That's why I never got into it. Something about electronics and liquid doesn't seem to go together to me.
I pay a group of malnourished Pacific islanders to manually blow on my computer parts and the deal I got is absolutely bananas! I pay them in bananas.
>>54444871
Couldn't liquid cooling be done with demineralized water or mineral oil (I guess you'll need a massive pump for this one) to prevent damage?

unless he was trying to push 5ghz why the fuck would you need water cooling?
an efficient air cooler is more than enough.
the biggest barrier to overclocking is ambient room temp, somthing a tiny watercooling radiator wouldnt fix.

Why the fuck would you do this? Spend the money on a card that doesn't suck dicks first.
>shilling air cooling
watercooling is more efficient, more silent and since it drives the heat away instead of just trying to blow it out of the case its better
bought enermax 120s and it was the best decision of my life, whole case and the cpu got about 10-15c cooler
>>54445169
>This summer i am going to pipe my AC directly into my pc case
Better to test it on some secondary rig for a few months first in case condensation kills your main rig.
>>54445534

Maybe
it keeps my room and a nice 22degrees C in like 50-60degrees + (Australia) so i doubt ill have to worry.
I made a custom loop for a friend a few years ago for gaymes and it's still fine. It was not only my first loop, I don't even run it on my machine. git gud fucking scrub.
>>54445169

Are you implying air conditioning doesn't cause condensation? Because leaking ACs are a problem everywhere
>>54445464
>since it drives the heat away instead of just trying to blow it out of the case
Do you understand the laws of thermodynamics?
The heat has to go somewhere, it always goes out the case.
>>54445075
If you look through his post history it even shows he was warned that it wasnt set up properly
>>54444871
Air cooled is best cooled.
>>54445464
enermax shills please go and stay go.
I'd like to think everyone understands that water cooling is in fact superior, but spending that much money when a good air cooler can take care of the CPU and an aftermarket GPU cooler does its job doesn't justify its cost.
And this is why water cooling is pointless in non multi-gpu setups where the cards are air starved.
>>54445620
except temperate countries where it's not needed.
You're fucking retards if you think install liquid cooling is hard and you leak shit on everything. I've dismantled my full setup so many times and I never do a "leak" test because I make sure the o-rings aren't dry-rotted, the tubes aren't kinked and weak at points, the tubes are properly secured to the fitting, and that there is plenty of water to get the system flowing to avoid damage to the ceramic fan in the pump.

You're a moron. AC actually dehumidifies air, it doesn't create extra moisture.
>>54445732
Are you as stupid as the guy in the pic?
The question was, why would you blow all that money on a custom look for "Muh Gaemz" when selling the old card and pumping that money into a better GPU is clearly a better idea.
>>54445841
Go cool your pc with your AC then and post results here

>>54445799

>>54445900
Its actually very difficult to make an air cooler stop working entirely, considering its just a solid chunk of metal.
>>54445111
THERE IS NO GOD DAMN FITTING ON THE FUCKING CPU BLOCK WHY WAS HE THIS LITERALLY RETARDED TO NOT USE A HEAT GUN TO BEND HIS FAGGOT ASS TUBES INSTEAD OF WASTING HIS REMAINING FITTINGS.
I checked his autism on reddit; his computer didn't "blow" out the fucking tube, it was just resting in the cpu intake (which he has this on wrong, most blocks the in is the center, and the out is on the right), there is no god damn fitting.
>>54445880
AC's have a tray at the bottom for water BECAUSE they dehumidify. The air goes through the radiators, water in the air is chilled and condenses on the radiators, and what comes out has less water in it. Pointing an AC at a PC will not cause condensation in the PC.
>>54445911
The fan died on my 212 and it still keeps my CPU cool just off case airflow. I haven't bothered replacing it
>>54444921
ROG boards are good, so is Skylake. Stay mad retard.

>Wasting money on a custom loop CPU cooler when you have a 960
The only time I buy liquid cooling is when it's idiot proof. Basically it's already built in like the Amd Fury X...
>>54445655
you live in ormond? looks like the loop that was right next to my old place in prine run
>>54445975
maybe he wants to OC it to 970 levels without the 3.5 ram issue mate
>>54446003
With the money you save not water cooling he could afford a 980ti
>>54445934
x99 chips are the worst chips i had the "pleasure" to use.
>>54445977
you're the only impasse preventing it from being idiot proof.
All these babies in this thread afraid of liquid cooling because one idiot fucked up his build because he only had one fitting on his cpu block.
you can see there was no fitting on his block before this happened. Stop acting like liquid cooling is 100% going to fuck up and you'll lose all your money. Don't be a retard and it'll work out for you.
>>54446040
The only reason I find a custom look retarded is the cost to performance ratio in real world applications is low.
Other than it looking really cool (which it does) I'd take air any day because 1) I'm not overclocking like crazy and 2) muh nostalgia.
>Falling for the custom loop meme
>Not even cooling your GPU with it
Just buy an AIO water cooler if you need to fall for the water cooler meme.
>>54444871
You're a fucking idiot.
You being incompetent doesn't make anything a meme.
>>54446073
or go for a cheapo closed loop
>>54446040
Or I could not go through all the hassle of setting it up and maintaining it and put the money towards a better CPU and GPU?

