Talk:Water cooling

message: Water cooling for computer did exist well before the Cray 2 (1982).  Actually, it was the base cooling of numerous mainframe including the IBM 360 dating back 1964.

message: Does water cooling reduce computer noise relative to the alternatives? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.217.231.27 (talk • contribs) 
:It can, depending on how far you take it.  In my system (the one shown in the photo), I have a fanless radiator for the cpu cooling...but I still have fans for my power supply, harddrives, and graphics card.  I would think that if you had a relatively extensive watercooling system that it would reduce the system noise, or at least remove the watercooler radiator fans from the area immediately around your computer (like put it in another room). --Syrthiss 16:51, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Water cooling in biological systems 

message: User:Thumperward's recent tagging would be more useful if better focused by explanation on this talk page. The Lead too short tag specifically requests talk page discussion of the perceived inadequacies. Although the deficiency to be addressed by the reorganise tag might be inferred from the edit description rm excess bold, the article title seems to be the only bold text. Perhaps the edit summary, which may soon be lost among other edits, referred to the Industrial cooling water regulations paragraph of the Environmental considerations section?
An unexplained reorganise tag seems unnecessarily confusing in view of the previous discussion about possible subsidiary articles covering certain subsets of water cooling applications. Thewellman (talk) 17:37, 22 September 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: The lead is five sentences in one paragraph, which is wholly inadequate as a summary of all the article's key points (per WP:LEDE). The diff which removes excessive bold is in line with MOS:BOLDTEXT, which discourages the arbitrary use of bold to emphasise terms in articles. The  tag plainly pertains to the way that the article incoherently leaps between concepts and disparate examples (ending with a discussion of the underlying science) instead of coherently discussing the content. At least the first two of those points shouldn't have required more than the most trivial examination of the text to comprehend and the third is warranted by a fairly brief skim of the article contents. If they're not addressed in time by others then I'm sure I'll get round to fixing them all myself. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 16:48, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thank you for the explanation. I suggest revision of the lead might best be delayed until the article is reorganized. With respect to reorganization of the remainder of the article, I suggest merging contents of the Nomenclature section into the Advantages section expanded to describe the unique thermodynamic properties of water, mentioning its abundance and lack of toxicity, and explaining the fundamental difference between evaporative cooling and recycle cooling loops (both pressurized and unpressurized.) Other nomenclature could be put in the Disadvantages section including subsections on Chemistry and Environmental considerations. Talk page comments indicate many readers find this page searching for information about a specific application; so I suggest those readers might best be served by following the aforementioned sections with sections devoted to applications including computers, steam power plants, internal combustion engines, firearms, and evaporative cooling by flora and fauna. Some of these sections might be summaries with main article links to more focused description of specific applications. In the absence of alternative suggestions, I will commence such reorganization.
