MP 7,1 Waiting for Mac Pro 7,1 A1991 (no more)

Home made liquid cooling is something I wouldn't do myself. With the low $$$Cdn value, component price are too high for me to risk it. But modern setup from major brand like those on GPUs I wouldn't mind. At least I get a waranty with it or someone to sue in case of a catastrophic failure beside myself...

CLC's aren't all that great if you going to go water build a loop there are even kits now.

Any respectable vendor will cover any failure for their parts and additional damaged parts. I say this as someone who just recently went through an RMA with a watercooling manufacturer. (motherboard and gpu fried)

And this isn't meant to deter nor promote watercooling. Just use what you like, think looks cool, will benefit the system most, costs less, or any of the other myriad of reasons affecting a decision.

I don't think Apple should do watercooling, the G5 leaks though rare were a huge PR bomb, They should stick with something reliable.

I do a closed-loop cooler on my PC, not that it makes any difference as I don't overclock my I7 4770k.

I think GPU cooling would be nice but that's a pain in the butt.
 
Heatpipes are far more advanced and efficient now than they were in 2003.

Go read some reviews on Noctua and Phanteks stuff. They give the water solutions a run for their money.

I've run a water-cooled custom loop since the late 90's for my own personal high-end PC builds. I do it now more out of habit and fun than practicality. The production builds I do for 3D modeling and point-cloud scanning are all heatpipe coolers. Fewer moving parts, and often a little bit quieter.

Liquid cooling has changed since the G5 days.

Still a mess, and actually few (if any) system really need it, I totally agree with aiden about this.

I could consider Phase-change cooling but there is none available yet worth to consider (too-expensive).

FYI is safer a system with goof heath pipes (actually a sort of phase-change soltion) and fans than liquid cooling.

Liquid is not the simplest solution.

Yeah, but that's not really how Occam works. There are more variables involved here. Space, airflow, temperature, etc. Air might be the solution for a given situation, whereas liquid might be for another.

Occam generally refers to explanations of an occurrence, with the one requiring the less assumptions being the better one. In this circumstance the solution of air or liquid isn't an explanation, rather a solution.

Well if it ain't the Mac Pro...
And it ain't the Mac Mini...

Guess it's the iMac, right? You know, the one with the for it's time on release decently priced 5K monitor All In One, with the wide color palette, Quad Core i& 6700K that has just had its replacement get to market...

Early is Jan-April (as in early, mid, and late; 4 months a piece). Q2 would cover April-June (including WWDC), right?
Apple could easily do two events, a Spring one and WWDC like the last two years.
