View Full Version : HSF vs Watercooling- survey!
I was wondering what the ratio in the forum was of people that are using a hsf or watercooling on their main comp? Please include some info on your hsf/watercooler.
I'm vote one for watercooling

Both!
I have the DD waterblock with a Global Win on top of it. It is not running right now, I took it apart to paint and other mods.
Regular system is a Danger Den Maze 2.2, Cooling Cube and Danner 700. Playing with pelts and a cooling tower. Aircooling is only used on the bench,
I use both air and water. My main system is water cooled 1.2 TBird using a Swiftech MCW462, my toy is a sub 0 chilled water 1.3 Tbird with a Maze2 block.
The server BP6 w/dual 366 @ 572 with 2 Alpha pal 6035 As of now this thing hasn't even been rebooted in over 6 months! At one time it almost made a year befor it crashed with Red Hat 6 try that with MS crap.
Portable gaming system uses a hedgehog to keep a 1.2 bird in the upper 30's under full load.
Then there is the G4 mac.....funny how this thing runs only a little over room temp with just a heatsink, no fan!

HSF, but water is in the works.
Closed loop Watercooling with a tec, but still working out the bugs. about 13c @ idle and 20c under full load. But will get it cooler.
See sig for the rest.

Air cooled. I will wait and see how the summer weather affects cooling. If it is too hot , I will go w/ H2O.
Watercooled-Overclock/Watercool Copper cooling block, Magdrive pump, old ice machine cooling coil(approx.24' copper tubing) for radiator w/ 160mm Orion fan.
Modified OCHideout copper waterblock, Magdrive pump modded to inline, 4x4 plate/fin radiator, Al block for GeforceDDR.
Temp while folding and/or playing counterstrike: 31C (cpu thermistor)
