I am planning a new build using the Thermaltake w200 case. I will be using liquid cooling and wondering if I should cool the exhaust. My thinking is I don't want the warm arm circulating back into the case
On that note, cold air from any cold room will be leaving the room close to the floor. So by dispatching the air in an upwards-back direction, you will indeed be helping out a lot, as a matter of fact, the exhaust of air is a must since the air inside the case will typically get hot when under load. So yes, you need to exhaust the hot air from the top and back (if possible).Maybe I wasn't clear. I have radiators to cool intake air. The air in the case is hot air and needs to be pulled out of the case. The law of thermodynamics states warm moves to cold. By way of applying this idea if the exhaust had a radiator to cool the air being pulled out of the case the air would move better. Also that air leaving the case would be somewhat cooler. Air which eventually circulate back towards the case
I am not sure if I understand the logic you present. All the air leaving the case is hot and that will eventually cause the room temp to rise. This will reduce the effectiveness of whatever radiators that are in place. Are you saying that liquid cooling is not effective, not worth the added expense.What do you plan on installing in that case that needs exceptional cooling?
In time, all of the heat generated by the pc will exit the case and enter the room.
Without ventilation, the room will heat up, reducing the effectiveness of whatever radiators you have in place.
Liquid cooling is really air cooling.I am not sure if I understand the logic you present. All the air leaving the case is hot and that will eventually cause the room temp to rise. This will reduce the effectiveness of whatever radiators that are in place. Are you saying that liquid cooling is not effective, not worth the added expense.
You're expelling a tiny bit of slightly warm air, into a HUGE volume of air....the whole room.I am not sure if I understand the logic you present. All the air leaving the case is hot and that will eventually cause the room temp to rise. This will reduce the effectiveness of whatever radiators that are in place. Are you saying that liquid cooling is not effective, not worth the added expense.
