Hey, is water cooling really worth it? I heard it's a bitch to handle

If you're a retarded ricer fag or you're autistic about fan noise then maybe. Otherwise not in the slightest. Fans are good enough for everything that isn't extreme overclocking and overclocking performance increases are pretty pathetic all thjngs considered.

Put an ice pack right on top of your CPU. :^)

not really. It's only useful for crazy overclocking. A good air cooler will handle most cases for much less money

Liquid cooling is for fags 2bh

I've got an air conditioner system blowing air at 5°C into my system 24/7

NOW THAT'S A GAMING RIG

I am pretty autistic about fan noise, and noise in general.
I'll sacrifice a reasonable amount of performance for the sake of silence.

My roommate is literally deaf and he thinks I'm insane.

Closed-loop coolers are kinda pointless. One more thing to break, about the cost and capability and noise of high-end air.

Open-loop can be quite a bit better. Though that better cooling doesn't get you as much overclockability as once it did. It's also a lot more of a pain to set up and more expensive. You should go open-loop if designing the thing, picking out parts, and putting it together sounds like a fun hobby project to you, that's really the point of it.

Don't fall for memes, retard. If anything ever goes wrong, you'll have more to worry about than a couple degrees celsius.
