My aspirations tell me to get a submerged cooling system. My aesthetic preferences tell me to get a custom water cooling loop. My skill level (maintenance wise) tells me to get an AIO. My wallet tells me to get an air cooler. :3
Smh you rich people always do extra, when my cpu and gpu get a lil toasty sometimes i’ll just blow on it yk cool it down a lil and sometimes even spit on it then blow it to make it even cooler
1. require INTENSIVE maintenance. 2. is the easiest to fail or leak 3. the most expensive to repair 4. the most expensive if it fails cause it CAN damage ur whole pc depending on when you realize 5. there is no hardware besides a threadripper that could benefit from that. and no gamer needs that.
There is a big difference for what i prefer and what my current financial status prefers. Ive noticed that keep on dreaming doesn’t change that situation.
Bruh when he literally pulled up the submerged one i was like “jesus whats gonna be next? Having you PC shot up into space for those sweet -270 Degree Celsius? lol
My custom loop is cheaper than most AIOs... I just picked up some on sale stuff from Byski for less than 150usd and used a resin printer to make the pipes with bends already in them
Custom water cooling needs even more research. You can not make mistakes testing. Looks the coolest. Aios, simple, clean, and boring. Some cost a little more because of a little screen on the pump, which you should be able to customize.
Any sort of liquid is really only needed by those who plan to OC. If you’re going to undervolt or run it stock, am efficient air cooler is going to be the best choice.
Honestly Modular and Custom Water looping can be dangerous if You don't have the fittings correctly tightened and can cause damage to the internal components.
@XxXHardcoreshredderxXXxxxxxxxx 100% diy, even the tank was custom made for my computer And minimal maintenance for me, all the maintenance I've done has been due to faults when i first made it
I've done 2 loops. First one was a soft tube with glycol liquid. It came together well and lasted for a while. Around 6 months later I decided to upgrade to a rigid tube system that requires near full overall and build. And im glad I did, because the first block had corroded on the fins in less than a year, like bad lol, plus the tubing was becoming cloudy as well. Which was weird because the entire build came in a kit, so seems like ot should've worked well. Anyways for mys second loop, I researched the shit out of everything, got higher quality parts , and was simply diligent during setup. Had no issues with this setup for like 4 years or something. No cloudiness, corrosion or anything. Later down the line randomly my pump did decide to fail and began leaking liquid. Thankfully the way I had it mounted was lower In the case so depsite the pc being fully powered, no components got damaged. Didn't have mo ey at the time so I simply swapped the whole thing out for my noctua air cooler. In conclusion, research compatibility , don't mix metals etc, get high quality parts and liquid, be mindful of the tube routing and setup, and honestly its a fun project to take on
@@wildrouseacer If you haven't bought it yet i'd recommend either the thermalright peerless assassin or phantom spirit instead. They work as good as that Noctua one but cost about 1/3 what it costs.
@spentcasing3990 i already ordered it from pc garage i m from romania..it was quite expensive 530 lei rons for me here in my country this means 106 euros but better to have something ultimate which will be with me for life rather than an liquid shiet which will be around for only 2 3 years at best
@spentcasing3990 liquid cooling is a ultimate shiet with short life span even though is aio or waterloop and needs maintenance etc..better to get back to air and stay calm for life :)
Air cooling. When I started getting damn near similar temps with AIOs and beefy air coolers I said screw liquid cooling. Unless you live in a desert I guess.
Yeah, and occasionally checking the O rings. If you know the size needed for your o rings you can easily replace o rings every time you drain/clean/ fill your system. Once a year should be a enough, but a pre check before every major gaming session is a good way to evaluate if you need to do it earlier. For replacement parts and maintenance I recommend keeping a surplus of o rings. They are cheap like 9 bucks for 50 o rings. An o ring extraction tool. DI water, a bucket for drain, and replacement coolant. Some nylon brushes/pipe cleaners to remove any fouling from algae or other contaminants. And that's that. It's a good thing to do yearly and can be done over the course of 4 hours of work. Make sure to isolate and cap off your power cables and parts when cleaning. And if any liquid spills, let the PC dry off completely. DI water should not cause any problems until your PC starts to run. AIO is less intense, but water cooling is more of an art form than necessity in most builds.
Don't do it theres two main reasons I say not to 1 no matter how u build it to the draining process is a pain if u have to take GPU water block to clean its a nightmare and all together it's just not fun now putt8ng it back together is also annoying if u did do a full clean and to top it off occasionally (kina rare) you can get air trapped somewhere and if u not able to like bleed it out or w.e u will have to take it apart it's just not fun
I've always wanted to fishtank my pc. It would cost big to do what I really wanted and I can no longer afford such things I built my system from junk with a slow progression of refurbished parts.
Finally there is the "Pool" solution. Just grab your PC and throw the entire machine in the pool. Yeah, It's gunna destroy your computer, but you may have gained 4 fps on Minecraft!! Cheers!
I want to do a mineral water pc in a giant tank. I currently have a ryzen 9 7950x3d and gamers oc edition 4090 in a tower 20p but may switch to the 300 for more cooling. It's going to be all air for the 200 or 300 when i rma my gigabyte b650i aorus ultra motherboard for a usb on the io not working and occasionally acting funny
I just have the case of my pc open and face it towards the AC vent. When the game I’m playing gets intense, I turn down the thermostat on the AC. No problems so far.
No type of water cooling is better. An AIO can easily be better than a custom or modular loop. It's literally completely dependent on the coolant used (typically water or similar), the speed that the pump operates, and the radiator. The design of the loop itself, whether aio, modular, or complete custom, has nothing to do with performance, just the customizability. Of course, if you're rich, you could probably buy some crazy external radiator and use a giant pump to keep your 13900ks running at 60, and no AIO or modular system could compete, but that's an extreme case.
