Watercooling a PSU

Ummm, what?

Why would you do that exactly?

And even if you do it, you're still going to have to have fans on the radiator, unless you get a huge ass one and don't run the comp for too long at one time.

Then just get another watercooling system to cool the radiator :p
 
Looking at the inside of a spare PSU, the fans do nothing but blow air across two heat sinks and a couple of coils in the center.

So if you increased the size of the heat sinks and added a water block, you could cool it down. But would take some experimenting to get it right.

The only thing I see wrong with a fan less case is the total removal of air movement on all the components. This may not be a factor, but something to think about, as alot of factory built systems have almost no air movement.

and if you run your lines to a different area you would not have to listen to the radiators fans ( mine are going to go thru the floor to under the house where even in the summer the temps are 30 degrees below the room , my computers are in on the 100 plus days we get, and never get below 50, during the winter )

that way all i will have to listen to is the quiet PSU fan.

Let us know how it works , so I can try it too:D
