I am about to buy a new PC from http://www.tekheads.co.uk , I notice they sell watercoolers, I assume they work like a fan, anyone know anything about water coolers, are they worth getting, can you recommend one etc
Water coolers actually work like a vehicle transmission or oil cooling system. Water is pumped through a sink/cooler placed on the CPU and returned to an exterior radiator mounted on the back of the tower. Hoses run in and out of the case carrying cool water in and hot water out. You might look at www.coolerguys.com or similar cooling websites for a more accurate description plus pics.
