Water Cooling made by Miazga82 - Page 2

How easy is it to set up a passive water cooling system? I assume you would probably need two radiators? Is it even worth while?

Its a counter or ... flow indicator and circuit sensor attatched to the cpu_fan
if the pump stops (brake down) the PC will be shuted down

Talk about slick, that's a ingenious safety device. :)

During the day its a "noisekiller" :). At night you can hear hard disk and two 120 fans, but they are runnig at min speed so you can imagine how silent it is.
Im using a Tagan psu (U01-380W) which are really silent.

Its quite easy. The one thing u need is a big radiator (ca. 50x50cm).
But a fully passive PC its impossible to achieve. I mean there always have to be at least one fan in the rig

Well, I guess I wasn't looking for a completely passive computer. At least a passive water cooling system for the processor and possibly the GPU. It is practical?

As you probably know there are two radiators in a car. First (the biger one) is used to cool the engine ... the other one (smaller) is used for heating the interior of a car, and also for water cooling ;)
