Watercooling?

[CaffeinePowered]

Actually, I really could fry an egg on my XPS M1210. Just sitting on a desktop with something like say Folding running on a single core, the CPU/GPU both get up to ~85C (185F for us Americans). I have to prop the damn thing up on books, that usually manages to drop the temps 20-25C.

On my parents old PC, the fan blew out in the PSU, and I didnt know that when I was taking it out to do some maintenance, and I got a second degree burn on my finger

There is no need for water cooling unless you are trying to break benchmark world records.  Most high end air cooling will actually outperform most midrange water cooling system.  Phase Change cooling is a whole different animal though, however the cost is much greater.

You know, funny, i didnt say anything about oil or oil cooling.
Whats all the talk about oil cooling. I SAID WATER COOOLINNGGG!

I noticed something.  This forum likes to wonder around wayyy to much off subjects  ;D

You didn't say oil cooling, Zaneyard did and the subject shifted. IT IS INEVITABLE MR. ANDERSON ALJHFDJGFHGFJG

If you want to overclock your system, watercooling is better solution because it won't make so much noise like the huge fans spinning 10 000RPM

And this is indeed most valid reason to go watercooled... Silent PC's ftw...

Well I use sound when I play games so the sound of air movement doesn't really bother me.

i might go watercooling, considering that my case is huge. or a peltier cooler. i wanna get my cpu to 3.6ghz.

Peltier coolers = awesome.

Fuck watercooling.

I'd be freezing in my room if my computer wasn't heating out so much.

Also silent fans ftw, expensive, but not really much more so than a GOOD water cooling system. Also, moving water cooled systems is not fun, especially if you do it a lot.

I thought about it for a while, and decided it was too expensive to warrant a purchase.

I did, however, look for a budget pump and CPU block and wanted to attempt to make a "bong" cooler.

any horror stories?

[zaneyard]

any horror stories?

oh god, my neighbors computer was a horror story
just a couple bad mobo's but the bitch is hard to work on with tubes attached to it.

hopefully he will have it up and running this week. im gonna try to get him to write up an intro post.

[IdiotWithGuns]

yeah i would like to see what happened
i remember you were asking about the psu and shit
lol

there was nothing wrong with the water cooling kit, it is just a bitch to work around when you have to swap out a mobo


idk why, but the second mobo shorted out, the first one was just lame..

neways, it should be done sometime this week, so you will see him and I on the server soon.
