A Beginner's Guide to Water Cooling Your Computer

I used to think a truly high performance computer meant lots of fans and lots of noise. Then I discovered water cooling. If you really want to overclock your PC and push it to the brink of its power, water cooling is the best way to make that happen, while keeping the entire thing whisper quiet.

I am too poor for this, the only thing i can afford is the water

I'm too lazy, I'll stick to fans for now.

edit: I have a water-cooled CPU now :P

Watercooling, for when you computer gets so hot from running everything on the highest settings, you need to cool it down like a nuclear reactor.

I watercool my gaming comp by taking it in the shower with me every morning, works like a charm.

After watching this video I've realised that I'll never have water cooling.

Thanks for this video. I've been doing water cooling over ten years and stopped for a while. This actually gave me many tips that I didn't know. Such as cleaning the tubes and radiator with hot distilled water. I started this venture with cheap poor materials, diy methods and a bad understanding of material longevity. My first build lead to some serious disasters, which actually didn't kill any hardware. Some more Noob tips are: Never damage a barb's tip (it will leak), you should use a plastic hose clamp for barbs to be safe, do not use glues to bind high pressure areas, make sure to use 0-rings or teflon tape for the fittings, the fan should pull air out of the radiator (not push in like in the video ;)), finally consider using a T-line instead of a reservoir because it is simpler.

[evolvedbeef]

I hire a guy that constantly eats frozen Mexican food and farts on my CPU to cool it down.

Says...."Your computer will be whisper quiet" after installing an electric pump and 2 more huge fans on top....

I love how modding PCs are becoming rather artistic. Fantastic tutorial by the way.

This is one of those high risk high reward things.
