Computer Q

Anyone here into computer gaming at all, I was wondering what people were doing for cooling on their systems?

What is your rig? There are many options out there. It just depends on your budget and how much cooling you really need.

HHAHAHAAA, I am a bit leary of that, I heard the mineral oil will eventually start bleeding into the caps and whatnot.
PentiumD, 3.0Mhz, 4G of ram, 6800 GPU, My vid card gets as high as 80*c when i am playing graphics intense games, a little too high for my tastes.

I run 3 fans an a water cooling unit, but my GFX Card has a insanely big blower fan on it so it takes up more then 1 slot.

Air cooling. Antec 900 case which is already loaded with fans, plus a Tuniq Tower on the CPU = all the cooling I need. Granted, I lapped my CPU and the Tuniq so I get nice low core temps.

It is filled with mineral oil to dissipate the heat.

I knew that but why an air stone? Or is that what dissipates the heat?

is that actually how you have yours setup? thats pretty cool if it is...


ive personally never had many heat issues (besides the room baking, lol) with my setups or else id do some sort of water cooling..... ive done alot of over clocking and play games often enough. i usually like said above use very good cases and zalman cpu fans etc. my video cards are usually high end so the cooling is good..


i would however consider water cooling if it kept the temps outside of the box down. any input from you guys on that?
