I have never done a water-cooling setup before, and I would like to give it a shot. I am not a huge overclocker, but I would like to remove the noise and heat of having fans in my room. I would like to build a system where I can actually have a radiator outside my window.
I have some questions regarding this:
I have some questions regarding this:
- Do they make cases that have pre-made holes/nozzles for external tubing?
- For cases that do not, do they make a part that attaches to the computer case, and provide an attachment point for tubes on both sides?
- Are there any limitations on the length of tubing? (pump specs, etc)
- Do they make weather-proof fan/radiator enclosures for outdoor use?
- Do standard 120mm PC fans typically operate at -60F?
- Is it possible to eliminate in-case fans entirely?
- In regard to the above item, must I take care in purchasing computer components that have liquid-cooling heatsinks available?
- Is it necessary to have a reservoir? What are the challenges of not having one?
- Do they make screw-style fittings for mating hoses with other parts?
- What is the quietest pump available?
