a. What is the most important feature in a CPU cooler? Keeping the CPU cool, and to a lesser degree, looking good

b. What do you like most about the Vantage ALC (as seen in the video)? The LCD with changeable settings.

c. What resources do you typically use to research CPU coolers when trying to make a decision on which one to buy (i.e. this website, magazines, friends and family, manufacturers website, etc.) This website, and other reviews.

[diluzio91]

A) Cooling ability, noise level.
B)The liquid temperature display on the pump/block
C)TBCS, Tom's Hardware

[billygoat333]

a. What is the most important feature in a CPU cooler? The cooling ability/noise ratio is important, also aesthetics can be a factor as well
b. What do you like most about the Vantage ALC (as seen in the video)? I like the fact that for a water cooling solution, it is very user friendly. I like the ability to change the settings on the fly for the system, the fact that it has a "brain" as the video says sums it up well.
c. What resources do you typically use to research CPU coolers when trying to make a decision on which one to buy (i.e. this website, magazines, friends and family, manufacturers website, etc.)? thebestcasescenario.com, cnet.com, and user reviews on such sites as newegg.com, amazon.com, among others.
