Air cooling or Water cooling?
>>
good morning sar, pls be of engagement-baiting other place! many thanks!
>>
water cooing if you like to live on the edge in constant fear of ruining your pc
>>
>>750033449
you joke but it’s currently 2:57 pm in new delhi
>>
>>750033415
there is no such thing as water cooling

New delis don't know how to make a good Reuben.
>>
Unless you are doing serious overclocking, no reason to not use air.
>>
water cooling is retarded
>>
>>750033415
I have 5 extra fans in my PC and hope that's good enough, I have a 5070 and that thing doesn't goes fire like a 5090.
I'm not touching over/undervolting stuff since I'm a tech illiterate.
>>
What about gas cooling? Someone shouldninvent that.
>>
>>750033762
noctua is trying to do that
>>
>>750033762
>air isnt a gas
are you american?
>>
Piezoelectric or mineral oil cooling, who cares
>>
>>750033762
That would require a compressor, so basically an ac strapped to your pc?
>>
>>750033415
>>>/g/pcbg
>>
>>750033415
removing the cover when it gets too hot and positioning the fan so it hits both me and the PC
>>
>>750033415
If you overclock then water cooling, if all else, air is perfectly fine.
>>
>>750033415
mineral bath or bust
>>
>>750034848
seems like a bitch to keep clean or to do any maintenance
>>
>>750034915
you put it in a sealed container and why would it need maintenance? you don't even have to worry about thermal wiggle let alone dust
>>
>>750033467
A heavy air cooler will bend your motherboard over time
>>
I have an AIO 5090 did I fuck up? Water cooling seems nice, my temps never go above 60C
>>
>>750035054
>my temps
lol
you're not being told what the hotspot temp is
>>
water cooling is air cooling, retard, the fans do most of the work
the water just transports the heat to the heatsink which can now be bigger since it's not blocking anything, hence why it performs better
>>
>>750034982
idk, stuff breaks, gets loose, you upgrade or buy new parts
>>
>>750035084
>muh hotspot temps
Meme-word making the rounds as usual.
>>
air cooling and i underclock my components so they last longer
>>
whenever i see people shitting on water-cooling it always comes across as cope from poorfags
>>
>>750033415
neither, solid state cookling
>>
Passive cooling and playing on console (far enough away I don't hear the fan)
>>
>>750035156
>cope from a retard that doesn't understand survivor bias
>>
>>750033415
ngl this kind of setup of cpu cooling from arctic was pretty cool when i firsthand got it.
>>
>>750033415
'Water cooling' is air cooling.
>>
>>750035054
If you have a 5090 you should sell it and get yourself a 9070 xt, and pocket the free $5k
>>
>>750035416
>AMD
I like being able to use my GPU though
>>
air cooling for people who play games and water cooling for people who take pictures of their pc to post on reddit
>>
>>750035416
9070XT will also tell you the hotspot temps.
>>
>>750035210

Kill yourself pedantic retard.
>>
>>750035481
It's not wrong though.
'water cooling' is just moving the heatsink somewhere else and giving that a use-by date since all AIO's will degrade.
It's not even really bigger anymore, since dual tower heatpipe coolers have the same thermal area as a 280 AIO.
>>
>>750033415
Water cooling. It's more space efficient than forcing everything into the case, especially with modern GPUs consooming so many slots just for their heatsinks.
>>750033467
>>750035480
There's tools like Leakshield and if you start with distilled water you can't really fuck anything up.
>>750035135
Water also has higher thermal capacity, so it can absorb spikes in temperature better.
>>
>>750035583
What do you think is inside a heatpipe anon...
>>
>>750035570
Don't use an AiO then, the only reason companies sell bundles is because the individual components are shit or because they can charge a significant markup.
You can get radiators that can dissipate much more heat.
>>
>>750035629
>What do you think is inside a heatpipe anon...
Heat.
Not very good for cooling is it?
>>
>>750035636
>You can get radiators that can dissipate much more heat.
At some point you should just move up to car parts if you want bigger radiators shouldn't you.
>>
Is there literal water inside that cooler? Do you need to change it ? Doesnt it boil and evaporate over time ?
>>
>>750035761
special solution most likely, allegedly it does outgas over time through the tubing but from my experience you're more likely to see the pump fail before that happens.

Why isnt there small nuclear power PC's with big water coolers yet ? PC would create energy for itself ? Very green i m o
>>
>>750033415
Why not both?
>>
why there's only water and air cooling? what about earth and fire cooling?
>>
>>750035725
That way lie weird fittings and parts meant to have air forced through them at highway speeds.
