From the testing done by this company, it looks pretty amazing. What are your thoughts on it (v1, v2, and v3)?

You sure about the cooling Justin?  With a 3x3 Radiator I dont see why it would not work at least as well as a decent conventional LCS system

yep, works like crap.

temps were outrageously high, CPU temps were stupid high, and the GPU's were crazy high. and the temps that are most over the top they don't show, the V regs.
with that low of an overclock, temps should never break 30C with that temp monitor program, 40C is what Realtemp would show. appx. for $700 bucks, and have poorer temps than high end air cooling temps, is pure crap.

Hmm wonder if it the the difference in specific gravity of the mineral oil that cause the heat issues.   BUT it would be a nifty little rig to have just for the geek factor  Hahaha

for a basic, all stock PC it works fine, and looks pretty cool. but has no place on a high performance rig.

The fans on the rad were all set to low, so this could have been the reason for the temps. It does look nice, but then again it would be a huge hassle changing hardware, esp. the GPUs.

on high the temps were only 2.5C better, should be 25C lower to be comparable with water.
