For a long time, I was a cooling enthusiast; it was water or nothing. However, as improvements have been made over the last few years, the idea of air cooling has become an attractive option.  The days of drilling holes in my case for mounting radiators and clumsy water pump configurations have gone out the window.  Although nothing looks as cool as a water cooled rig, it is troublesome to maintain, a bear to move to a new case, and it can get expensive.  Stock heatsinks have come a long way too and, with their improvements, other manufacturers have stepped up their game. GlacialTech has an inclination that the Alaska can find itself a home in our bench rig. Let's see if that assumption is correct.
