Water cooling is certainly nothing new in PC cooling. Many extreme overclockers have been using them for some time now. Even my old DIY water cooler is already more than a year old. However, I was having trouble maintaining the system because I have to add more than 1L of water everyday, just to account for the evaporation which is a problem that cannot be solved unless I use an inline pump.

Before copper became popular, aluminum was the most commonly used material in PC cooler. Heat sinks and waterblocks back then were all made of aluminum. Since the scorching AMD processors were producing up to 100W of heat, copper heat sinks or waterblocks had to be used to cool them.

Afraid of water cooling? Well, it's getting easier and easier to add a water cooling system to your computer. Just hook up the system, fill in the correct amount of water, check for leaks and you're ready to roll! Commercial kits are pretested for leaks before they reach your doorstep so there's no excuse for newbies not to try out water cooling.

The kit I'm going to cover today is so easy to use that it can classified as 'newbie friendly'. Best of all, unlike my old DIY water cooler, this water cooling kit is almost maintenance-free! Do you need to add water every week or every few days? Not any more!

Overclockers Hideout is one of the oldest water cooling vendor online. OCH was founded in 1997, during Intel's Slot 1 domination. Before I start this review, I would like to mention a few things.

Although this is a 100% sponsored sample, I will try to keep it as unbiased as possible. If you visit some of the forums, this is one of the most controversial product. I've read comments from some of the posters that goes like "Your case looks good, except for the OCH parts!". I'm not pointing at a particular person or forum but that is just the general idea of what some of the forum members think.

So, this is why I asked for a review sample from Scot Mack "Outlaw" (OCH). Nothing is perfect. Surely this product is no exception. But is it as bad as they think? I will try to explain in detail about the parts, installation and how well it works with and without a peltier because only water cooling allows you to use a high wattage peltier.
