Liquid Cooling

[Rapido]

Should i go liquid cooling? i heard that it is high maintenance

or should i stick with air cooling.

Go with liquid cooling only if air cooling can't do what you need.

It's more expensive but it is more efficient and a lot quieter.

Liquid cooling rocks if you know what you are doing, you can hash 15-20% faster.

Look into immersion cooling. There are so many people who are crazy about that. But it needs quite a lot of maintenance and when something fails, replacing something is a real pain. I'd just stick to air cooling.

I've seen that before, as others have said air cooling should be fine unless you're doing something particularly demanding.

Liquid cooling is really great if you need highly efficient cooling but can't stand the noise of air cooling. Of course it's more expensive.

I would advise against immersion cooling, if the hardware to be cooled is expensive. There's a high risk of damage.

Best option is going with passive cooling. No noise, no energy consumption. Obviously for most mining applications that's not an option though.


ya.ya.yo!

Yeah, but who does that? Immersion cooling only makes sense if you are really dependent on cutting down cooling costs and can actually save money by employing it. No personal user would go for immersion cooling, I guess.
Here in bitcoin land it's something people like to do for ASIC deployment in mining farms.

Just dont buy the cheap coolers, if you going to liquid cool your going to have to put the money out and buy quality.

PROS

- overclock
- get max performance

CONS

- shorten life of product if over volted

Buy good air cooling and no worries.
The setup should be much easier than water cooling.

Have you seen the metal cooling tubes from Digital Storm? Talk about a luxury system for a computer that is inevitably going to become obsolete.
