A Guide to Water Cooling

alt

Today we are going to be taking a look at the process of water cooling a computer.  Before the year 2000 this was an elite modification only done by a few.  Almost all of the parts were custom fabricated or taken from automotive scrap yards.  With computer parts getting faster and hotter after that point, many companies decided to capitalize on that small market.  A few companies began to make “hobbyist” water cooling components.  These parts have continued to increase in quality, improving performance and making the process easier than ever before!

Normally this is where I would put the "About us" page from a company's website.  Danger Den is too focused on producing new equipment to bother writing one, so this will be a bit more informal.  Danger Den is a company headquartered in Astoria, Oregon.  If you have ever looked at a forum that discusses cooling, then you have surely seen the name Danger Den!  They have a reputation as a company that offers high quality products at a fair price and industry leading customer service / technical support.  They offer all of the parts needed for water cooling, including many all acrylic cases to show off your gear.  Their beatiful waterblocks for CPU's, GPU's, and more appear to be their mainstay.

The Feser Company produces some of the best radiators and accessories for high end water cooling systems.  All TFC products are made in Germany and live up to the finest quality craftsmanship that you would expect from that region.  By paying attention to the details and learning from other companies design mistakes, TFC has managed to produce some of the highest qualilty and top performing radiators.
