water cooled PSU!?

um... there's a small problem with his build... the POP at the end :(

Besides, you can get fanless 300w PSUs for about 110€ over here, and a watervooled 500w model fot 180.
 
thanx I hadnt seen that one :D
there are a few guides out there
and even a handful of supplies sold as watercooled

the POP is disconcerting however :p

I would point out however to anyone contemplating such a mod
that the heatsinks are not the sole heat source though they account for the lions share
so having at least some airflow is still recommended, it can be passive venting of course
Id just avoid a sealed supply as the water block may or maynot be able to keep the enclosure temperature cool enough by itself (greatly depending on if its an actively chilled system of simply a ambient room temperature water cooled one)
 
that was the one I was thinking of ;)
too bad they arent supplying more specs

Specs for the 350 are on this site. looks heavily biased towards the 5V rail. the 350W only runs at >17A on the 12 V rail. Of course with watercooling, you can likely count on having much more of the theoritical max available, but I don't know enough to do even a back-of-the-napkin calculation.
 
the pop was becuase he didnt isolate the screws from the mosfets so he basically shorted the entire psu...

i have seen similar mods done sucessfully
