then be folded into the primary electron surge then, at least in theory, there is no reason NOT TO BELIEVE that we can successfully raise the dead while at the same time putting us, at least temporally, within the Sol Dyson effectively, again at least temporally, ending all life, as we have defined it, not only on the 4th rock, but the second & very possibly the 3rd as well.

Excellent Work!
