Water cooling by hands at home

If you often play powerful games or youfor some reason does not suit the staff cooling of the computer, you will now learn how the water cooling system is made by oneself. Buy ready - expensive, and not everyone can afford it. It is much easier to purchase the necessary parts and do everything yourself. The Internet describes a variety of different ways, but we will focus on the most optimal of them (in my opinion).

The main task is to take out the cooling radiatortogether with a pomp and a surge tank to the balcony. In order for the water cooling of the computer to work effectively, it is necessary to transfer the computer to the corner closest to the balcony. Using a puncher, you need to drill two holes, into which two hoses are pierced. One of them will be a supply hose, and the other will be a "return". Still need to hold on the balcony cable 12V from the computer power supply.

Further, water cooling by one's own hands requiresfollowing actions. This will be the connection of the water block with the expansion tank. We fasten both to that, and to the other fitting with the help of FUM tape. In the drilled holes we pass the cable and hoses. With the help of thermo-foam they are put on the radiator, they can be put on a pump with a water-block and a surge tank even without a hairdryer. If you miss the connection with silicone, it will be just fine. All hoses are clamped with the help of automotive clamps. In total, they will need six pieces.

That water cooling by one's own hands wasmore efficient, I advise you to fill in it with automobile antifreeze as a coolant. All the accessories that are on the balcony, it is better to place in the made semi-box. The material is suitable for advertising plastic, which is connected with superglue.

Now it is necessary to pass into the computer casehoses. This is done through the back wall by removing the plugs. The water block needs to be greased with thermal paste, then fasten it to the processor. Everything, water cooling with your own hands is ready!

This system has been working for me for three months withoutany censures. But it will be fair to note that at first I installed transparent hoses made of silicone, and instead of antifreeze, the system was filled with distilled water. After a month of operation, the water became rusty, and the pipes due to their flexibility completely leaned over. After that, it was decided to replace all silicone pipes with reinforced ones, and the system was completely washed. Corrosion appeared as a result of contact of the radiator with water.

After the modernization, this water cooling by itshands provides the temperature of the processor within 25 degrees Celsius. And when the street is cold and open the balcony window for airing, the processor does not heat above 15 degrees.

Certainly, such water cooling by itshands has another advantage. When buying a new computer, you do not have to make any drastic changes to its cooling system. All the main elements will be on your balcony. Use your health!
