Dorm Fridge + watercooling = our coolest Core i7 ever

Did Patrick try to cool off a Core i7 using watercooling gear and a dorm fridge? Yes. Check out the video on the show: we got our Core i7 running cooler than ever, even during a nasty Prime95 torture test. The freezer in the fridge couldn't do it alone, though!

Want to learn the basics of water cooling your PC? Check out these episodes of Systm: Watercooling Is Fun and Super Cooling Your PC.
