Anyone uses watercooling system in your PC? Where and when?

I have never tried that yet. It seem that water colling makes such PC more expensive and as result not really popular ones

Do you *really* need it? Isn't standard air cooler enough?

I'm usign Zalman fan cooling and runs great.
Well, i don't really need it, but it's more like an experiment.

I have never tried a computer that had a water cooling system in it and i hope i never have to, i try my best to avoid putting water in my computer, my fans work good enough for me.

water cooling system?? my i know how does it work??

@Hosting never heard of these one,

ust a couple of years ago, water cooling systems were expensive, difficult to install and complicated in use. But vendors have attempted to change that legacy. Many have revamped their lines in an attempt to make their water coolers simple to install and use. We detailed seven recently-launched devices to see if the solutions live up to the vendors' ambitions.

-it is expensive

Well, standard cooling should be more than effective for more than 99% of home computers

it's more expensive but less noise. also if you have a quad core processor, this is ideal

Watercooling system for Pc.that's new to me haven't tried it before maybe it's not popular.

If you use good cooler (NOT watercooler), it won't produce any noise. One of my computers is located close to my bed (the distance between my head and PC is less than 50 cm). I can sleep well if computer is turned off because it doesn't produce ANY noise.

Watercooling is great if u wanna do some serious overclocking.

What is "serious"? Years ago I overclocked my AMD Athlon 2000+ CPU to 3200+ and it used $15 cooler I used it for about 3 years, and my mother continues using it now...

Serious means if u wanna hit 4ghz on ur shiny new I7 920 24/7 an dont wanna get peak load temps of more than 60 or 65C.
With a good WC setup u will be able to reach 4.5 or even 5Ghz if ur lucky with resonable temps (escpecially if u have Peltier thermo-electric coolers attached as well)

All this can be achieved with "normal" coolers.

In ur dreams.

I used to build them, they are a pretty cool set up, but usually not needed for any type of standard use, the companies i built them for were based in warehouses that got extremely hot and used the computers to its max, so in that case a water-cooled PC would be the best bet to not have it overheating.

Though as stated above, if you are thinking of overclocking for serious gaming, it could be of use as well

yes and this is only reason, i run quad core and normal fan is enough and silent ...

I don't think is is necessary this days.
