Thread: Cooling fan or Heatsink.. which is better??

Some computer products have cooling fan, and some have heatsink... which is the best in your oppinion??
i personally like Heatsink. bcuz its silent in cooling. but i m not with those heatsink which r not enough efficient to cool doun the temperature.[/list]

You actully need Both....If you are running a heatsink its only able to carry away the generated heat, specially you may c the modern GPU heatsinks are made big and long, But it still needs to be cooled else you know what happens....

My opinion, If you want to cool the CPU, GPU etc , use water cooling, but also you need ventilation... where comes Cooling Fans.

ya ... you r right.. but modern gpus have larger heatsinks... and i think some of them r effecient enough to keep the gpu cool.
offcourse i support heatsinks with cooling fans, but some of these technologies have problems. like some of XFX gpus have both cooling fan and heatsink.. but those gpus stay very hot all the time. in comparison i can say Gigabyte 8500GT. it only has a big heatsink. and the temperature stays at 40-46 degrees always.

thats why they use watercooling of some cards. temp drops down to such as 22 degrees

Ya, My Radeon HD 2400 Pro doesn't have cooling fan. It has a large Heatsink which works pretty well. It's Gpu temperature hardly exceed over 50 Degree. It's temperature always remain at 44-46 Degree at idle mode. I have seen Gpu temperatures reaching over 80 Degrees when running under full load, though it has both cooling Fan and Heatsink! This card was Radeon X1900 XT.

ya, I support silent too, but as well as i support non silent, It also depends on what type of area/ you live in, for example you living in Iraq where the temperature and climet is more warm, even thou u have an AC in your home it will make a difference,

other hand in a normal temperature country's/Europe wont cause much problem, But still people who like over clocking or just dont want to get their GPU burned would use a water cooling, FACT is in todays Midi-ATX casings you need to mod the casing before you can install a watercooling..

All the best..

water coolin is a big problematic thing. its effecient.. but i dont like it bcuz of its bothering. change the water every 2 or 3 months. the water costs 3000 tk for each half cube.. stay out of sharp edges ang other risks of lickage of water pipes... damn!!!

I think there is other ways rather than change water every 3 months, and you actually need to do it right with the "right Stuff" meaning good piping with double coated for high pressure liquid flow....

Any way, thats why i stick with fans..

Is water cooling solution available here in Bd?

available ... but rare ...

Any idea about price?

no!! probably mr. zaid have some knowledge about it....

last time I saw one of my friends use water cooling they said it was 12000, tk . I reckon it would be more, as for extreem ones the prize goes above 400 NZD!! I think Tomorrows Gaming Should have a Water cooling for their Next or upcoming quizes? the winer gets a water cooling ?

This may in courage our moders ? what do you think?>

He he, very good idea, as the price is too..

idea is good ... but .. problem is for water cooling a better chasis of sharp edge free is required.... what about that??

Have anyone seen ASUS's MAXIMUS special edition motherboard. It has water cooling saying H2C ready. It uses Intel X38 chipset. Also 8 channel HD sound.

i've seen too. correction: H2C=H20 Ready.

bhi water cooling ar somporkay apnader bangladesher lokder idea kom, boltay galay sob PC stuff (hardware niya maximun ar idea kom) jai hook ASUS ar oi sob water cooling hoilo cheap made, (yes) ar real hardcore overclockers would never use it, I would never use it, its like built in graphics card that works but not when it comes to most games

Thanks for that, neva knew that. Neva gonna buy that.

Well, give some logic why u said, 'real hardcore overclockers would never use it, I would never use it, its like built in graphics card that works but not when it comes to most games'.

Water Cooling Sommondhe Onek Gyan Hoilo.I Didnt Know So Many Thing About Water Cooling Thanx
