Planning on building a PC for Christmas and I'm wondering what the forums...

Put it in a case to keep it dry and put the case with the cpu in it in the liquid.

[shitlord]

well that would defeat the purpose wouldn't it
you mean put it in a sealed case under the liquid?

it wouldn't work at all and infact might act as an oven

Just in-case OP is taking Bisjac seriously I'd just like to remind you to not. Bisjac works exclusively with high-end computers, AFAIK having a budget is almost completely unknown to him. Bisjac only really has experience worth listening to once you're spending about $1000-1200 on a system.

George's build looks good for $400, you can get a cheap legit copy of Windows from here: https://www.reddit.com/r/microsoftsoftwareswap/ just pick a guy with a lot of positive comments and a "verified seller" or "moderator" flair to buy from

well op wants to do watercooling and bisjac knows a bit about it so is trying to help him out but yeah its very expensive and i think out of the question for a first build

Op is not doing watercooling for $400-500, it's a waste of time and money and there's literally no reason to do it.

Bitch I might.

Bitch I might.

I hope not, for the money you'd spend on an AiO you could get something that'd actually benefit you, like an SSD for your OS and favourite games/programs

yeah. Seriously, don't water cool with a budget this small. Please.

Alright. If I can bump it up I'll see if I can.

[Tokthree]

Alright. If I can bump it up I'll see if I can.

Let me put it like this; can you put the money towards a more powerful CPU, GPU, larger case, more fans, nicer peripherals or a better monitor? If there's room for any of that stuff in your set-up then you shouldn't spend money on watercooling any portion of your build

[Space1255]

Alright, I'll take your word for it.

[Sheepocalypse]

I need to fix my computer, mobo is fried :(

[Space1255]

Let's meet up and collab bro
We're gonna light the earth on fire with our mixcomputer

[Sheepocalypse]

I have a question
Can I just swap boards and I'm all good from there? I want to keep all of my data.
I'm not too educated when it comes I PC, so is the OS part of the hard drive?

if you get the same model motherboard you shouldn't have any problems at all aside from having to go through the process of unplugging everything and putting them back in

so is the OS part of the hard drive?

it's... on the hard drive
