llooks like LCLC systems are helping to make WC the dominate cooling thus far.

eduncan911 · 02-02-12, 05:32 PM

Finishing up my Watercooled + TEC Chiller in a month or so. So technically, that is an "Other" as I qualify as "Extreme Cooling" using the TEC Chiller.

I was bored tonight so I decided to up my over clock on my i5 2500k to 4.8ghz (over the 4.5 i have been using for a while). With my air cooling my 4.5 never made it over 70c. Running at 4.8 it get to 81c. I think I may switch to water soon.

Picked up an Antec Khuler 620 last night and installed it on my i7 930. Very pleased!

MGF Derp · 02-08-12, 07:32 AM

Have air coolers and water cooling setups. Air is nice and easy but water is where its at for 24/7 rig. Thinking about a slush box for cheap "extreme" cooling.

nzaneb · 02-14-12, 12:18 PM

Other for me. The only system I really sit down at when I'm not at work is my benching station. It's usually subzero whether it's chilled water or a CPU pot.

glazer1972 · 02-25-12, 07:36 AM

Air Cooling and the AC stays on 72.

bioevolve · 02-29-12, 07:50 PM

Custom water cooled system
Corsair H100
Antec Kuhler 620

robble · 02-29-12, 08:33 PM

Surprised water is so far in in the lead right now.

Custom loop here.

I use an air cooling on my main computer, Dice on my seconary (which has all-compatable parts for my main)

I've got a few chunks of copper and have been thinking about water cooling for a while though, i'd use it on my secondary if I ever made a block. (which is covered in vaseline atm, no leak worries lol)

trekky · 03-01-12, 05:34 PM

i was going to get a ND14 but i got my H100 for a steal so i Made it fit in my case

Hondacity · 03-11-12, 12:37 PM

stock cooling ftw !

fcomstoc · 03-18-12, 03:02 AM

I just finished putting in my WC system, it took me almost 2 days to get it all set up right as it was my first system; I upped my speed and voltages and it still maintains a temp 10-15c lower than with my CM 212 EVO.

JLK03F150 · 03-21-12, 05:58 PM

I'm still using a SwiftTech H2O-220 kit i bought for my s478 Prescott in '06. It has been a great investment and has been on quite a few different systems.

Davidleebjr · 03-25-12, 02:51 PM

On stock air for i5/2500k.. YEEE-Hah.. just finished ordering all my liquid parts... take me off the clock on wednesday when the UPS guy comes a knockin
