Here's a rare beast: an overclocked gaming system that doesn't use an Intel processor but instead uses a watercooled AMD one. But don't let that put you off, as YOYOTech's Water Dragon 940 is a capable, extremely well put together system unit.
It also makes a nice change that the name of a system actually represents what's inside, in this case Water as it's watercooled, Dragon because it‘s based on AMD's Dragon platform and 940 because it's powered by an AMD Phenom II X4 940.
The Phenom II X4 940 is one of AMD's latest quad core processors with 512KB of L2 cache per core (2MB total) and 6MB of L3 cache shared between the four cores. As standard it has a clock speed of 3GHz but in YOYOTech's system this has been overclocked to 3.6GHz.
Keeping the processor cool is a tidy water cooling installation courtesy of a Cool IT Domino ALC compact water cooling pump and fan combination. If the only water cooling you have seen involves huge radiators and big bore pipes which put you off, then this setup may change your mind about the whole liquid cooling idea.
