Why is Aqua Computer such an interesting topic?

[sd11]

Are you saying that non-conductive fluid doesn't eliminate galvanic corrosion? I didn't know they claimed that? Or are you saying galvanic corrosion can not be stopped?

YOU claimed it did, then again you've made so many claims, most of them false, that I'm not sure if you remember what claim you made when, or how true it was.

I'm claiming that it still happens even with the proper anti-corrosion fluid, granted at a rate so slow most need not worry. Only proper plating will fix this.

Quick fact on me I was in the US Navy (side track go Navy it's a blast I loved it) and corrosion is something we dealt with on a daily basis. You can't stop it with additives, only plating and anodizing (the latter of which isn't worth much when it comes down to it, and even plating will fail given time).

You're PR for aquacomputers is slightly worse then the PR Sony has regarding the PS3.

Whatever... I don't push it at every chance or you would see me posting about AC in every thread.

Bullshit. Every thread you compare a product to an AC product, and regardless claim AC is better. You also create failure threads from other products and scream to high hell like a stuck pig about them, yet when a failure issue in your "i'm a shill for brand" comes up you cry like a 4 year old on roid rage that it can't be so.

The 1 good reason AC is interesting, watching Ranker humiliate you left right and center.

It's not that interesting myself for many reasons. I believe that any good product doesn't need any form of promotion, just word of mouth. With this in mind, I can understand why D-Tek, Swiftech, Thermochill and others can sell their stuff without any banner ad, any pub or any sale pitch by their representatives.

Ranker is right, I see posts from manufacturers representatives listening to the crowd and making changes to satisfy them. I call them great service and I don't see this from AC (Maybe they are german and cannot follow XS discussions or they don't care about them).

The only nice stuff I see is the electronic controllers, which is unique in the WC market. I wish others could make the same and this might be your answer to why AC is interesting...

They don't need to advertise when they got places like XS that make my little comments about AC look like country bumpkin advertising. I doubt very seriously that they even know about XS and if they did I suppose they would just laugh. AC does listen to what people want and they produce it providing it is within their corporate philosophy. Why do you think they produce something new that no one has ever seen time after time?

So now AC is political agenda

It never has been by those that use their products. It only becomes a political agenda when people like you are afraid of what they make and do.

I'm going to bed now so I will answer your sniveling later today. Have a Nice Day.

You either have rocks for brains or are a paid shill. You brought up the political issue.

you take the cake for idiotic fanatic on the internets congrats.

Or are you saying galvanic corrosion can not be stopped?

I don't have the time or even care to read this but here's a link. the link

Its not. They make good products, but reading about them from the likes of certain posters around here reminds me of the global warming kool-aid crowd.

BTW, you kind of remind me of someone who got banned here a while back.

QUE EFF TEE

You should add that I just like to get a good laugh every now and then............

Wow! All my favorite flame buds all in one place gives me a warm feeling inside. I think one of the reason AC is such an interesting topic is that it has become the focal point for all the European, low flow, and bling haters. In retrospect I think you guys are one of the reasons AC has such topic longevity.

Or maybe it's a Howard Stern kind of thing: The haters want to see what I or they will say next and the liker's want to see what others or I will say next because they like the topic.

Are you finishing trying to prove that [H] is the mecca for all that is watercooling? Take your shots if it makes you feel better but how about just dropping the whole forum wars in general. I figured all of us got it out of our system the last month.

Sorry, but it came up in the topic and I guess I just got on roll.

Gabe listens because he knows its in his best interest to release what we want. If anything, it just demonstrates how influential the XS community is to manufacturers. Eddy of EK and Danny of D-Tek all follow suit when those within the community have a problem with their products. There's a reason why Danny is releasing a revised Fuzion GPU block and a reason why Eddy's released a revision to his reservoir . Their consumers demand a change, they comply. I'd rather have a CEO willing to give into the demands of his consumers rather than a CEO that ignores what it is that the market wants/demands.

Expect new revisions in the future that drop alu altogether regardless of mil-spec plating.

Now that would be highly unlikely given all the tooling, outsourcing, and thought already gone into this aluminum top endeavour. You guys at XS take too much upon yourselves if you consider you are the driving force of the WC market. Swiftech sells thousands of dollars of product to people who have never even see a forum. As Swiftech stated they were only making an accessory (was it $40?) for the Stealth cooler, just like AC makes an accessory copper core for their full cover blocks.

It's not that interesting. I just enjoy the flamebait.

FWIW, the thread here with 130K reads is like 40 people reading the whole thing once. (total waste of life)

Glad you enjoy the show! (see comments above)

Actually one person reading the entire thread = 1 view

Ranker is right, I see posts from manufacturers representatives listening to the crowd and making changes to satisfy them. I call them great service and I don't see this from AC (Maybe they are german and cannot follow XS discussions or they don't care about them).

They have their own company forum at www.aquacomputer.de and it is widely attended as they have a wide breadth of topics to discuss. The Electronics forum is also filled with people doing all kinds of interesting mods to AC electronics. Check it out you may be surprised. Take your favorite German translation tool with you.

YOU claimed it did, then again you've made so many claims, most of them false, that I'm not sure if you remember what claim you made when, or how true it was.

Please provide links so we can discuss this.

I'm claiming that it still happens even with the proper anti-corrosion fluid, granted at a rate so slow most need not worry. Only proper plating will fix this.

Quick fact on me I was in the US Navy (side track go Navy it's a blast I loved it) and corrosion is something we dealt with on a daily basis. You can't stop it with additives, only plating and anodizing (the latter of which isn't worth much when it comes down to it, and even plating will fail given time).

Well I can sea that your knowledge of corrosion in the ocean is good, but were talking water cooling here, right? I guess that is why everyone likes AC equipment so much being that they hard anodize the aluminum parts (reservoirs and small blocks) and provide a totally water soluble chemical that when mixed at the manufacturer's directions (2%) prevents galvanic corrosion from starting and negligibly affects the water cooling capability of distilled water.

You're PR for aquacomputers is slightly worse then the PR Sony has regarding the PS3.

You give me too much credit as I don't have the billions of dollars in sales to put out millions of dollars in advertising. I'm just a small time Euro user being drowned out by all the more vocal non-Euro crowd on the English speaking forums.

Bullshit. Every thread you compare a product to an AC product, and regardless claim AC is better. You also create failure threads from other products and scream to high hell like a stuck pig about them, yet when a failure issue in your "i'm a shill for brand" comes up you cry like a 4 year old on roid rage that it can't be so.

Sorry, but I got tired of finding threads that contradict you asinine assertion.

Hey I just found a recent thread where I told someone not to buy an AC product. Since you posted in that very same thread I can only assume you are a big bull shitter or have selective memory loss.

If you took the time to read (I assume you can or do you have a short attention span?) the AC threads mentioned above you would see that others and I have often took AC to task with pointed probing questions regarding AC QC and design issues.

The 1 good reason AC is interesting, watching Ranker humiliate you left right and center.

Only in your wildest wet dreams.

You either have rocks for brains or are a paid shill. You brought up the political issue. you take the cake for idiotic fanatic on the internets congrats.

Are you speaking in reference to my answer as to why AC components cost so much in the USA? I just answered a question as to why the stuff is so expensive here compared to other parts of the world. And yes a Democrat in the White House might make our money more powerful in exchange rates, which would decrease the price of AC goods here in the states. That isn't a political statement so much as a point on world economics and currency exchange rates. However, if you want to call it political then so be it.

Moved to new post.

BTW, you kind of remind me of someone who got banned here a while back.

And you remind me of someone who's about to get banned. I am tired of receiving complaints about your promoting AC.
