Water Cooling

[P4rD0nM3]

Anyone here think that it is a need and not just a want? I have two fans right now that came with the computer. Is anyone's computer water-cooled?

water cooling is good for over clocking if u do get it and install it yourself as it is easy to fuck up and you could ruin your pc get a shop to do it!

 

[sarev]

I'd don't know of anyone that has or needs water cooling. I suppose if you do a ton of multitasking, but really I cant think of anything that would overheat your pc that fans couldnt cover.

 

[Vasuki?]

Water cooling is good if you are majorly over clocking it keeps your pc alot cooler than fans

Water Cooling is a great cooling mechanism, but it can cause major flaws. If you're water cooling breaks, it has a good chance of destroying the inside of the computer because water conducts electricity.

Either way I think Water Cooling is neither great nor a necessity. Use fans, they are old school.

skip you can get a warranty or insure it or something so if it does break you can get a new comp

Water cooling wtf hell no, im steering clear of that wayyyy to much risk.

EDit: Even with insurance and warrenties etc, going 1 day without my computer and i get withdrawel systoms. lol =)

Vasuki, there's insurance for computers? Or just warranties and stuff?

P4rD0nM3 i dont really know my friend said that her comp broke and it is insured and that she gets another one for free

 

[P4rD0nM3]

I guess if it was under the warranty cuz I also exchanged my small form factor for a big one since it was acting up on me and I bought it only a couple of days.

 

[sKip]

Vasuki, that is a warranty. You don't get insurance on your computer. The warranty provides full replacement if the computer fails by an accidental cause. I think that water cooling is neither a necessity nor a good thing.

I'm buying a water cooling kit next month, I'll see if my cousin can help set it up with me hehe.

 

[Vasuki?]

you should get a store to install it so it is covered under warranty if it does leak you will be able to get a new pc

 

[CreateAMuck]

Good thinking, Never really thought about that

Depending where you live (the ambient air temp), a high end air cooling system can work the same as water cooling. It is cheaper, and it does not have any hastles.

Water cooling; worry if it is going to leak all the time, have to replace the water/coolent periodically.

Phase cooling is where it's at if you are an OCer.

Lol or benchmark liquid nitro.

 

[Vasuki?]

You dont NEED to change the water/coolent saw pics of one that didnt get changed after a year it was greed instead of blue lol

 

[TripseV]

Wrong. You DO need to change the water/coolent periodically.

 

[Vasuki?]

Well you dont really... it doesnt stop working if u dont.. it just degrades and gets hot
