With new CPUs and GPUs being insane housefires
i9 7800x-350w
Vega-400w
will we see a resurgence in custom water cooling loops?
In the past, the only way to get the full performance was a custom loop. (He 5970,6990, gtx 690) Power usage dropped and better coolers were designed so water was not necessary anymore.
But now, air cooling is reaching it's limits once again.
Water-cooling is pleb tier.
No. The same autists who already have custom loops are the market for i9s and nobody is going to buy Vega except miners. People aren't going to spend money on a custom loop just to get an Intel housefire. They'll either buy Ryzen, easily cooled on a free cooler that comes in the box, or stick with what they have.
Water cooling is worse than air cooling. It only exists to save space in extreme circumstances or for meme "aesthetics" like OP's image. Performance is worse than standard air across the board.
everything you said is wrong

I'm calling the fire marshall, that's too dangerous.
>will we see a resurgence in custom water cooling loops
nope too expensive. Only the "enthusiast" tier builds we see now will continue to use autism loop cooling. New housefires will just start being packaged with AIOs.
The main problem is water cooling went from performance to cosmetic in the 2010s. It's pretty common in this tier of PC building to spend $600-$1000+ on just the loop. Most of that money going to looks. You can build a simple no frills cpu/gpu water loop for under $400 but no one really wants that and you're still 2x the cost of aio units.
I would agree it's expensive.
My loop is around $600 for everything.
That being said, my pump, fittings, and res are reusable.
I've used the same shit for 3 different loops now
Fittings and res don't go bad
Pumps die at 5 years though
good thing he's using banana smoothie.
It's not that it's expensive. It's expensive for cosmetic reasons. A CPU/GPU looped didn't cost $600 in 2004. I just used some barb fittings and plastic hose clamps.
I price a loop out every now and then just because I'd like one but it's always ends up in the $600 range. And that's not counting fans or fan controller (already have)... It's just a stupid amount of money I can't justify when most of it is made in east Europe or chinkland. Shit it's like $150 just in the GPU for a fucking back plate and waterblock. And of course the waterblocks basically require a new back plate.
But but my gtx 1080 runs 2,150mhz at 38C load.
2600k (4.6ghz 1.32v) when rendering video doesn't even break 45C
Nice temps!
thats not op's its skunkworks
Just buy an EK AIO
No, Intel just uses toothpaste as TIM, why should I build a custom loop for Intel incompetence.
>meme buzzwords heuheu
Why are you defending this shit?
That's some nice b8 you got there
Please be removing this, thank you sir.
Has nothing to do with the TIm.
But rather a bad connection from the chip to the HIS.
Several testers noted in skylakeX, that the chip heats up but the heat spreader doesn't heat up with it.
That is exactly what TIM is.

>autists who already have custom loops
I do see the value in custom watercooling loops, they could be a lot quieter than a air-cooling solution. I like my systems quiet. Though .. most of the systems I've seen are just as loud due to pump and the air radiator cooling.
>nope too expensive
I seriously doubt that's the case when it comes to OPs question. If you're buying a i9 CPU and motherboard and a VEGA GPU then you're not on a tight budget. I am currently happily using a R5 1600X and a RX 470. Am I going to spend $1000 on custom computer cooling? Hell no. I have a cousin who makes something equivalent to 1.4 million USD per year and I've never heard him question a price-tag of anything. He'll probably pay someone to build him a custom water-cooled i9 system.
this
i9 with one of these bad boys would be worse.
I used to run dual 6990s on air; loud as fuck, but water cooling wasn't needed for heat control purposes.
>shillstwocents
I dunno man. I upgraded my PC last christmas and its been generally more cooler than my previous setups, even under load.

daily point and laugh at Intel
Why not make some sort of bubble around the stuff and dip the entire computer into water when you're at it
