Cooling: Asetek WaterChill

To overclocking and cooling enthusiasts alike, Asetek, a company based in Denmark, is a well-known name. Founded in 1997 and coming out right away with the award winning VapoChill refrigeration cooling system, they have definitely made their mark in the world of intense and extreme cooling systems. As the demand for a lower cost unit that could provide good to great CPU temperatures increased, they came out with the WaterChill water-cooling system. Over the years, Asetek has strived to improve upon their original design, making needed and necessary changes along the way. Today, I am reviewing the latest revamp of the WaterChill, Version 3.0.

Will there need to be a 4.0, or has Asetek hit the mark with this incarnation? Read on, fellow seekers of chill, and let's see how well this newest version does. I would like to thank the good people at Asetek for sending in this unit for testing and review.
