Air cooling for extreme condition

[farhannurizza]

Will the NH D15 cool down my CPU with my ambient temprature of 30 degree and humidty of 90% everyday ??

And is it safe ??

[MrLewisMHarris]

yes. And also, where do you live to get that type of humidity?

 

maybe you could just pop it in the fridge or something

[cluelessgenius]

what do you use it for? OC? noise tolerance? also what cpu ?

The cooler is less likely to die in that humidity than the rest of your system. It'll be fine, and work better than many other coolers.

That will be the best part of your system for proficient cooling compared to the rest of the components. Where do you live though to have 90% humidity all the time though?

i wanted an nh-d15 but it's not stocked anywhere in the UK yet *cries* i have to settle with a H110

"settle" is such a sad word to use here when you're talking about two really good coolers

The H110 is a beast, besides the sound the pump makes.

At least you can disconnect the pump if it gets that annoying

I'm using a i5 4670k I don't care about the noise I just care that my component are really cool

Tropical nation dude sometimes got an 90% humidty average

well i did have a H100i, the pump broke, got a replacement... pump broke AGAIN... now im waiting for my replacement h110 and since i dont trust AIO's anymore i really would have preferred the NH-D15... ugh

Don't worry, that cooler will be more than fine. Just don't go crazy with overclocking and if you can munt some fan filters on the case fans, they could help filter the humidity.

Humidity gives the air a higher specific heat, which is actually better for cooling at that high ambient temperature. Humidity only becomes a problem when there's compensation, which only happens when the pc is colder than ambient temperature, so don't use peltiers etc. (no Cooler Master V10 for you). The NH-D15 is a fine cooler and will serve you well for almost any CPU. Just make sure you don't have any clearance issues as that cooler will often make your first expansion slot unuseable which may cause problems if you want SLI. Also make sure your case is well ventilated as the temperature the cooler tries to cool down to is the inside case temperature rather than ambient.

picked up my H110 about an hour ago, i was dealing through a local store who's supplier couldnt find anyone with any of them in stock, i'll just have to see how this one goes, but im not overly enthusiastic

damn that is unlucky, if you only ordered it an hour ago i'm sure you could cancel it

i've been dealing with the guy for nearly 6 months, he works in his own store, i doubt he'd order from amazon, he has his own supplier, i order things at trade prices and pick it up next day so if his supplier doesnt have it im pretty much boned

Instead of buying pc cooling, consider air conditioning lol.

Seriously how do you even play games in 30C and such high humidity.

[farhannurizza]

It's not always like that usually it's around 25 degree and 28 but sometimes a week has an average humidity with 90% and 30 degree

I also have an a/c but I'm only turning it on when it's night

Just wanted to jump in this, I have the nhd15 with the new devils canyon, Air cooled and ASUS 5-way optimization got it up to 4.7 @ 1.35 volt and I never see it past 39 degrees. I usually have my comp on for 18 hours straight a day running games and audio production applications, I also live in TX where its been 98 degrees and 100% humidity. All in the NZXT H440. I'm going to run some benchmarks.
