Copper SHOULD be in abundance but governments put the kibosh on mining to the point where it's in scarce supply for no valid reason.
Even Trump instructed the EPA to disallow copper mining in Alaska because he's a communist homosexual just like Biden.
I bought one of these and there were no arrows on the fan to tell me which direction they blew in so I just set it up how it looks like it was set up in the assembly video. My CPU temp seems to be stable so I guess it's fine?
I bought a set of fans like that, so I double checked the airflow with some canned smoke for checking smoke detectors. It ended up being a great way to map the airflow in my PC.
Usually the side with the label that has the voltage and the country it was made in is the side that the air will blow towards.
>there were no arrows on the fan to tell me which direction they blew
why the frick do you need arrows lol fans have had the same orientation for eons
Some brands like noctua and deepcool etch arrows into a side of the fan to make them moronproof. It's not completely unreasonable to not know the correct orientation if you're new to building.

Lmao bullshit. Every pump Ive ever used always has some sort of pump noise. Purchased a few of the same model from amazon and only kept the one that was quietest. Variation on pump noise was insane. Even using a 4090 aio model, I had two to test and one was noticeably louder than the other. Fricking hate pump noise. You can hear during idle and only gets drowned out when the fans spin up. At least with fans you only hear them during high loads. I'd love to drop pumps and aios, but its still the best cooling solution for 300W+ gpus and allows me to mount the radiator outside so I don't get a hotbox.
that only happens if you orientated it incorrectly. otherwise it's silent.
AIO does not allow refilling of a reservoir and there is a steady small amount of diffusion of liquid out of the system. After some years of operation simply moving the machine can move an air pocket into the pump and create noise.
Air coolers actually produce less noise due to the fans being airgapped from the external vents and extra shock absobption from the mobo chasis standoffs.
Only tangible benefit of aio's is height clearance for SFF cases.

Is it even any quieter than regular cooling with fans?
I seriously can't imagine strapping a water tank to my PC parts, at least if my PC overheats it will just shut off and at worst I'll lose the processor or GPU in an absolutely extreme worst case scenario with a fan but with water I'm losing the whole thing no doubt.
Whats the main appeal? Everytime I look into it I just can't justify the huge risk.
this is why i went all in on custom water cooling, to avoid going with aio coolers
and to be perfectly honest, i kinda want to go back to air cooling to avoid maintaining a custom water cooling setup, but i already spent the money, might as well roll with it
definitely getting a fat air cooler next build, water cooling is expensive for no reason other than it looks cool in certain builds, and even that is subjective
marginally, depending on your build
you still need fans to cool the radiators and those can get loud if you're running powerful equipment, also your pump will be making some noise as well depending on the size of it
>Is it even any quieter than regular cooling with fans?
Yes, same temps at lower volume, and better temps at equal volume. But for many the price is just not worth it, considering how good even cheap tower coolers can be these days.
Ideally, the thermal mass of the coolant and surface area of radiator(s) will mean the fans can run at a lower speeds and still have a better cooling effect than standard fan and heatsink setup. It is more intensive in terms of research to see how to do it properly and is far easier to frick up. Liquid cooling depending on use case is the best solution, but for the average user it is more money and trouble than it is worth. For workstation, it can be viable, but for a gaming rig it excessive.

NH-D15 taught me the woes of installing the cooler before securing the mobo into the case. Had such a headache getting my 12v powers connected with that chonker in the way.
I think people going with watercooling have never tried a decent cooler and believe it's not much different from what they have.
Or have never used decent fans. "Water cooling is quieter!", yeah well they're still fan driven along with all of the case fans you already have,
been using noctua fans with my 1070 for almost 5 years, had nothing fail on me, and I can play RDR2 1440p on max settings in silky smooth cinematic 30fps and barely hit 70 degrees in st denis

