cpu cooling

I'm planning to do a liquid cooled loop with the coolant going from the CPU block to a 120 mm radiator, to some Peltiers to chill the liquid below ambient temps. I'm doing it for a school project and I dont have much funding. Tbh I have no idea what i'm doing and could really use some advice...

Has anyone got any experience with getting this software working consistently? I have a Kraken X62 and it worked reasonably well with my last build, but since transferring it to an X570 platform with integrated RGB I've had no end of trouble. The software freezes when I'm using it, fails to...

So i’m building a new gaming rig with a i7 8700k and gtx 1080 ti but i’m not sure what CPU cooler to go for. I don’t know if i should go with an AIO or an air cooler. I’ve been looking at the Kraken x62 and x52 and the Noctua Nh-d15. I obviously like how the Krakens look but i’m afraid that...

i saw a video by electroboom where he tried to use peltier devices to make electricity those peltier devices can also be used to cool / heat up things so i was wondering if i would be able to use one of those device to cool down my cpu, than to throw a heathsync and a fan on it ( so just put a...

I have a Corsair H100i from 2014-2015. I have it left over form my last build but recently completely upgraded my whole build. I am currently using it in my new build with an i9 9900k. How long can I expect my old cooler to last? Should I just go ahead and replace it or wait until it peters out?

Seen posts from previous years saying the Hyper 212 EVO is the best, is this still the case? Want to OC this old PC till end of year.

Im most likely getting the coolermaster H500M case and upgrade from my kraken x62 to the x72 or other 3 fan radiator as it can fit in the new case. Should i use the included 2, 200mm ARGB fans, the included x72 / other aio fans either push or pull or use both in push pull config. Also are there...

I have the budget of 100 euros (111 USD) (89 pounds)

I am deciding between the Hyper 212 Evo and the Hyper 212 Black Edition. They are both the same price on Amazon. Is there a difference in performance/noise? Are there any other important differences? Thanks! https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/coolers/cpu-air-coolers/hyper-212-evo/ - Hyper 212...
