liquid cooling ISO Liquid Cooling Parts

[fighterken2012]

I am a College Student. I am attending Independence University Online and my PC has a tendancy to overheat when Running programs that Im learning ahead of the Curve before we get to them in the course. I am going for my associates In Graphics Arts. My PC has some decent specs but its my temps that I run into a problem with when multitasking. Specs are AMD A10-6700 3.7ghz Quad Core APU, MSI Radeon RX-470 ARMOR OC 8gb GPU, 16gb Corsair Vengance DDR3 1600mhz RAM, ASUS F2A55-M motherboard, and 4 physical hard drives equaling over 2tb of Hard Drive Space. Im asking if anyone knows where I can find either really cheap or free Liquid Cooling Parts. I honestly dont care if they are used. I currently have a AIO by UpHere technologys. Its a 120mm liquid setup and it just isnt cutting it anymore. Please Help me.

Ok maybe I should also state that I havent been able to work in over a year due to medical issues that employers apparently dont want to take any chances with. Herniated disc, Meniers disease, stuff like that apparently keeps me from working so any help with where i can find parts would be appreciated. This is why Im in college so I can work from home.

So it over heats as in programs are crashing because it that or heavily throttling?

aliexpress.com if you are set on building a custom loop.

 

I have a full loop in transit for cheap should all arrive here in 40 days or so.  Just research about mixing metals etc if you want to keep it superiorly cheap.  I spent $12-14 ea on the gpu/cpu blocks, $23 for pump/res and you can pick using aluminum or copper rads, get tubing from local store etc.  

 

However why not just figure out if your case is the problem, or current air cooler not capable?

When Doing Video Editing IE Processing a video for the GTAV RP server Im a part of my temps reach 130-140 Degrees Farenheit. I try to do anything else and it gets to 155 farenheit and starts lagging out my system. Max temp on my CPU is 168 farenheit. I use Rainemeter with Speedfan as the monitoring software wich relays the system INfo to my skin I use to monitor all my temps.

I dont have a air cooler. I have a AIO that I got on Amazon. It was decent for the longest time but cant keep up with the demands i put on my system now. I actually managed to get a Custom loop setup off ebay with all new parts for about $110 US Dollars. Im going with 2 120mm Rads as my case has no where to mount a 240mm Rad. I have a Smilodon  Raidmax Dirktooth Case. Mine is the Black one. They only made 2 colors of it. Black and Silver. Going to mount 1 of the 120mm Rads at the front of the case and the other one at the back where my current single 120mm RAD from my AIO is at. I have plenty of cool air coming in so airflow isnt an issue.

 

This is the custom loop setup Im going With. Costed $110 US Dollars and should definitely get my temps down where they need to be. If I need to cut the clear panel on the side to add a 120mm Intake Fan to help I will but hoping That should not be the case.The Pic of the case is the one I have.If anyone has suggestions on what I should add to the coolant besides the Biocide please let me know. The coolant is a premix made by Thermaltake.

I don’t understand, how is that over heating?

 

Also for that price, you could have got any 120mm aio. Or a decent air cooler that would do better than that.

I already have a 120mm AIO. Its not keeping the temps down when Processing/ Finalizing Videos. Thats why I want to go with 2 120mm Rads. Air cooling would not work for my system. I built my pc as a gaming rig. Specs are ASUS F2A55-M motherboard, 16gb DDR3 1600mhz RAM, AMD A10-6700 3.7ghz Quad Core, 850 Watt Power Supply, MSI Radeon RX-470 ARMOR OC 8gb GPU. WHen I was running Air Cooling I was thermal throttling all the time while gaming and had major game lag.

How hot is the room the pc is in ?And what case do you have?

The room averages about 75 degrees farenheit. . That is a picture of the case i have. It has a intake on the front 1 on the right side and 2 on the left side and 1 exhaust on the back of the case

 

[Mick Naughty]

Well the temps you said it ran at, can’t be where it throttles at. 

[Mick Naughty]

Seems like a poor airflow scenario. Expanding the aio with a cheap loop may end up the same.

the AMD A10-6700 Maxes out at 168 degrees farenheit. It hits that temp it shuts down the PC safety where it thermall throttles is around 150 to 155 degrees farenheit. Definatly not an airflow issue. Ive got plenty of cool air coming into the case.

Tdp says other wise but it doesn’t matter at this point.

Yeah I know. Its just the way my system runs. I used to have a Temp gauge till i went Liquid and started using Rainmeter. Pulled it to make room for the DVD drive. Im hoping having more cooling surface will help. If I need to I will cut the side panel to add a 120mm Case Fan to draw more cool air in. yeah TDP is 65 Watts. Max Operating Temp According to AMD is 71.3 Celsius wich is 160 Farenheit. The Highest ive ever gotten is 155 Farenheit according to Rainmeter and I never Got a Temp Alarm From the ASUS AI Suite. I just checked AI suite and it shows a high temp of 149 farenheit.
