  Old  Fans or Water cooling?

What is your prefered method of cooling? Does anyone use water cooling for their system? I have heard alot about it but was interested to learn abit more and find out what everyone thought about it. I might get it for my system when i next upgrade

well water cooling would be great and even know i know its pretty much 100% safe i still would be a bit iffy using it. . . all it would take is one little leak and your whole computer could end up broke

at the moment i just have my PSU fan and Processor fan in my computer. . . no need for any others with my current spec, once i upgrade i'll add in a case fan or two

On this PC I've got 2 80mm case fans controlled by a 3.5" fan controller. A "silent" heatsink/fan and a quiet PSU (Antec Neopower). The fans were pretty quiet when I first got them but now they've either got louder or I've got used to them.

After I've got my monitor and bought a few bits I've gonna build a new server and experiment with watercooling on it (don't want to do that with this PC)

I have the noisiest fans you can get but very powerful and you can turn them off at night

How does the water work? Do you need to refill once in a while?

no, you don't need to refill it just change the water every once in a while like you would with a fish tank
