This is a link post Has this shit made the rounds yet?
on the day I finished a 10 liter pc w/ mATX, R9, 96G, 7T Nvme, Full 3060, nice lighting, no heat probs.

This is a normal post I used to often think about converting to water cooling
But then I realised my 5+ year old zalman air cooler is still more than adequate. I think we’ve reached the point where processors just aren’t getting any hotter.

In any event don’t the real enthusiasts do oil submersion any more?

This is a normal post I've always found custom loops a bit wanky.
A closed loop all-in-one cooler will be more than sufficient for any normal use case and if you're into competitive/hobbyist overclocking using modern components, you're going to need a liquid nitrogen/helium pot in order to get any kind of recognition from the other dweebs that do that shit.
Mind you, I know a handful of people that - with absolutely zero irony - have the baked in rainbow RGB LED cycle running on every single component and peripheral capable of displaying it from the moment they turn their PC on, until its switched off. Despite the fact that they're the only people witnessing the abomination for 99% of the time. So it's completely unsurprising that some of them also go through the relative expense of setting up a custom loop just because they think it looks awesome or gives them any kind of perceivable performance increase.

This is a normal post I never saw the point of that RGB stuff.
My PC runs pretty much 24/7 and I doubt I'd be able to sleep with all that going on. I prefer my computers to look like computers, not the inside of a 70s Turkish disco.

Hell, the only reason my PC has a window on the side is that it's almost impossible to find a good quality case without one.

P.S. Fuck blue LEDs.

This is a normal post Blue LEDs fuck my eyes up too.

This is a normal post Word.
My LEDs are purely functional. They only illuminate if there's something needing my attention (cooler/gpu/cpu temps over normal, etc).
Then you have people who do this...

This is a normal post I avoided all liquid cooled stuff as I never felt the need for it or that RGB crap as its only me that see's it.
My old case that I have had for years (and simply upgraded the components inside as i needed to) is big enough that the usual decent coolers I have work fine and there is decent airflow. I run GTA5 with everything up full with no issues and its not that noisy (and being as I use it for graphics and music production that's a good thing) No, you can keep all your fancy lighting and other wank I would rather spend the money on more memory or bigger SSD that piss it into the wind.

This is a normal post I don't understand why you'd put a pc in a toilet tank
but NOT use water cooling
