What kind of cooling do you use poll (2009)

Sunbeam Core-contact freezer Ftw!

Use to use water cooling, then switched to air, less to deal with.

I've been watercooling my main pc for ages. I chose watercooling for 2 reasons:

1) Better cooling over air
2) High end air is a bit too noisy.

Water for almost 8-years:

1. I saw a LC rig at the UT forum that got me interested.
2. My last air cooled rig had a Delta on a Thermalright HS.
3. The cooler temps don't suck, and I enjoy the dangerous challenge of water cooling as a hobby.

I desperately want WC, so the moment I finish adding the main parts I want into my case it's Dangerden for me. In the mean time Xigmatec HDT-S1283 is my only muse.

Air Because It Is The Easiest

Air Because It Is The Easiest

True enough. Don't go water if you want it cheap and easy.

Air cooling for me, although I wouldn't mind trying water cooling one day.

Water cooling (CPU) FTW (but i have a lot of air flow through my case for everything else)

Air air air. Just for the sake of better costerformance ratio. + the fact that I can't really afford a Water cooling setup.. A decent one anyway. And I'd prob be a bit chicken trying to run water through my comp.. I might as well grab the hose from outside when my comp overheats . =D.

OCZ Vendetta 2 + Thermalright T-Rad2 on my CPU/GPU respectively work perfectly fine, and are dead silent.

I would love to play around with WC though one day, tubing makes stuff look cool . =D

whoa, air cooling is 75% of the total.
i go to Lans, so water is a no no for me lol.

i also like my fans. they're not that noisy..and LEDs - muahahahah!

...sorry got carried away...:banghead:

 

[moonsault]

Voted for air cooling as well.

Don't want to take chances of my system getting mess up.

No surprise there.

i go to Lans, so water is a no no for me lol.

I've seem more than a few water cooled LAN rigs. The trick is the relative size of all components.

Pelt plus liquid

I run a modified Corsair Xtreme box with an extra radiator in the loop and it ends with a Coolit Freezone with insulated cooling lines entering a Koolance waterblock on the processer. I have found stability at under 65C across all cores with a 4 gig OC (See my CPUZ Veri) I run 24/7 at 3.9 just because it gets hot here in the summer. (House temps hit 80 indoors)

I'm rockin' water cooling in my main. I got this computer from my brother after he got a new computer. I'd say water cooling has its pros and cons. With fans my computer has in the past overheated, and so far with water cooling it hasn't even come close. Plus, I personally think it looks really nice. But there is always the risk of leakage. This actually happened to me before... not good. But I was lucky and thankfully nothing was permanently damaged.

I'm still using air cooling at this time, but I think I would try some new tech for cooling systems.

Just upgraded to Water cooling from a zalman 9700. I wanted quieter enviroment with temps around 25C-40C. And with my Antec 1200 and those crazy fans, things were loud when i was gaming to keep it cold. now that i went on water, things are all good. definatly like water cooling better.

 

[deadletter]

Water cooled my latest system I always love water and now I'm doing it ^^ and can't be replaced =D Going to have my North and south bridge water cooled soon once I have the cash.