Who cares?
Everyone with a a functional frontal lobe understands that liquid cooling is a meme.
Why would taking heat and transferring it to a plate of metal, then water, then moving that water, and then heating more metal, and then transferring that to air be any better than just transferring heat to metal and then air?
>Why would taking heat and transferring it to a plate of metal, then water, then moving that water, and then heating more metal, and then transferring that to air be any better than just transferring heat to metal and then air?
The laws of thermodynamics. You're transferring heat(energy) to coolant which has greater capacity for thermal mass than air and distributing it to a the larger surface area, that being a radiator. It's how any car that is actually worth a shit has a liquid cooled engine and not an air cooled one.
I don't disagree for the average gaming rig, liquid cooling is fricking pointless. However, I would argue for professional workstation is a viable option.
In a car you cant have the entire motor exposed to outside moving air otherwise the motor would be hanging out the bumper. They use a cooling loop to transfer that heat to a radiator so that the naturally passing air cools the engine as it drives and only the radiator is hanging near the bumper. Its not an accurate analogy.
With a PC you are always pumping air in and out with fans so the exact position of the heat exchanger doesnt matter at all. Yes the entire size of a liquid loop might in turn mean you have more thermal mass to soak that heat up initially, but at some point you will have to get that heat out. The specific heat of water is very high so it can soak lots of heat energy, but that energy is still in the computer case. Ultimately it has to be removed from the computer case or it doesnt matter, and you have to use air to do that.
The rate at which thermal energy can be transferred from a radiator to air is always the bottle neck and each system is limited by that transfer.
I made a flawed analogy in hindsight, so let's discard it.
>The rate at which thermal energy can be transferred from a radiator to air is always the bottle neck and each system is limited by that transfer.
Everything else I agree with. Case airflow at the end of the day, regardless of option, is king. However, on heat dissipation is where I disagree. With the logic of a radiator acting as a bottleneck, the CPU's heatsink is also an inherent bottleneck, it's just one with a lower upper limit due to have greater constraints due to potential case ergonomic issues and having a massive frick off heatsink sagging is not exactly comforting. With that said, a radiator has a capacity for a greater surface area, and since surface area is the determining factor for heat transfer, they have a greater potential. Though as before, if you can't get the heat out of the case, neither option is worth a damn
However, the real argument is if building a liquid cooling loop is worth the hassle or not. Outside of niche or specific applications, frick no,
They are passive devices that require an internal mechanism of movement. That mechanism is a phase transition: liquid evaporates by heat, the vapor flows and condenses in the (second) heat exchanger.
Of course there is. My point isnt that a liquid serves no purpose. My point is that transferring heat in 4 steps (cpu to metal to water to metal to air) is significantly more complicated than just transferring that heat to metal and then air in a traditional tower cooler.
The end determining factor is how much surface area you have to blow air over to transfer heat, which most single fan radiator setups dont have and even 2 fan radiators hardly have in comparison to large tower coolers. A big ass tower cooler can absolutely cool better than any 2 fan radiator. Because both are just trying to get the heat from the cpu into the ambient air. Whichever has the most surface area to do so is going to be more effective and water is not some magic molecule that breaks thermodynamics to cool your epic gamer rig.

Read it yourself.
Which part are they talking about? The only part that would need to be copper is a very small plate that goes on the cpu. The actual amount is pretty miniscule
You're a moron if you use water-cooling. It's literally never ever never made sense. Get a proper sized case and a good dual tower air cooler. It's just that simple.
One big reason for it is that you can have a bigger radiator than fits directly on the cpu. I once had a passive aftermarket gpu cooler, a frickhueg radiator, to which I strapped a single quiet 120mm fan and enjoyed a gloriously cool gpu (30c idle, 50c load instead of 50-80)
I was about to get this one in 420mm, but I found a Thermaltake 420mm AIO on sale, plus free shipping to my 3rd world shithole, I think I ended up paying less than $150usd total with import tax, really good for the money I gotta say, my 5900x wont go over 67C full load at 4.8Ghz in summer.
I mean even when its working the pump is a lot louder and more annoying than fans at low speed, then when it gets to high speed it needs the fans on anyway....
also you get the great surprise 2 years down the lime where your pc is running shitty because the pump failed silently so now its cooking itself
At one point I would have said "Yeah ok if you want a 4x 8x GPU build go water but now an open case mining style seems to be a better option and more reliable
Long as whatever socket you use next still fits it, although they've been decent about providing adapters for the models that can cover the surface area needed.
I don't see that being a problem. AMD haven shown that they can keep stacking performance improvement in the same package. I probably wouldn't use it with some of those larger Intel CPUs though.
And Noctua will send me new mounts free of charge.
I originally bought it for my 2500k which I had OCed to 4.6Ghz, and I now have a 5800X which runs great with it.
>Buying a 10 years old technology
Enjoy your dead CPU.
Yeah I heard those high core count CPUs have really high heat density because the dies are so small which air cooling struggles with.
I don't think I'll need to worry about it for a while though, my 2500k lasted for ages and I think my 5800x will go for just as long.
yeah man liquid cooling is a meme which is why microsoft uses billions of gallons of water to cool their servers. someone call bill and tell him to get some frickin fans already
>Waterblocks are $400+ for 100 grams of acrylic and aluminium and a rubber gasket
I assume because "person who replaces their stock waterblock" is such a small segment of people you have to pay more for small order
Where are all the chinese factories putting together copies for like $30 a piece
It's much worse than that because generally these things only work for a single model of graphics card. So it's people who want to put a waterblock on their GPU who specifically bought that one card.
>it's 2024 and we still don't have companies that will Mill/Print/Mould/Extrude/Cut/Fabricate anything and ship it to you
We do, you just wouldn't like the prices.
Great point.
I was thinking of a V1.0 3d printer with metal and plastic that can make generic designs of 80% the little shit you need day to day
Like 3d printer can make plastic utensils you cAn throw out every day
who cares? water will achieve critical mass long before material matters. as long as it's not damaged by water you can use steel and see no adverse effects
>Who buys AIOs and thinks quality? Aren't most closed loops full of mineral oil or some dumb shit?
Frick knows, but t's something that solidifies and go hard after 4-5 years, it literally clogs the arteries of the cooler.
Fricking nightmare, only a mistake you make once.
Now I just run frick off huge noctuas, easy, simple, reliable.
Oh how careless of those companies tee hee

Shocker!

