My PC Is now fully underwater

On the other hand, you can do things with them that would get you electrocuted if you tried it with a PC.

Silly, you unplug the computer before cutting it up, and putting it in the freezer.

Hey, FiLeZz, when is your next LAN party?

Are you an Ichi pretty much the Fraiser and Niles of AnandTech? So who's who?

Then who is phucheneh?

Geeze. We can't even agree with you guys without getting singled out. Now, since you probably wouldn't notice otherwise, watch me disagree with Ichinisan:

Came to say this. You've got pretty-much the same radiating surface area and CFM as you would without water cooling. The fans are closer to the outside of the case and the sound is louder. Lose.

Water cooling only makes sense if you have some MONSTER external radiator and you can use less active cooling.

Or when using a peltier cooler.

Hmm... Eddie?

I have always wanted to do water cooling but it didnt make much sense for me. my main problem is heat - I have a small room with my PC and the PC heats it up significantly, in the summer its particularly annoying. So if I got water cooling it would be dissipating the same heat in a different way. Id have to have the radiator in another room or something for it to help.

You can always seal the PC's case up pretty well and simply duct the exhaust to somewhere else. Probably don't want to cut a hole in an exterior wall...but if you have a spare bedroom or storage space adjacent, you can just dump it in there.

Or into a crawlspace or attic.

Also, I will accept the role of 'Eddie.' I do tend to tear things up, shit on stuff, and stare at people. And I am somewhat more intelligent than most canines.

Oh, and the 'coffee joke' reply + that Homer graphic made me laugh. A lot.

That looks to me like 3x 120mm fan slots and a single 120mm slot that doesn't have a fan. You have two loops running through the same radiator, what make and model of radiator is that?

Looking at the board etc that looks like an X79 motherboard, so I am going to assume its a 125W TDP default CPU. 7970's are 210 W TDP.

So this loop has to cool 210 * 3 + 125 = 755W

The passive slot doesn't dissipate very much at all, 10's of watts at most so we can ignore that. So its as if you had a single 120.3 radiator. Assuming the best radiator to dissipate to 10C delta (average performance for a loop, the maximum where water is really worth having above air) needs your fans to run at 2000rpm.

If you overclock the CPU you can gain another 100W needing about 2200 rpm.

This is quite a loud system unless you have some radiators you haven't shown us!
