Does Water Cooling your PC Also Cool Down Your Room? - The Workshop
We water cool the CPU and video card of a computer to determine if that'll make your gaming environment more comfortable.. FOR SCIENCE! Strawpoll Link: ...
NO! - Because the PC is giving off the same amount of heat energy no matter
how it's cooled. Unless your water cooling has outside the house radiators.
The PC may or may not run cooler, but that is only a reflection on the
coolers ability to exchange the heat with the surrounding environment!
resistivity at 20degC - What does that prove relative to this conversation? Nothing!My point made above is thermodynamic fact. Keep your pointless table, and read this: //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_of_thermodynamics
Err, sorry. I made a mistake. What I'm trying to say is that it will give off more heat at lower temperature. Here is why. The resistance of a resistor is affected by temperature. In the case of silicon, the temperature coefficient is -0.07 ( I once thought it was a positive number ), meaning that resistance will be high are lower temperatures. This explains why in the first test, Delta T is 6 degrees while Delta T of second test is 6.1 degrees. :D
+Henry Chan You are wrong sir!Reality is, the room (with closed doors and windows) for this this experiment is a closed system in thermodynamic terms. Heat into the system is the excess heat energy given off by the CPU! Fact is that a heat source with a more efficient ability to transfer heat will warm the room up Faster. And if the CPU is able to run at higher power states due to better heat dissipation, it WILL consume more power over a given time of hard use because it is not throttling. Hence it will give off more heat to its environment - The room! The temperature may be lessened, but the amount of heat energy will be greaterIts a simple matter of power in vs heat out! Keep it cool, it will run faster, and use more power (efficiently) - Running hot it will perform not so well, and still give off lots of heat whilst throttling and using less power. End of!You can't argue with the laws of thermodynamics! They are well proven! A CPU cooler is nothing more than a heat transfer machine - it does not deplete or reduce heat (energy cannot be created or destroyed), it simply transfers it to somewhere else!!!
+ShawJohn31 Resistance is affected by temperature. Not much though. Theoretically, watercooling your PC should lower your room temp by a fraction of a degree.
+joy santod No it won't because you're not moving warm air out the room nor are you bringing in any cool air. So the room should stay about the same temp.
how to cheak cpu and gpu's temp without shuttind down the pc
