Corsair 800d

[rhyxn]

Hey, I'm planning on buying the corsair 800d and it seems water cooling is best for said case. But i'm scared
are there any guides/videos on how to use watercooling. thanks.


PS: I'm looking for some really quiet case fans let me know if you find any.

if you are scared maybe you should look at closed system watercooling like the corsair h50 or similar from antec--these dont involve doing anything more difficult than putting on a normal heatsink and dont need refilling

look on youtube

what size case fans?

If this is your first build i wouldnt recommend doing a water cooling loop, they add a few hundred onto the price and complicate the assembly farther so for your first build stick with air cooling. The closed loop coolers like the H50 dont do spectacularly, bigger air coolers do much better for less money and are simpler.

You might want to look into a big air cooler monolithic case like the Silverstone FT02 if you are going to be doing air cooling and have that big of a budget for a case, but for the most part you dont need an expensive case to get good results.

This is actually my third build last two were air cooled . I might just stick with a h70 or something of that sort. case fans 120m

Okay, since you have done a built before take a look at some of the water cooling guides over in the overclocking forum like this one

one good thing with the corsair they let you use memory modules with really big heatsinks--the top air coolers may perform in the same ballpark but can have issues sometimes filling the memory slots if you have big ram heatsinks

Cool i'll look into it. If it seems to hard i'll stick with a h70 or some other brand
