Water Cooling

[Dragonshadow3879]

Why would you need to water cool a non overclocked system. ive had professionals tell me not to water cool if youre not overclocking even base overclocking can be air cooled. i have a small overclock on my CPU and GPU and my air cooling does just fine.

It's quieter? Looks cool?

and can damage your system beyond repair, and with aio 1 little thig goes wrong you have to replace the whole thing

Anything can damage your system. But the risk for liquid cooling is low enough to justify it uses, otherwise, nobody would be using them.

low huh, just saw some that lost a 5k system with low risk aio cooling, no thanks Air cooling is more then enough for most people

Just so you are aware, there are systems out there that are listed to -REQUIRE- water cooling to even fundtion, AMD ThreadRipper is one of them. AIO's are listed as a requirement on AMD's website for cooling threadripper. Some air cooler companies have managed to make air coolers that can let it run but it will run hot and throttle a lot under air, as it's not designed for it.

i dont care about the Threadripper thats a cpu that i will never beable to afford or ever have the use for, i just game so that would be to much over kill. hell i could get away with a ryzen 3 and 16 gb ram and be just fine for gameing.

Yes I understand. But there are some systems where you absoulutely have to use water cooling on them and they are designed to use it, just saying, they exist.

AIO's that leaked pretty much ended years ago. The chances of a modern AIO leaking on you in 2018 is about as low as your fan for your heatsink dying. Although that said, an "small" 120mm / 140mm AIO is no better at cooling than a "very large" high end air cooler. It's only the 2-fan or 3-fan big AIO's that make a difference.

It also depends on what you're doing. If you're trying to overclock a modern 6-core or 8-core processor from Intel or AMD you'll have to use water cooling anyway, even aftermarket air coolers don't overclock very far.

i dont ever over clock, but once in awhile maybe a safe factory OC but not often as it does not add much FPS

I'm sorry, but personal anecdotes really do nothing for me. If you have a problem with water cooling, don't use them. But in context of the game, water cooling IS part of the current technology trend in PC builds. I really don't see any reason why the devs shouldn't include them.

If you have a problem with bugs in the game, post it on bug forum, otherwise, I doubt you could find a similar voice that would support you here. The game has bugs, but none of them is game breaking, mostly minor. And seeing the game is still in early access, bugs are expected.

ok one thing i am very surprised that no one has said about and that is have you ever thought about the end user might want water cooling as they might want to over clock their pc that your repairing?

[AlexMobile1980]

wanna see a 486dx with water cooling, would be nice too :D

[Mindset]

Factory-sealed liquid cooling systems are excellent, though!
No need to worry if you installed the tubes correctly or not with them, because those beauts are airtight!

Im just saying this cause to be honest im kinda pissed about your comment, watercooling exists since sandy bridge or maybe way back behind that time. It exists cause somebody wont be cool with a cpu runnin' at 80°C (like me). The other thing is show me a comparison between AIO and Air OC system, you will never ever get the same temperature with the same core speed. OC isnt for everybody thats okay and just settin the multiplicator at the turbo setting is NOT overclocking (theoretical yes, but if you can gain more speed with adjusting the voltage +0.02...V why wouldnt you try it?). Beside of that endless bracket sentence above, Intel as example got a spreadsheet with settings for 24/7 OC tweaks.

So and for the end of my monologue, if youre running your CPU at Max Temps the whole time it wont last that long as everywhere described. Im sorry for being salty but i just wanted to say my opinion.

So because YOU don't use it and seen ONE example you think no body should use it? Despite many AIO's coming with an Extensive warrenty covering 5 years or more (Mine being 8 years).

AIO's allow for better airflow for GPU's that are not water cooled and cool the system down over all, some systems run hot, my i7 4790k ran at trubo 4.4Ghz and a slight OC to 4.55Ghz (couldnt get it stable at higher) and on my very large be quiet dark rock pro maxxing it out it ran at 90°C even up to 100°C near thermal throttle zone. Using the AIO it never goes above 66°C with custom fan curves GPU also used to run at 80°C with the air cooler above it and now it rarely hits 70°C.

Custom loops bring risks and are for enthusiasts that do things normal end users dont and they understand the risk's but.... These systems including AIO's use Distilled water as base and that doesnt conduct electricity because it doesnt have any impurities to conduct it so even if there is a leak it doesnt mean the system is toast!

FYI my system run at 65-70c all the time, and i have AMD so intels spread sheet wont work for me. and if i put all my case fans and cpu and gpu fan on turbo it runs abou 55-60c all the time. and WATER of any type is bad for electricity. the guy who just lost a 5k system used a AIO and i fried his system. and any risk of lossing your system is to great, IE you dont have $$$$ comming out of your ass to keep replaceing parts