Communism is when you don't mine copper. The less copper you mine, the more communist you become.

The people don't have a copper storage at the back of their wardrobe so gathering copper is something only capitalists and thieves do.

I would hope so, there's probably better coolant solutions out there

>there were no arrows on the fan to tell me which direction they blew
why the frick do you need arrows lol fans have had the same orientation for eons
Nothing worse than an armchair fan expert.
Some tower coolers have fans that spin counter clockwise but blow air in the same direction, it's a real headache.
the sort of moron who probably thinks the fact PSU cables are different on every PSU is fine because "It's always been that way"
I bought a set of fans like that, so I double checked the airflow with some canned smoke for checking smoke detectors. It ended up being a great way to map the airflow in my PC.
Usually the side with the label that has the voltage and the country it was made in is the side that the air will blow towards.

It's the same fan noise. Furthermore the AOI is louder because of potential pump noise/whine.
>pump noise
that only happens if you orientated it incorrectly. otherwise it's silent.
>pump noise doesn't exist unless its your fault
Lmao bullshit. Every pump Ive ever used always has some sort of pump noise. Purchased a few of the same model from amazon and only kept the one that was quietest. Variation on pump noise was insane.

There are a number of AIOs that have refill ports.
Air coolers actually produce less noise due to the fans being airgapped from the external vents and extra shock absobption from the mobo chasis standoffs.
Only tangible benefit of aio's is height clearance for SFF cases.
For $30 I can get this used and it's also quiet.
Why can't anyone come up with a fan clip design that's not a pain in the ass to work with?
>he looks at his computer fans

Sometimes I look at my fans.

my PS5 is fine
>Poorgays cope: The thread
everytime
>PCisraelites pay extra for "premium" parts
>get scammed anyways
lmaooooooo
no wonder all PCs are stuttering atrocities these days
>buy PS5
>overheats
You aren't very bright are you?
lolololol
less copper lmao.
>not as advertised
>less
is left better?
>bigger more massive heatsink
what do you think?
I don't know I'm not a heat expert.
>Arctic Liquid Freezer III came out recently
>BTFO most other AIOs
Stick with Arctic baby.
>0% copper
igor is a pathological liar, his tests and sources rarely exist
yeah man liquid cooling is a meme which is why microsoft uses billions of gallons of water to cool their servers. someone call bill and tell him to get some frickin fans already
>Waterblocks are $400+ for 100 grams of acrylic and aluminium and a rubber gasket
I assume because "person who replaces their stock waterblock" is such a small segment of people you have to pay more for small order
Where are all the chinese factories putting together copies for like $30 a piece
It's much worse than that because generally these things only work for a single model of graphics card. So it's people who want to put a waterblock on their GPU who specifically bought that one card.
>it's 2024 and we still don't have companies that will Mill/Print/Mould/Extrude/Cut/Fabricate anything and ship it to you
>it's 2024 and we still don't have companies that will Mill/Print/Mould/Extrude/Cut/Fabricate anything and ship it to you
We do, you just wouldn't like the prices.
I know the truth of your lies
Ganker has shown me that it would only cost $10 for some sheet metal and 3 cents in laser cutting to say make a PC case
Because people would 100% use those services to make fully automatic weapons IRL.
I don't see the issue
Great point.
I was thinking of a V1.0 3d printer with metal and plastic that can make generic designs of 80% the little shit you need day to day
Like 3d printer can make plastic utensils you cAn throw out every day
who cares? water will achieve critical mass long before material matters. as long as it's not damaged by water you can use steel and see no adverse effects
>chinks are dodgy
Wow, thanks for that revelation.
Who buys AIOs and thinks quality? Aren't most closed loops full of mineral oil or some dumb shit?
>Who buys AIOs and thinks quality? Aren't most closed loops full of mineral oil or some dumb shit?
Frick knows, but t's something that solidifies and go hard after 4-5 years, it literally clogs the arteries of the cooler.
Fricking nightmare, only a mistake you make once.
Now I just run frick off huge noctuas, easy, simple, reliable.
>people still use water coolers in 2024
I can't believe this grift is still around
i just keep my graphics card in the fridge to stay cool
This has been know forever, chinks only use a little bit of copper for the heatsink and then the rest being aluminum
>water cooling
noctua d15 chads rise up
meme cooler
Mogged by Peerless Assassin
instead of a water cooler could you use a heat exchanger filled with cyclopentane like what's inside your refrigerator?
