Water cooling
I'm about to build a machine and am shopping cases. The one I'm leaning toward has water cooling options (actually, they make two versions of the case, the one in the link is the 'airflow' edition).
- I've never employed water cooling and am unsure of the set up/advantages. My questions are:
- How high are the risks of leakage?
- Does the use of a radiator eliminate the need for case fans?
- Are water cooled systems significantly cooler?
Honestly, if water cooling eliminates the need for fans, the absence of dust and noise are enough to convince me.
ps - I'm not adverse to suggestions for a different case. I'm looking for roomy, easy access to HDDs for adding/removing on demand, quality build, good cooling prospects.
