Watercooled Power supply

[ereshkigal181]

Just reading I ran across a new powersupply from Koolance. 1200 watt big boy. What makes it interesting is it doesnt use waterblock, nope instead everything in the powersupply is immersed in fluid.

"The PSU-1200ATX-12S features 85A over four 12V rails, modular cables, and 4 PCI-Express connectors for SLI and CrossFire support. It is able to unleash 1200W of continuous (1400W peak) power at greater than 80% efficiency by operating in a completely submerged state. This patent-pending design is superior to even "partly" liquid cooled and heatpipe power supplies. All internal electronics are immersed in a non-conductive fluid and dissipated through an external heat exchanger."

the concept is nice, but i still see a fan.

An answer to a question that was not asked.

Meh! Bragging rights is all.

Edit: I do hope it reviews well. At 700W output it might be able to be near silent.

Yet another e-PeePee.

damn that thing kinda expensive there lolz ;/

So...who's the OEM that made the internals? 😛

No one knows yet. Buy one and open it up. 😛

Topower?..A distant maybe.
Enhance?..A possibility but not likely.
CWT?.......A strong possibility.

At this point in time, if one wanted a 1kW unit and had $500 to throw at one.
Throw it at a PCP&C.

I'll pass. I'd rather have dual PSU's. I mean...a powersupply full of water...? That sounds like a horrible idea. If something goes wrong, bye bye to the ENTIRE system.

@Alone:
non-conducting fluid != water

ummmm... this shows how little you know about water. As soydios said, DI-Water = non conducting.

And yeah i had a leak b4 due to a faulty DD barb. And my system is still running fine after i cleaned and replaced the barb.

Didn't read the article, just pulled a bit of info out of it.

But from what I've been told, deionized water doesn't stay completely deionized for very long. Even DI water used in labs becomes even a little bit ionized after contact with certain metals.

ummmm, yes the water gets charged after picking up dust and such, but by the time it does that, you should of realized you had a leak. Its not hard finding a leak if you use UV dye and have 1 UV CCL. When you see something glow in a blot from a glance, and believe me it stands out really bright! you'll know to shut down and wipe and fix the leak.
