Ғылым және технология

AIO water coolers seem to be all the rage, but we're here to tell you that big air coolers are where it's at. Probably.

    AIO watercoolers are great for small form factor builds: they are space saving and they are less prone to heat buildup which occurs in cases with small volume. That's definitely a worthy factor omitted in the testing that's done in the video showing a big tower with a huge case volume.

    The point you said about heat pipes fundamentally being liquid is spot on. You can absorb much much more heat through phase change than you can through direct convection only. Those little heat pipes can conduct hundreds of watts of heat with only a few degrees drop across their length. And there's probably as much fin surface area as the radiators.

    I think in the past liquid cooling in its infancy was better only because air cooling wasn't using heatpipes or not using heatpipes effectively. But now the use of heatpipes for cpu cooling has matured. Liquid cooling has the advantage of high heat capacity, but heat pipes has the advantage of latent heat of vaporization (of water inside the heatpipes) and conducts heat incredibly fast.

    I used to liquid cool... AIOs, then moved on to custom loops with soft tubing, then on to doing builds with rigid PETG tubing, etc... Now I just stick with a Noctua NH-D15. Got sick of permeation on AIOs rendering them useless after a while, doing maintenance on custom loops (disassembling a PETG run is a pain in the ass), etc. A good air cooler with a graphite thermal pad gets you 90% of the way there and you don't have to do a damn thing to maintain it. No repasting, no nothing. Blast it with some compressed air once in a while if you're feeling generous. That's it.

The temps were pretty consistent weather on water or air. the only thing was when on water it took longer to warm up, but conversely it also took longer to cool down. But water was more of a pain in the ass to maintain, so switched back to air.

    3celsius = It's not even close. Could be anything from TIM to airpockets, Like how do you suppose that they eliminated all the variables in their setup when the radiator is mounted differently with relation to airflow, along with what sounds like a jank setup with HVAC and shit. I think the biggest and most beneficial aspect of the AIO, is not the cooling performance, it is infact the clearance hassle that you fucking get from big fucking fans and heatsinks, which there is no way to fucking know for sure if you have clearance until you get something shipped to you, only to find out, FUCK It doesnt fit. Or you're literally risking damaging your board to push ram at an angle, or forcing stuff in, having to completely dismount your whole CPU, just to change ram. Honestly, Cry more about 3Celsisus, when you're building a pc and dont wanna fuck around with "Does it fit", AIO wins everytime. Unless your board is awkward as fuck, There's no way you can't find a way to mount an AIO (where the radiator fits), in a case with any board. Who cares about temps when you're trying to figure out which spacehog is gonna fit in your particular case, with your particular board, with your particular ram. Unless you wanna go the safest route and copy some kid's setup by the piece, which means you gotta stalk some forums for someone who isn't bullshitting you.

It works, its simple and it does its job. I am glad i have this watercooling system, its effective and just gets its job done. Also consider this: the H100 is one degree above the air cooler... its just one degree... so dont always listem to what they say. Their data might not be corrupted by any opinion, but the point of the video was to prove water cooling sucks. If you feel bad look up videos about Pros and you find a different opinion.

    Special AiOs are the exception. To cool down a 7950X, you actually have to have a solid, big heat transfer mass. Either a very big air cooler - which will surrender in high demand application, a big AiO or an open loop setup. I took the Alphacool Eisbaer Pro Aurora 420. Full copper 420mm radiator and an open-loop tested silent pump with a big reservoir on it. On idle, I usually get 50-51°C. And no game made it reach more than 78,6°C. Funnily though, the installation of "Ubisoft Connect" actually took 2 seconds of 95,1°C - which only Cinebench could do. Not the 3DMark CPU test - which also never exceeded 79°C.

