So i bought an Antec Kühler H2O 620 for my birthday. It is my first water cooler, so i'm pretty excited about how it is gonna preform :)

I reversed the airflow in my case, so the air will be forced into the case at the back through the radiator. the 140mm fan at the side of the case is supposed to cool air and the other components down a bit, and finally the front fan will force the warm air out of the case.

while playing bf3 the CPU is at a steady 30-32C, GPU is arround 55-57C. The idle temp of the whole system is arround 30-40C.
 
Hmm sound nice now try playing minecraft and downloading the tnt world and lit it then see how your comp like that XD
Minecraft one of the most cpu intensive game exist lol
 
aint no body got time fo that

I ran an Antec system when i first got in to watercooling. Now i'm running a custom rig, with 1 single-unit rad(like the one you have) plus a second 2-unit radiator. I have it cooling both my (overclocked)cpu and GPU.

I don't think I can ever go back to air cooling....:cool:

The only downside to this however is that this increases the ambient temperature inside your PC. Therefore your motherboard/ram/GPU/hard drive temperatures all go up.

I personally have my ran fans pushing the warm air out. This way my ambient temperature stays low while only sacrificing 0.5-1 degrees on my water loop.
 
tryed it :D my thoughts behind my first setup was that the big side fan would cool the components down enough. in reality this doesn't seem to work the best indeed. i now placed the fans blowing air to the back of the case and the sidefan blowing cold air trought the radiator as you said :) thanks for advice!

Minecraftstyle benchmarking :D

And btw I just noticed that my bro is playing Minecraft with impossible high FPS! :O
 
I'm actually using a freon cooled case :P It does the job pretty good,for me. I never tried measuring the temprature,though.
 
Is that an ad?
 
Water cooling is so nice :p
i like water and cooling ;)
so water cooling is perfect
