Watercooling...

[scottish]

Anyone got watercooling?

I'm considering getting it.

[Wootzeh]

No you only need it if you have a real gd overclocked pc.

[scottish]

Mhm but looks cool ^_^

[N!ck]

A friend has it.

Nar, My CPU is good on air for the moment, 3.6GHz load at 58c LOL.

Unless you're going to spend £300+ on a good quality kit, don't bother.

[scottish]

about 200+ would do the trick ;)

I have it but only because it was a reconditioned PC from PC world and they had one knocking about so they stuck it on for next to nothing :P I really don't know what difference it makes, I haven't overclocked the processor though so I assume I could probably do that without too much hassle.

@prof: It's just a better cooling system than a fan, completely different, but accomplishes the same task more efficiently.

I'd say it's a good idea for those who are overclocking quite a lot.

Overclocking is very simple, you just need to boot into the bios, but before that google around for instructions for your processor, then you usually change a multiplier I believe.

[Recursion]

Not as simple as just changing the multiplier.

[Stephen!]

Overclocking is not very simple Hypertext.

I know how to overclock :P i don't plan on overclocking like hardcore, but just putting the 2.4ghz q6600 to 3.6ghz or something near that :)

Get a decent air cooler and save yourself a load of money then.

Ofc but they look ugly, if i got watercooling it wouldnt be for the fact of it having lowered my temps by like 5°C it would be due to the looks.

[Stephen!]

£200 for a 5c improvement that could be done with a £40 air cooler? No competition IMO no matter what it looks like.

My Vendetta 2 doesn't look ugly.. and why should you care? its stuck inside a case non-stop.

[scottish]

cause i can see it :P

[Recursion]

tbh, Watercooling is stupid if your only overclocking your CPU, and then only to 3.6GHz

[scottish]

I'm not getting it for that reason, i'm getting it because it looks alot better than a normal heatsink/air cooling

that's if i choose to get it.

[Recursion]

Thats a rediculous reason :|

[scottish]

Perhaps but looks cool ^_^

[Stephen!]

Buy it then.. It seems you had made your mind up whether you wanted to buy it or not before you even posted.

[scottish]

I made this thread just to see if anyone else had it, not to convince me one way or another :P
