quiet water cooling2 - fans fans fans

Sat Aug 24, 2002 12:33 pm

Part deux of my questions on water cooling: "To fan or not to fan..."

A) I was also thinking of simply lifting my radiator off the ground (outside the case) using some legs. With the ambient air naturally rising through the radiator, would this be enough to keep the water cool enough? (I would be fine with giving up some overclocking potential). Downside: the butt-ugly radiator is outside the case (--> could also you not use a fan on the radiator with it inside the case?)

B) High quality cases have loads of fans, which I figure I could mostly turn off. I was thining of turning everything off except for the front filtered fans and the power supply's fan. This way I would have positive air pressure in the case, so no dust would get inside.

C) What are good cases for water cooling? Aside from size, are there any other considerations?

Thanks!
