My System

Re: liquid cooling questions

I have had both a water cooling system and air system on my same computer, and the water cooled system is about 12 deg cooler for the same size room, it is due to the liquid absorbing alot of the initial energy. I also suggest IF you do get water cooling, do not use water, but using a coolant, such as fluid XP or Fluid XP ultra... anyways, to help with cooling matters also, make sure you have good ventilation, that will help reduce heat build up... also, if you do go water cooling, keep your radiator OUTSIDE your case, it will help with heat dissipation greatly...
