Watercooled PSU

will my dream come true?(about watercooled psu's)

[tryphaa]

lol wut

why, you would not get any benefit from it really , some PSU dont even turn on the fan half the time now.

[Guest]

I actually surprised that people don't WC their PSUs

[Rashy]

Overclocked PSU

[CoolBeans]

There already is one, I don't know what it is called, and I think it is discontinued

I could see the use for mining rigs

[PassionFruit]

Why?

lol wut

my reaction exactly

lol wut

it would be silent SILENT SILENT SILENT

Unfortunately it is already discontinued

Some power supplies don't even need a fan, let alone water.

mining rigs are targeted to be cheap and maximize profit NO serious miner would consider water cooling there PSU , they would just crank the fan up and let it be.

Well there's fanless power supplies for silence.

[Ertman]

Seems kind of useless.

If you can work out the problem with electricity going bonkers when water hits it, it may happen

What about a power supply without any fans and filled with non conductive cooling gel?

it would probably be VERY quiet and Very cold

There's a word called "silent".

[flibberdipper]

There's really no point in watercooling a PSU. It would be neat if you had your pump on it (short travel, maybe), but other than that it makes no sense.

[airdeano]

so far, there hasn't been a proper way to "water cool" the PSU. merely surrounding

the sheet metal in a water block is not doing very much. the components are the

items that need the cooling and the sheet metal surround is just a cover to keep

fingers/debris from shorting internal components. the interior heat sinks are what

needs the "cooling" not the PSU cover(s). and so my knowledge, there is no PSU

water cooling blocks for the interior heat sinks as with todays efficiencies be a lot

better and the fans not being loud at 50-70% load then it is just a e-peen thing to

water cool the PSU. plus i don't think manufacturers would honor a dripping PSU

for RMA. too many "inexperienced" novices experimenting with their products

wanting the manufacturer to back them up when they mess up. especially the

one that modifies the PSU with the PSU plugged into the wall outlet. go figure?

koolance probably discontinued that PSU because too many people were dying.
