my pc keeps reminding me its going over 80 degrees! I need some water cooling.

Anyone know a cheap route to water cooling? all the kits i've seen are mega expensive

If it used to be alright and has just started doing this I would replace the processor fan with a like for like replacement but a better quality.

If this is a new build, check that the thermal grease is evenly covering the cpu and heatsink, (you should be able to get this from most pc shops for about a quid) and also ensure the fan is working properly and see if the mainboard has any utility that can increase the fan speed.

Hope this helps

Just take yer cooler off and blow it out with an airline, watercooling on the cheap is possible, but a bit overkill ?

Hi there. Im running watercooling. Cost about 250 to do, but I did it in a new PC built from scratch. temp. usually around 25 degrees usually. Check this baby!!

I use this on 2 PC's and they keep the temp down to 50 degC no problem. I wouldn't pay more than £40 bnib though, less for 2nd hand

Depends what sysem you are using but watercooling is still only raly needed for over clockers.

If you want a cheap way of doing it its possible to fill seal up a computer case and fill it with vegetable oil...

It works and its cheap.... toms hardware did it

You can build a car for that ! Clean the case out, get rid of the dust in the cooler and make sure there is a decent case fan fitted. I scrape the gunk off the cpu & cooler base and use a blob of Arctic Silver on there, it transmits the heat better.
