Has anyone used this?

actually if you use the proper recommended distilled water...or additives you would have no problem using the FrozenCPU NorthWater Xtreme Water Xchanger!!

Copper or no copper...this is a good product!!
 
In that review they used 3 of them at a cost of about $126. Temps droped 2C, and they have 6 more connections that can leak. Thats an absurd amount of cash to spend for 2C.
 
That is an ornament. Just like decorating a Christmas tree.

-and IT LOOKS GREAT! That is their bottom line, not mine. Very telling, inenit 😉

im looking for something a tad more astheticly pleasing than my rad i ripped outta an old pickup. it cools damn well tho.
 
Two theoretical strikes against it:

1- if you place it in the line BEFORE your other water blocks, its own efficiency will be increased as heat travels from higher to lower - so in this configuration it will remove more heat from its surroundings. But it will reduce the effectiveness of the downstream heat blocks for the same reason - the heat differential between the fluid and the device being cooled by the heat block will be lower so the efficiency of the heat block will be lower.

2- Now if you place it in line AFTER your other heat blocks, then its own efficiency is decreased on the same logic.

A solution would be to insert a radiator between each device to dump the acquired heat - or put each on separate fluid circuits. But of course, that opens yet more cans of worms re. cost, multiple connections and volume of fluid required... My judgement - NOT WORTH THE MONEY.
