I've got a friend with a PC that he built, cost about $10k and is the size of a couch,
I don't remember the exact specs, but It was 100+ Gigs of RAM..

Anyway, he had a cooling system that was about 5' x 5' and was 250lbs (I helped install it).
But that system didn't over heat at all when he was done with it.

That's the only way a cooling system like that is good for anything, in my opinion.

Pics or it didn't happen.

The whole room water cooling was just a project that they were doing since Linus didn't want to invest in an AC unit. As it's a project, it shouldn't be taken seriously since it's impractical though the idea is still cool.

Plus, this won't stay since they are moving office soon anyway but apparently, they are taking the wc system with them

Really don't fancy spending 200 Quid alone on fans.

Good idea but I feel a AC unit would of been cheaper.

That sounds like bullshit to me, inb4"it's a gaming rig"

But the idea to liquid cool the entire room is as cool AF.. but in reality, just get a H100i srsly.

Well you can't really go past 64gb of ram till 16gb singular modules come out next year

Also naa this build there doing is completely impractical on the long term

It's an interesting concept, but there is no need to have the whole loop go through every computer.

Ac unit(s) in rooms for cooling are extremely noisy. They didn't want to be sitting in a small server room all day with the temperature and noise slowly driving them insane.

Put the towers in the adjacent room and run the cables in through a hole in the wall.

I've also seen someone put a bunch of radiators in the crawlspace beneath their house with extremely loud and high CFM fans like Deltas. That was cool.

EDIT: that pun

did i just
