Posted April 4, 2021 I was wondering about something. I know AIO coolers exist like the ones from Be Quiet where you can refill the loop through the CPU block, so they are not entirely a closed loop. Some cases have those kind of rubber holes (don't know the name) where you can put custom water cooling tubes through. My case actually also has this. So I would like to know, do AIO coolers also exist with detachable or replaceable tubes? I'm not planning to get into custom water cooling, it seems cool and all, but I don't plan to invest time and money in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 4, 2021 Alphacool makes something like that. I was headed down that path once, but the second you expand an AIO loop, you might as well have just gone full custom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because my case can only have an AIO outside, I would either have to mod it or go custom loop. I'm just not a fan of water cooling a GPU, I also would be too scared to modify it honestly. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'd say stay away not for fear of water, but for fear of wallet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'd say stay away not for fear of water, but for fear of wallet. I'm pretty sure it's fun to mess around with and the result will be amazing. I've seen the prices for every water cooling part and even the custom loop kits and they are pretty hefty. I'm already happy with my AIO, it was a dream of mine before to have anything water cooled in my PC. I'd rather spend my money on upgrading more, CPU is next on my list.

Water cooling will never make up for just using the money to go up to a higher tier of product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
