Yes they are similar at the end.

The fact is that, or you do at 100% or just leave, because the advantage is minimal even if the expenditure is similar to high end air heatsinks ... A custom kit costs more but i assure you it's worth all the money spent.


In these kits, the problem is the length of the circuit that should make the water is simply too short the water does not have time to cool down.

I assume you mean by "the circuit that should make the water is simply too short" is that the radiator lacks surface area comparable to multi fan form factor radiators.

That would be a sure bet. If a small surface area can somehow cool better than a large surface area somebody better call CERN and let them know they aren't the only ones that discovered something outside the parameters of physics and reality.

But from my own tests with single radiators I find a single radiator, even a thin one, even on a short loop with no res, just a T line will cool an overclocked Quad. The water shifts heat from the copper more efficiently than air does from a heatpipe. This allows for somewhat denser construction of LC heat exchanger parts.

Many high end air coolers have similar results, or you do some custom WC system or do not buy these because they have no real advantage.

You are forgetting about people like myself who have had enough of over 1kg of metal either pressing down on or hanging off of the CPU socket.

Going from a full copper scythe ninja with 2 fans to a H50 massively reduced the strain on my board making both me and the board much happier :laugh:

thats because water is a more effective than air at transferring heat.
