This is the "WATER" PC built for the AIR VS WATER display we created for PAX East 2019.

The whole purpose was to create two identical computers, running the same hardware and same stress tests. The only difference was the cooling setup. The computer was part of a giveaway during the show and has been running ever since it was given to its new owner

This computer ran at full blast the entire show, with the boost mode enabled and peaked at 80c. Yes the cooling makes night and day difference, but the whole point was to show WHY water-cooling is more efficient and would ultimately keep the temps lower.

The "AIR" computer had issues with thermal throttling and had to underclock the CPU. In its defense the computer had an AORUS CPU cooler and a vertical mount tri-fan GPU.
