Hi all, is it ok to spray my CPU with water when it overheats? I have done it a few times before and it was ok, and is this what they mean buy water cooling?
I have a AMD 5000+ with 3gig GEIL PC2-6400 800MHz DDR2 and a NVIDIA GeForce 7950 GX2 1024MB PCI-E….. thanks

Are you crazy? First of all you’re going to kill yourself, and then you’re going to kill your computer. Why don’t you take it back to where you got it from if it’s over heating or buy a bigger fan. And NO!! That’s not what water cooling is, water cooling is when water passes through a special block that takes the heat out of your CPU sort of the same way that a car’s radiator works.
POOR POOR computer!! :(

Ummmmmm nope, never a good idea to have H2O + Electrical components in close proximity. The term water cooled in this example is actually not water at all but glycerol & it is not in direct contact with the CPU. The CPU has a heatsink built around it & the glycerol flows through the heat exchanger. By means of capillary action the heat generated by the CPU is tranfered by means of conduction to the glycerol which then disipates the heat to atmosphere via the heatsink fins.

DO NOT SPRAY H2O ON ELECTRICAL PARTS 101!! Would you spray water into an electrical outlet? Don't be silly, kid! You'll burn your house down!! "Water Cooling" in a computer refers to a radiator type cooling system made especially for computers. If your having that much of a problem with heat I would suggest a Zalman CPU fan and some "Arctic Silver" thermal grease. If your really desperate there are air-conditioned computer cases out there!

wouldnt recomend it, no. you could rust the pins causing a very bad malfunction. also if any water gets on the circuts of the motherboard your computer will be toast. water cooling is a controlled flow of a liquid that cools parts of the computer, it doesnt actually touch the components themselves.

Is this a serious question? It can't possibly be... you will destroy your computer doing that. box your computer back up and sent it back to the retailer, you sir are too stupid to own a computer.
