Ok, you started modding your case a year ago. You have CCFLs, LEDs, and a fancy window installed. With the recent release of Unreal Tournament 2004, you delved into the world of Overclocking. You have pumped your Graphics card to the near “meltdown” state. You have 12 Tornado fans to blast the heat out of your case, and now your CPU is heating the whole house! Now its summer and we are sweltering in the heat and noise of the PC. Then there are modders like DickNervous and GruntmaN who brag about their benchmark scores and PC performance till you want to puke. What’s one of their secrets? Watercooling...

Yeah, water in the PC, it’s a scary option at first. Then you think about it, silence and cooling, and decide to go for it. There are many different watercooling systems available, so it can be hard to choose. Some modders create them from scratch and others mix and match parts.

For the watercooling newbie, finding all the screws and clamps at the hardware store can be overwhelming. Fortunately, several different manufactures are designing watercooling kits. Everything you need in one box. Evercool did just that with a CPU and GPU cooling unit called the WC-201. So let’s see how it stacks up.
