Cooling Pug: watercooled PSUs

So any leaks don't drip on the electronics? Seems sensible enough.

 

if the leak is inside the PSU ... bad. but the connections them selfe could be outside the PSU but inside the case...

 

If you expect the connectors to leak why would you have water cooling in the firstplace? you can't get awaying with putting the CPU block outside the case so why bother with the PSU?

 

Hmm, it seems AC have them too.
I just ordered one, so I'll let you know what it's like when it gets here.

 

Hm... Why's the 350W PSU cheaper than the 250W version by 60 Euros?

 

maybe cos its in a standard case and stuff, the 250 is very high quality by the sounds of it and its got a custom enclusure and anodized bits.

 

Well, after what seemed like an age, the CoolCurrent finally turned up this afternoon.



As Fatboy said, it doesn't quiet have the same allure (or bling factor) as the AquaPower.
The thing I wanted to check out which I think also counts for part of the price difference was whether it had the inbuilt relay feed.
It doesn't, so there's another good reason for it to be cheaper.

Also, the AquaPower is autosensing on the input voltage and so will accept any input voltage from 100V - 240V, 50 - 60Hz.
This one is 230Volt only.

Specs from the label for the curious

 

If its a 350W PSU why is the total 197W ?

 

The 350Watt quoted is Peak, as with most PSUs.

[Edit] The 197W is sustained (think RMS vs PMPO with stereos)
