Yep, i have a mobile barton 2500+ and its default voltage is rated at 1.45v if i remember correctly. Mine is overclocked at 2.2ghz which is 3200+ equivalent speed (ithink might be 3600) and the minimum voltage it needs to run 100% stable is 1.675V which is still lower than most normal processors run...

Yeah shathal i thought that at first, the speed of a normal ATA bus far exceeds what any cd/dvd drive is currently capable of alone so there is no obvious advantage in sata cd drives.

That looks pretty amazing 35W is very low considering my mobile barton 2500+ is rated at 45W! I guess you would be able to passively cool that chip with a big heatsink and good general case airflow.

I think watercooling a psu isnt that good for silencing as the amount of heat psus create is extremely high! You do not want all that heat put into your watercooling loop as you'll just transfer the noise elsewhere to the radiator fans having to be on faster/louder!

Wow looks like a good concept although i agree with the negative pressure comment, is there any way of "reversing" your design to have the fans blowing in instead of out? It would be a LOT better.

hmm if theyre restrictive, the worse thing you can do is couple it with a restrictive waterblock, 2 highly restrictive points in the system is going to annihalate flow. I think that a low restrictive, lower flow waterblock would go well with it as it works well in my system and also seems have to be...

Aah nice to know the ideas still being developed heavily. The eheim 1048 should be more than adequate, just make sure the waterblock isnt a restrictive type but more of a low restriction design, those are better fot the slightly lower flow watercooling systems. Also for the barbs, have you thought o...

ambient temperatures affect watercooling temps alot more than with air cooling ive found in my opinion.the difference is water should be alot more quieter and if not you can always get a bigger radiator.
