Author Topic: Should I switch to water cooling?  (Read 840 times)

Should I switch to water cooling on my computer? My fan is pretty loud, as it is a case fan and is wired directly to a molex connector with no controller or anything fancy like that.
Seems pretty cheap to switch and I'd love to see the look on my friends face when I tell them I put water into my computer :)

If your tiny ass computer can even house a radiator plus fans on that radiator, if I recall your GPU consumes a large portion at the bottom.

no
just get a better heatsink and fan

You have two options here setro.

1. An all in one water cooler like what corsair sells.

or

2. Custom water cooling with wither Rigid tubing (Hard piping) or normal tubing, this lets you replace the pump if it dies and add or remove things from the loop, it is way more expensive than an all in one water cooler though.

But yes I say go for it, I use a Corsair H50i and it still does an amazing job, though I wish I had something better.

why would you get a watercooled case fan?
watercooling is for things that GPU or CPU

all i really want is a cpu cooler because thats the main concern

what no
as in, thats the fan cooling everything down right now
switching would silence it

and yo everyone telling me that stuff wont fit, it does, and i find a way.

put your computer in a bathtub full of cold water



just because its noisy doesn't mean you need to jump through hoops and get water cooling
just replace the fan?

water cooling still requires fans

yeah there's some pretty quiet case fans out there

maybe i should just advance in one of those fan speed controllers with the knobs
also i'm using one big thermaltake fan
