Watercooling is nice for overclockers and for looks and a quiet system,but buy a good pc case,add some quiet coolers and you have an effective way of cooling your pc,all that hassle for 5 degrees,i think you notice more then the pc does..
I never liked the idea of having water run around my componenents,condensation,erodation etc...
But thats just my 2 cents.....:p i would buy the 8800GT,alot of my clanmembers have one(or two)and i allways hear great things about them..and you can allways jump to watercooling when you feel like |
Well you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.
Yes; a junkyard heater core. A heater core is a tiny radiator, no more - no less. But a heck of a lot cheaper & thousands of water cooling users around the globe are running them as we speak. If you're twitchy or lack the ability to pressure test it with a water hose then go to an auto parts store & buy a
NEW one....still cheaper than a purpose built one for a P/C.
The reason you use
distilled water is because it doesn't conduct electricity like regular water will & it's not nearly as corrosive - the
water wetter I suggested is to negate galvanic corrosion.
Five degrees of cooling is just an arbitrary number btw; I get much more than that.
As far as water cooling for looks? I think you have water cooling mixed up with all those fans, mine is
totally 100% contained in the case! No fancy windows or spinning led's.
Edit: BTW my P/C's been water cooled as I mentioned for two years now without a hiccup, without a leak, without a change of coolant. Not sure why everyone is scared of what they don't understand but I'm living proof it's easy, it's reliable, it's the best performing cooling solution there is & it can be done affordably with a little leg work.
