The design of the whole rig is pretty hot, but I find it rather stupid that the whole machine is dipped in oil and STILL needs water cooling...
The only thing that the oil really cools are the RAM modules and the south bridge. All the other parts are overclocked so far that they need liquid cooling nontheless.
The design of the backplate connectors looks really sweet, though...

Not water cooling. Just directing the oil at those specific areas. Still all in the same system.

Nope, it's a special oil that runs faster through the tubing. It's two separated systems in one aquarium. :P
