Well no one really responds to any threads on this part of the forum or starts any new ones so I decided to start a new thread on water cooling. Water cooling is a really awesome way to cool your PC even though its really expensive. Its very convenient and keeps your CPU and Graphics very cool. Also with water cooling you could overclock your CPU to a higher speed without worrying about frying it.

Here's a link of someone installing a water cooling system in his PC. There are 7 steps and theres a video on about 4 out of the 7 steps that he does. Pretty cool check it out...

Very expensive...and if a connections leaks, there goes your PC, data and all!

Sorry, but I'll stick with good 'ol air:cool:
 
Yeah one leak and thats it, its pretty risky, too expensive for me anyway. Like red onion said "I'll stick with good 'ol air."
 
I do have a question, since i never dealt with water cooling I really dont know. If you have two video cards in SLI, are you able to have the water run through both waterblocks on both cards, and though the cpu waterblock, or will the water be too hot after it goes through the SLI to properly cool the cpu?
 
Well the water wont be that hot at all because the water flow is quite quick so the one section of water is not able to pick up heat a lot at a time so once it goes to the graphics card(s) it's still fairly cool. You would be able to do this as long as you bough an extra water block compatible with your graphics card. Most water cooling kits will only give you 2 water blocks (1 for the CPU and one for the GPU) so you will have to buy one more. Other than that it should be fine. :)
 
wouldn't a cheaper why to cool your system to buy a $30 box fan and take off the side of your case and put the fan on max?
