Hi guys, is there a CPU waterblock with heatsink and fan support?
i know it sounds silly but im just curious

I was looking at cooler master hydra for GPU, I wonder if there is a hydra for CPU

The CPU block from Gigabyte's Galaxy set offers that option. I think you can buy it seperately without the whole set, but I may be wrong.

Edit: See here for TPUs review of the set and the fan that clips onto the block.

Why would you want to use a water block as an air cooler? Water blocks are supposed to be used with water, not fans.

ya cause i was always thinking of the back-up option, if the water pump fails it can still ventilate the CPU without over heating, or one of the other specially cause im using a sealed external case, I was planning to try Hybrid WC to add to my back-up cooling

Well... it might work if you let the fan spin with 90000rpm, otherwise please bury that thought deep enough so you will newer come across it again

I have seen someone mod a CNPS9500 to run water through the heatpipes.

If you go water, then go WATER, not air. BUT: Instead of focusing on pushing air towards the CPU, focus on a well ventilated case that directs airflow over the parts that now are missing fresh air due to the missing CPU fan.

ya sure start a new thread then we`ll go from there but im telling you active cooling has a drawback man it can cool your entire system depending on what you set (5c-15c) but you may experience higher electricity bill (150W-200W) 110 VAC @ 1.5 amps or 0.75 Amps. on 220VAC just for the cooling itself


that`s why im gonna try water cooling+air cooling so that if the weather is cold, i can switch to it, and if the weather is hot, i can turn on the refrigerated

i don't give a damm about electricity bill, i'm just want to learn something new, and i'm tired about water/air cooling,




bro why don't you make your own custom Water block, and glue a TRUE on top of that