    AiOs are great if you want to direct the heat away from your GPU. When I built my last PC, it started out with a Corsair AiO and I was pretty happy with it, until, of course, the pump failed. Then I got a Noctua NH-D15 which cooled the CPU a lot better, but my R9 290 got about 5° C hotter.

    it's because there is a propertie of the pipes which is this, the copper pipes have just a drop of water, and then sealed at almost no pressure, so the water is nearly boiling point, when the pipes get warm the water evaporates and the heat transfer is from the cpu surface to the grills, don't receber exactly, but something around 6 to 10x faster than the water pump can take the heat out. you can do a very simple experiment to test this: pick some metal(steel, iron some metal with low thermal conductivity) heat it up to 100°C and place the cooling device on top of it, and measure hope much time takes to reach some temperature like 20°C. with this you can derive the output power in terms of heat energy. just apply some thermodynamics into it.

    I bought a Noctua NH-U12P CPU cooler around 2009 (like 13 years ago). Since then I changed to different CPU sockets twice: to LGA1150 and recently to LGA1700. Both times I contacted Noctua customer support for an adapter for those sockets, and both times they sent them free to my home in less than a week. So 13 years later of buying an "expensive" CPU cooler, I still have it in my gaming computer and it works as the first day. Very very quiet too. And also, my computer case has 3 Noctua fans, apart from the CPU cooler: 2 intake and one exhaust. They are completely silent, and have only one working at 300rpm (no noise at all) for office work, and rest working at 0rpm (stopped). When gaming, they start working automatically (the motherboard does it when temperature increases), but they are not even close to their maximum 1200rpm, so even gaming the Noctua fans are quiet!! I have never been so happy with any component in my system as I am with the Noctua fans. And I have been building my own computers for gaming for 28 years now!!

Simply air coolers are superior to those crappy AIO coolers and they're also cheaper.

    That's the principle of any watercooling method. Well at least those without any form of compressor actually cooling the water. It's just that the radiators of AIO watercoolers are pretty bad. Cooling comes down simply to surface area and heat distribution over said area. With water you can theoretically transport heat better but if it ends up with just running two pipes through some short metal blade it's never going to compete with a smart setup of heatpipes running through a much wider area. unless you have a ridiculously well designed radiator, a huge case that fits a huge radiator or even better an external radiator even custom watercooling won't get you that much better results. Well at least until you get to the point where the airflow to the parts that need cooling is obstructed. IN those cases watercooling is a necessity.

Quite dissapointed consider the price difference between top tier AIO versus cheapest air cooler and the later won.

    Are you sure it isn’t custom water cooling? An aio is a couple thumb screws and a sealed system. Don’t really need to be a professional to hook that up

    Just return it and get a noctua cooler. Noctua is better than any AIO in every way except maybe looks which is subjective.

    But does it really matter? If you enjoy tinkering with your computer just keep those expectations you had up and enjoy the ride. I always hate the "SHOULD'VE BOUGHT THIS LOL" comments. If you're having fun with it and the performance is good, why would it matter?

    Keep it, AIOs are great. Some are quiter and cooler than air coolers and they look really clean. I have an NZXT cooler and I love it.

    I know the potency of AIOs top mounted vs front mounted was brought up, but frankly, with a testing video like this, since you were testing for noise levels anyway, it would've been worth it to have data points for a front mounted AIO as well. Those results would've very likely favoured the AIOs more clearly. Personally I went with one for my current rig just for aesthetic reasons. I like the look much more. The low profile pump, the RGB lighting at the top of the case... and I have a case that has very good airflow for GPU temperatures, which also benefit from the AIO setup over an air cooler. And my CPU temp never goes above 67C. 5800X with a CoolerMaster ML240L V2.

    Found this after my AOI shipped but oh well. I mostly bought it to have fans illuminated red shining down on everything else but I guess I should buy an air cooler to keep as a spare in case of failure. After I fill every other fan port with a red glowing fan

    One other advantage of water cooling is that in more compact computers the small pad is a lot easier to fit on the motherboard than a massive air cooler.

    True, I just went from a be quite dark rock pro 4 to a Corsair h100i pro RGB xt and now I don’t have to do a painful cooler removal to clean dust out