Sure it might suck dick for cars but air cooled CPU's are not a meme, the only reason the Fury X has it is because AMD do the housefires now and not nvidia
Fucking weird times.
>>54446117
That's an option, but even then the pump just adds another point of failure.
But yeah I remember when AIO's were a joke and now literally everyone has one.
>>54446164
Just wait till we have AIO NVMe SSDs
Rigid tubing is junk, especially combined with idiots that have no idea what they're doing.
I've been watercooling for quite a while now, forgot how many loops it's been but probably close to 10. Never had a leak even with some janky looking stuff and even forgetting to tighten up a compression fitting.
>>54446209
Not even trying.
HEY GUYS ME WATERCOOLLING MAH 1337 GAYMIN RIG GIVES ME 5FPS MORE IN THE GRAND THEFT AUTO 5. HAHAHAHAHAHA CONSOLES ARE FOR FUCKING RETARDS. WTF YOU DON'T LIKE PC GAMING AND STEAM?

>>54446159
At least with high end graphics cards water cooling makes more sense since they consume more power, are frequently placed next to other GPUs, and you're more limited by how large of a heatsink you can put on it.
This dumb fuck has a custom loop for only his CPU and owns a 960. He could have easily gotten a 980/fury and a good air cooler instead.
I can understand using a custom liquid cooler if you want to cool your GPU as well or just for looks, but why would you do custom over closed loop or air cooled for a setup like that?

>>54445075
I don't use watercooling but that usually isn't a problem because the water used is not conductive
>>54446122
and that's totally fine, because your justification fits the means (setting up and maintaining is more difficult than a fan with a heatsink, and you invest the money into better parts) no one can argue that) but it's the people who see this thread and think "oh man I'm so glad I didn't try that" just translates to "oh man I'm jumping on the idiot bandwagon because I can't think for myself"
>>54444871
Why would you? It's also as loud unless you cool the liquid tank in another room.
>>54445934
>>54446410
until it gets exposure to hardware components..
>>54445075
Should have made you computer wear a diaper so it doesn't make a mess if it has an accident.
>watercooling is quieter
isn't watercooling just moving the heat somewhere else to a radiator that gets air cooled?
>>54446635
yes but it's moving the heat away faster than air can, and radiators have little fins like a heatsink that dissapate the heat in the water that is being cooled by a fan.
air cooling still is a requirement, but my temps on my components went from 45C idle to 19C with little to no noise.
>>54445984

"I don't like it because I can't afford it or understand why someone likes something I don't!"
>>54446635
It moves heat from the component to the radiating surface. The larger the radiating surface generally the quieter the system will be.
Think of it like a 212 versus an NH-D14. Watercooling allows you to have an even larger surface area than a D14 without snapping your motherboard, and it also allows you to transfer the GPU's heat to the same radiator where as using air cooling for graphics cards severely limits how large you can go.
>>54446449
Yeah, if you fuck it up it's your own fault for being a retard, just like people who think building a PC is hard.

>>54446973
>quieter
Only under load since with proper fan management air can for cheap be absolutely noiseless in idle and during normal work.
>>54447495
Watercooling can also be pretty much silent under low load. Watercooling can always be quieter and cooler than air cooling.
Also most people are concerned about load noise any way as that's where air cooling usually becomes rather noisy.
>>54447563
>Watercooling can always be quieter and cooler than air cooling.
Yeah sure, when they'll invent noiseless pumps.
>>54447563
Watercooling requires the pump to be running and making noise, while air cooling can be fully passive.
>>54445075
I can see it now on craigslist:
gently used evga graphics card case and mobo, Asking $500 obo.
>>54447643
>>54447672
Pump noise will always exist, but it can certainly be inaudible in proper use. You're not sitting with your head in the case all day, the pump can be insulated from the case, the case is closed up, and you're sitting like 2ft+ away from the computer with plenty of other ambient noises around you.
If you really think pump noise is an issue then you've most likely only had experience with shitty AIOs.
>>54447754
>ambient noise
>he hasn't decked out his computer room into an anechoic chamber
>areyoueventrying.jpg
Eh, I'm not against custom loops in principle, but it only really makes sense at upper high end and costs and arm and a leg to do properly. CLCs should die in a fire tho.
>>54447754
What other ambient noise?
>SSD has all my programs
>GPU, CPU, and PSU all have passive modes
>Case fans shut off when idle
Also lots of cases have windows on them which wouldn't muffle pump noise nearly as much.
>>54445075
I don't know why, but I had a feeling that this was from R*ddit before even seeing this post.
It probably has something to do with component choice.
>>54447837
Do you live on your own in the middle of nowhere in a heavily insulated room with no windows? There are plenty of sources of noise other than a computer, all far louder than a pump inside a case.
>lots of cases have windows on them which wouldn't muffle pump noise nearly as much
Once again you're exaggerating how loud pumps are.
>>54447922
>Do you live on your own in the middle of nowhere in a heavily insulated room with no windows?
Actually kind of yes. At night, when all the fucking birds stop making noise, I can hear my fans spinning sub 400RPM.

I see how you could arrive at that conclusion, but no, I don't sleep in the same room.
