sven Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 as long as you have no piping problems or leaks, you dont have to worry. even then, you shouldn't have that problem unless you bought a really really bad and old system and really messed up the connections.to me, you shouldn't have a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewdatrip Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 As sven stated...As long as you install a trustworthy brand such as Koolance etc and install it properly its not very dangerous. Just make sure to refill your water every so often...more often if you live in a very warm region.Additioaly make sure they the water pump is working and no lines are cloged or pinched|Drew| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 I hear that using water cooling will reduce the working life of your processor.(eg: from 5 years to 2 years)Is this true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewdatrip Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 I hear that using water cooling will reduce the working life of your processor.(eg: from 5 years to 2 years)Is this true?NopeIf anything it would extended the life. Due to it resulting in lower cpu tempsHowever, generally people that install watercooling overclock in their systems, in which case the longevity of the system could be decreased|Drew| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drewdatrip Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 interesting.. but it cost more money then regular fans...any ideas on dry ice cooling?The major issue with subZero cooling is it creates moisture and thats just a bad deal for electronicsThere are refridgerated cooling systems out there however there is alot of work required to ensure that nothing get fried and on top of that they are VERY expensive.|Drew| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biney59 Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 There was a video, I think that was posted on this site that showed someone using Liquid Nitrogen to cool their computer, and resulted in them overclocking their computer successfuly to about 5.x GHz.

Porn Loader Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 water cooling works fine, but dont run it if you change hardware alot, or are impatient.any time i make a change in the loop, i run the water cooling for at least 24 hours w/ the computer off to check for leaks.all my water gear is in my server because a. the gear rarely changes b. im to broke to buy new stuff. dangerden wants $125us for a nv68 (6800gt/u) waterblock!!! thats just nuts. im gonna stay with my current cooling till i win the lottery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
