Re: [H] liquid cooling ?
The CLC/AIO water coolers do generally offer superior performance at high TDP, but in my experience, they are not terribly reliable. Across multiple models, generations, and brands, I've had a number of them fail (pump failure or gradual loss of coolant) long before their design lifetime. As such, I've really soured on them. Good Air is now Good Enough. I do still use a custom loop on my main PC (now a Ryzen 3950X) but I recognize that some degree of maintenance is required from time to time.

For these high TDP processors Liquid is the only way to go.

Re: [H] liquid cooling ?
I agree that closed loop is the best way to go if using liquid cooling.. I'm using 3 closed loop cooling systems and they work well. I don't care to use DIY setups because of possible leaks, etc. 2 of them are single fan + radiator and the 3rd is quad fan + radiator on a threadripper system. lopaka On Tue, May 19, 2020 at 9:09 AM Winterlight wrote: > > If you are thinking about cooling your CPU it is > easy because it is a closed system with a > radiator, fan and,plate to screw down to your > CPU.You install, run and pretty much forget > about.It.

Re: [H] liquid cooling ?
If you are thinking about cooling your CPU it is easy because it is a closed system with a radiator, fan and,plate to screw down to your CPU.You install, run and pretty much forget about.It. However it is considerably more expensive then air and really not needed if you don't over clock. If you are thinking about a whole case cooling system that cools down everything quietly... CPU GPU RAM Hard drive then you probably want a case with built in radiator. You will need hoses, a pump and cooling plate attachments in a kit form. It is not a closed system, requires maintenance, can leak, will evaporate and require replenishment and, is something you will be fiddling with until you find the right balance. I have not done one but it sounds like way too much trouble and cost unless you are running at the extreme edge of performance and are troubled by fan noise.
