Watercooling/Liquid Cooling System - Pros/Cons/General Discussion
Alright- This is what we've been looking for on several different threads here in the watercooling forum: A watercooling/closed loop cooler pros/cons discussion thread. Depending on content and discussions, this thread might be included in the watercooling sticky.
This can be used for Q/A and discussion surrounding what is better, debates over concepts and designs or simply to provide a structured battleground for proving your point. However- there will be some rules to follow in this thread in addition to the usual forum rules of Tom's forums.
The rules are as follows:
1) I will be the primary moderator on a day-to-day basis. I will remain as unbiased as ultimately possible, but those of you who know me, you know my loyalties lie with full-blown watercooling. This being said, I also know there are infinite reasons a cooling solution may or may not be what a user actually needs. Just because I agree or disagree, doesn't mean it's due to my preference of watercooling. This should also be the stance of everyone who participates- be open-minded and know enough to know when you are wrong.
2) If you have an issue with another forum member's post, send me a PM with the information. Don't expect me to simply remove or edit a member's post because you don't agree with their response. I will not, however, put up with any slander, negativity, personal attacks, rude remarks or overall bad sportsmanship. I will make thread edits if I see this kind of activity, but if you are reporting activity from another user, be prepared to also support your stance on why it should be reported and edits/removals made.
3) If you offer information for debate, fully expect to offer links to data in order to support the claim being made by forum members wishing to debate your claims. I understand that we all are biased in some degree towards what we support, but if you are going out of your way to rock the boat- you better have the ammo to back it up. There is nothing sweeter in debate to offer up information, have someone question your stance, and then slap a link or two in a thread reply that gives irrefutable support for your statements.
4) Play nice. I expect this to get into some heated debates and everyone needs to remain level-headed and professional. I will try and toss a bone once in a while if the discussions get stale, so look for some random topics from time to time. Remember that this is a world-wide forum and expect users from all over the globe to read the information being posted. This also means that spelling, grammar and hardware availability will differ from place to place. Just be cognizant of everyone reading and posting.
