gm time for coffee
today i will buy another drive for my computer today and potentially replace the giant 120mm cube of aluminum on the cpu with water cooling

gmgm
ive never messed with water/liquid cooling, seems interesting

>>22931780
neither have i, but it is drastically more efficient at removing heat than air and also i hate the gigantic cpu heatsink currently taking up all of the space in the case

I put too much paste on my CPU and haven't unmounted my AIO since, I ain't dealing with allat

>>22931794
you ever redo the thermal paste & pads on a modern graphics card?
it's fucked up

>>22931799
did that in I guess maybe 2018 or something, not super modern, no..

>>22931791
makes sense
if it COMPLETELY replaces the need for airflow, i guess that would help avoid noise and dust problems as well

>>22931794
>>22931799
oof

well it still requires a small radiator with fans attached, but that screws to the front of the case where the cooling fans are and it is out of the way, rather than a 120mmx120mmx150mm cube of aluminum with a fan strapped to it hanging off the center of the motherboard
also much quieter

update the surgery has begun

>>22932530
good luck

>>22932530

all is going well so far
took 2 shots of liquor to keep my hands from shaking
old heatsink is out, new bracket is installed, radiator is mounted
i just need to mount the pump, trace the pwm wires back and hope the fans spin the way i want them to

>>22932574
don't forget to lick off the old paste

>>22932575
tasty
cable management time

the operation was a success
everything is operating as it should
it is celebration time
