Wolfe's Den Vlog: Build A Liquid-Cooled Intel Core i7 PC
A liquefied-cooled PC is like the Hummer of computers, which is why I've always wanted to erect one. (Plus, it provides ample thermal support for overclocking.) This latest proposal came about because I wanted to top my last two quad-core builds -- 2008's QX9770 and 2007's QX6850 box -- and also because I wanted to log in investigate out the new Intel Core i7 processor. Click ahead to see a thin on the ground before video of the project's first phase, where I unbox the Thermaltake BigWater 760is molten cooler.
Early on, I assumed the project's biggest question would be working with the Core i7, because it's got a new socket, and also because it upgrades the RAM from DDR2 to DDR 3. (The LGA 1366 socket replaces the well-known LGA 775, which has been around for many years, right through the most recent Core 2 Quad processor m.)
