Water Cooling: Iceberg CPU Liquid Cooling Review :: Introduction

Liquid cooling has come a long way in the past few years evolving from enthusiasts garage projects to a mainstream product line that is still taking shape as I write this review. Companies like Swiftech, Koolance and AHANIX all have their own liquid cooling solutions and there are many others venturing into this field of technology every day.

I still hear from people all the time that water and electricity do not mix. This is true but modern engineering and ingenuity allow liquid cooling to be a safe and efficient means of keeping CPU temperatures down. Overclockers can take advantage of the benefits of liquid cooling in a big way as lower CPU temperatures enhance a successful overclock especially when increased voltage is needed as increased voltage creates greater heat.

Another much looked over factor is that a liquid cooled system maintains a much steadier and constant temperature that its air-cooled cousins. This helps the CPU to run stably when it is pushed beyond spec by maintaining a consistent temperature allowing the CPU greater overclocking flexibility. And then there is the visual aspect as well, which can be an eye catcher if you have a clear side panel on your case allowing all the components to be seen.

The Iceberg is a very basic system that does not cost a lot of cash to purchase so even those on a budget can jump into one of these things for about $99.00, which is a not a bad price when all things are considered. I would like to thank www.exoticpc.com for providing this sample, thanks guys! In the end it is the results or as they say the proof is in the pudding, which makes or breaks a product. Does the Iceberg cut the mustard? Follow along and get all the details. Read on!
