water cooling, anyone got it?

[Zaraki]

We use them at school, but personally i don't notice any difference in the way the pc runs...

Maybe it will survive longer?

 

idk, inform me about the differences plz ^^

water coolin provides more effeciant cooling for your components as it transers heat away much quicker and effeciantly. it doesnt make your components last longer, and you wont notice that a computer has water cooling at stock speeds, it when you overclock the components that you notice it, as you will be able to overclock them more than just on a normal HSF vairation.

 

Plus water cooling is quieter, so you will notice the reduction of sound eminating from your PC

A regular heatsink uses heatpipes to transfer heat from the bottom to the fins where a fan dissipates the heat into the air being blown through the fins.

 

Watercooling uses water to transfer heat from a piece bolted to the CPU into the water and then cools the water down by running it through a heatsink (called a radiator) where a a fan or multiple fans blow air through the fins.

 

Except for the extreme top end of both processors and watercooling equipment you're basically going to see the exact same performance as a $60-70ish heatsink since no matter what the temperature of the air blowing through the fins will be the same limiting factor. You cannot, under any circumstances, ever get below the temperature of the room that the heatsink is in.

 

It doesn't sound like a big deal but when you live in Florida and it might be 80 degrees INSIDE because of a broken A/C unit...

of course you can get lower than the outside temperature, but not when you're trying to use water in a way like that that is actually manageable . i've seen setups in person of people so insane they actually use dry ice!!

I dont know if you remember but in a thread a few month back I posted a link of an i3 or 5 I dont remember OCed to over 7Ghz on dry ice it was pretty fucking cool so to speak!

My broke yesterday IM PISSED LET ME TELL YOU right into summer fucking time!!!!!!!!!!!!!smd g,sabgkbavlasrvl

 

and did he say water cooling at school???? wtf

[Dark Torcher]

build a phase-change cooler for subzero temperatures, pow pow pow power!!!

[黒人 Black Chick]

Ive had a water cooled system before. It was pretty cool..but it does become a hassle when you need to change things out...seriously..if you get a new GPU..you need a new block...a new CPU..a new block. They have graphics cards that come with the blocks already on them...but they cost hella money.

 

You can save your 1500 you were going to spend on a kit and just get a regular computer.

 

I built a rig for 1700 and it runs just as cool as any watercooled system...just get a good heatsink!

ive been dieing to see one of these in rl

Trakaill!, My brother has his computer submerged somewhat like that, but his has little Fish Bubbles That come fromthe bottom (making it look u know artsy orr w/e u want to call it.) somewhat like special effects. :] but im tired. im going tobed.

You can buy and use those relatively easy. If you want true madness there's people out there using Solid Oxygen.

 

Think about the term "oxidizer" and how combustion works for a bit, you'll realise why it's insane.

[Dark Torcher]

because it puts out fires so you won't be able to cook anything in your house for a while since pure oxygen makes it harder to start combustion
