Hey all
Its soon will be time for me to assemble my next super home PC Game/Workstation.
Back in the day it was all about the airflow and getting the air round to cool things off. Now that we are running at much faster speeds and generating a lot more heat I was wondering about Water Cooling.
Firstly, Is it really necessary? Will running a few intense games on a 3.2> Intel Duo + High End Nvidia Card (8800) really need Water or would Air be sufficient?
Is it dangerous? I'm not to comfortable having water flowing with my expensive electronic componets. Has there been cases of leaks or punctures or moisture causing breakdowns and component damage, is it possible at all?
What kind of sound does it make?
Is it more or less expensive then Air Cooling and if its more is it worth it?
How does it work exactly, I have had a read and looked at some diagrams and I gather that there are pipes which carry water in close proximity to hardware but I'm still not entirely sure.
What components benefit from the water cooling the most?
Thanks for your help
