do you watercool?? obviously not because if you did you would understand all the risks involved such as water going everywhere, and killing your pc....or waterblocks unable to mount every single place in your pc so you might crush something while trying to fix the waterblock!!! ever tried watercooling a psu?? no but that doesnt need cooling now does it?? also, in most pcs (not sure about urs) there are plenty of cables/wires.....physics will tell you that any current carrying wires, especially when coiled will produce and em field, which can cause a voltage to be induced and heat to be generated...how would you cool that?? set the whole pc under water??? dont meant to start and arguement, but seriously think about what youre saying... ....now lets all play nicely.....
lmao, flix, your so wrong. if done correctly, watercooling is not dangerous at all. watercooling cools better than air, and is quieter. so, shhhhhh. .icecube
you didnt answer the question my good sir, and you never mentioned the fact of it being done correctly....all you said is that watercooling is not dangerous at all and i was pointing out the flaw in such a statement... dont take it personally....tis not good for your karma....
lmao, i havnt personally got a watercooled system, as i dont OC much. but i have seen and used many watercooled systems, being built and using them. i tell you, they are very quiet. and were coming off the topic of my argument here, never mind the thread! basically... issac said you cant have quiet PCs, and he stated you can only cool CPUs with watercooling. why do you all look up to him, i know hes a mod, and hes intelligent, but hes WRONG, so why not have the balls to tell him? jeeeeez! .icecube
i like your way with words...very eloquent.... even watercooling is completly quiet...im sure its quieter... and its not about lookup to isaac, and telling him hes wrong, its about making a statement, which i did...nothing to do with what isaac said... we are seperate people on these forums you know, so each can state what their own thoughts derieve... is that ok with you sir??
anyway back to topic on this, I doubt my lil cus wants watercooling, but something a lot cheaper. The PSU fan sounds like a good idea, ill put it in there for him and tell him he can like it or give me his pc
Icecube, you are entitled to your opinions but the condescending and in some cases rude replies in this thread are not condusive to the friendly atmopshere we like to maintain on these forums. As I said, you are entitled to your opinions, but there is absolutely no need whatsoever to be so rude when someone disagrees with you. Please, back on topic...
Water cooling isn't an ideal cooling system for everybody, personally I;d rather put up with the noise of my CPU cooler than risk running a water cooled system. Fans may breakdown, and so so long as it's not the one on your CPU cooler your fine, if for example it's a case fan, toss it out buy a new one, they aren't exactly expensive. Water cooling on the other hand, pipe bursts you switch on and not klnow it, dead PC and the possibilty of dead user. I thik I'll take the noise and live.
I shouldn't really make personal comments on the open forums, but to icecube.... You try to give others advice on something you don't know much about yourself and won't accept you're wrong when really you don't have any experience whatsoever. You say you have experience with watercooling but you infact only built your first system less than a month ago under my instruction, your last PC was a Packard Bell and almost everything you know about cooling you have learnt from this forum or from me, so please be more gracious. People value your opinion, but you should be more respectful of other people's knowledge. Even if you were right, you shouldn't make nasty comments on these forums, the friendly atmosphere is why people like to come here rather than [H] etc. Please don't be offended, just thought you needed bringing down a peg or two. EDIT: I do think watercooling can be great if done properly, and the risk is often worth it for people like us who want to have our cake and eat it. My next rig will be watercooled.
For some people (myself included) a water cooling solution is completely inappropriate. I travel a lot with my PC up and down the country to LAN Parties and such. Using a liquid on your desk is fine but I'd have to drain it everytime I wanted to move the thing and thats just not my idea of fun And on the problem of noise? It just gives me an excuse to pump up the stereo :dude:
Yeah I have a whole bunch of old PSU s sitting around from the nes I have procured from uni, I even have a dual AT board and PSU, and two highflow 92mm fans. All I can say is that they are great on the cheap. if you can find an old 286 or an xt at your local cash converters or the like you can procure a fan, a keychain or two and a good wall decoration for not much cash. Now that this fine upstanding Bit techer's problem Has been solved I hop the mods will look at the off topicness of this particular thread and "mind the doors".
I would get him an alpha, with a quiet fan which will give you quiet + coolness. Then I would put one case fan, on the hole nearest the CPU. That should really improve temps, get some AS2 too.
ok, sorry. its just that, im right, and that issac and you guys just wont admit that hes wrong. and Adam, what the hell are you on about? i hardly know you, first system, weeks ago ?!?! are you insane!??!?! and i have an old Packard Bell Club75, which i got for very cheap a few months ago, which i will use as a server or something. .icecube
My comments were qualified by basic common sense. If you throw enough money at anything, you can do something, but I very much doubt that 99.999999999999% of the computer-buying public do NOT wish to spend upwards of £300 on waterblocks for this, that or the other. Thus, Air-cooling is necessary for that vast majority, and it isn't only for the CPU. Show me where I "stated that you can only cool CPUs with watercooling". It seems the majority of people on this thread don't feel that I'm wrong. You're choosing to go to an extreme minority case. I working to the majority here.
right. to clear this up... first of all, when this debate started, money wasnt involved, you bluntly said "you cant have quiet pcs". You Can! Where you said about only CPU, you said, there is other components like GPU, Harddrive ect which need cooling. Why has this turned into such a flame thread... Can we just leave it now, it would be best if all these posts where deleted, exsept the on topic posts of the thread. Just leave it here ok.... .icecube
