Show your Watercooling system

Wow XeTK, really nice setup, that's so tidy! Love it!

I don't have the need for rigging up a water cooling system since my setup is a bit old (1st gen i5, GeForce GTX 460, 8GB Corsair Vengeance, Cooler Master 800W modular PSU), but still gets the job done. Though I recently had to add a liquid cooling system for the CPU as it was getting over 100 degrees celsius when playing, and 75 at idle :O !! Got an Antec 620 (also old), and now it runs at 37 idle and 42 while gaming

 

Finaly got my new case. GPU/CPU on water now :love-struck::

 

I cool my entire system with the stock CPU fan and one of these which sits directly opposite my GTX 260:



Don't even have a case fan. Nothing ever goes above 60c.

 

See, now kids, This is a Real Man.

 

I've always thought the Thermaltake Level 10 looked kinda weird but cool. (Pun intended...)

 

Mine is only an laptop on top of some plastic tubes with cold water '-'
*sorry for reviving an old thread, i didn't resisted*

Had this Corsair Enclosed Unit running for 3+ years through a few pc builds.

 

Yeah your right you need a phase change cooling set up ;P. But then ya gotta buy a temperature controller to lower condensation.

 

upgrade the last days, i test many Haswell-E boards but the MSI X99S power AC is awesome good board!

with Ripjaw4 3000 runs ...

 

I wouldn't do it either, you're not alone. Pretty sure many wouldn't, just fearing that there might be a leak then a fire could happen.

 

I had a water cooled setup back in like 99/00; cpu block leaked all over my rdram. Never again will I water cool anything. But I'm not into "overclocking" anymore so air is more than adequate for my needs ;-)

 

When im not at home, i cut the voltage. And i never had any problems with leaking water. You musst work correct with it, and need good hardware but than...

 

I'm sure its different now, but in the late 90's pc watercooling was still in its infancy stage.

 

If I had an unlimited budget, I would rather go for a Noctua NH-D15. If your not running an i7 in your rig, you don't even need a fan for that heatsink.
I don't have anything against watercooling, but I think It's more of a way to show of, because a good aircooler with good fans can achieve very similiar results.

 

my step into watercooling was cooling down two GPUs and cpu. On air possible, but not really fun with hot summer and so...
I still have fans and of corse 9x140er but they run with 600RPM and silent as... I do not OC GPUs only cpu, fsb now ok... but switching a watercooler from socket X to newest is np. and your water setup will stay many years.
