I'm ab out to cut a 2 ft long hole in the top of my computerFollow

I imagine 5 inches would be ample to fit your purposes.

So it will be a Microsoft SexBox 360?

My mom is a water cooling system?

Don't take away from him the only thing he has left!

You know Kao, he will push it to the limit, until it explodes!

Fixed.

Well its all done and installed. Yay! I know, no one cares but I gotta increase my post count somehow.

Just because a fan reduces the hot temperature inside your machine, does not mean the fan reduces the temperature omitted from the device.

Emitted, not omitted. Also, heat not temperature. Temperature is a measure of heat, it's not heat itself. While we're here, liquid cooling doesn't lower the amount of heat emitted from a device. I think your point was trying to be that fans aren't that effective in lowering the temperature of components to that of the ambient air or lower.


A powerful device that is overclocked generates a lot of heat, in the process of doing so, the device itself heats up to extreme degrees. Fans do not help in the elimination of the device heating up... water cooling does.

No, water cooling doesn't. Nothing does. Having components at absolute zero before turning them on wouldn't reduce the amount of heat they generate. Electrical components generate a consistent amount of heat as they function. You could explore this concept more by studying 'physics'.

Liquid cooling is more efficient at heat dissipation and sometimes at lowering the ambient temperature of components. It's more a function of convenience than anything else, though. It's just easier, not magically delicious. If it was cheap and easy to have fans blow a cold gas around, that's what people would do.


Water cooling isn't the end all be all, but it does help in heat dissipation.

I have 7 fans on my tower, my CPU and GPU are still hot themselves. The air inside my tower, however; isn't.


Yeah, again, physics and thermodynamics come into play here. The air in your machine can't stay cool while the components heat up. The components heat the air. If you remove the hot air with fans you're lowering the ambient temperature of the components. The air is the medium for heat dissipation. In liquid cooling you use another medium, so the difference in air temperature when compared to component temperature would be more dramatic.


I recommend you looking to what water cooling and fans actually do.


I'd recommend you shut the fuck up when you have no idea what you're talking about. Honestly, unless your goal is to look like an idiot who realizes technology does something, but has absolutely no idea why, you're wasting everyone's time. Next time just post "water cooling is magix!!"

QFT

Agreed!

Hawt!

Roughly fixed. Everything else was pretty solid. Electrical components can perform more or less efficiently at various temperatures - for example the resistivity can change (even go to zero) but within your computer this is unlikely to be a serious consideration. I imagine we'd run into thermal expansion problems at far lower differences in temperature.
