Water Cooling question??

[JLV2k5]

Doesn't condensation occur within a water cooling system? If the interal air of a PC is extremely hot, and the water is running through a cooling radiator all the time, wouldn't condensation be a large problem? Thanks

nope, unless the water is VERY cold (radiator outside in snowy weather)

The inside air of a PC is not extremely hot, and i have never seen or had any condensation in my build or anyone elses

 

[JLV2k5]

Okay thanks. Anymore opinions?

 

[taylormsj]

Opinions on what?

 

[JLV2k5]

The condensation situation.. opinions from some others.

 

[taylormsj]

Ok, it still doesnt happen, unless part of the loop is extremely cold (in a fridge, outside)

 

[JLV2k5]

Okay, I understand. Thank you for the help.

 

[taylormsj]

Ok, well it still doesnt happen, unless part of the loop is extremly cold (in a fridge or outside for example)

no condensation won't happen to room temp water. you would only need to insulate for a chilled water setups or phase changes. water will never be "hot". most it will get is mildly warm because the radiator removes most of the heat already. there's not really "opinions" because it's already tried and true

No condensation will occur. As others have said, the water temp would need to be extremely cold for that to happen, as the air inside the case isn't much higher then ambient temp, while the liquid would be just about ambient temp as well, so the difference is only a few degrees.

The only way there would be condensation is if you were using LN2
