hi
i put my computer in this room and everytime i come in here the room is pretty warm and so i conclude it's the computer making this room so warm. I was thinking watercooling could help. Will it help? If get a watercooling kit will it still shoot out warm air? Also the computer fans are pretty loud. Any solutions? Any watercooling kit you guys recommend link it please.
 
Far as I know (I'm just building my first system myself), watercooling is just another form of moving heat from one place to another. So whatever you do, the heat from your computer has to be put somewhere. I've also heard that watercooling will actually heat the outside air more (faster?) because it moves heat more efficiently than air cooling.
 
Watercooling won't make your room any cooler but it will make it quieter.

I've only used one Watercooling kit but my own experience has been very good and I recommend it 100%. The Asetek Waterchill KT12A-L30 isn't cheap but it's highly effective, quiet and easy to put together. :)
 
The only way watercooling will make your room any cooler is if you put the radiator ouside the room. And unless your comp is right next to a door or window, having hoses that long would basically negate any cooling advantage you'd get over air cooling.

i would highly recommend reading "watercooling basics faqs" from various forums including this one and build a custom setup... after u read some of these, u should determine whether u want a wc setup for performance or for the silent factor and go from there to determine which brands u want to use..i have found that eheim makes some high quality silent pumps
 
since wc will just move heat away from your pc components more efficiently, your room will probably stay the temperature it is with your current com on.
