Wall mounted PC

[adithyay328]

Hey guys. So, I was just wondering; I was going to put my PC on my wall, and I was just wondering; will the extra access to air(being exposed to it) give it good temps? By good temps, I mean temps that give water-cooling a run for it's money. So, yeah. Thanks in advance for your help!

If you add large aftermarket air coolers on it, it can get cooler air and slightly better performance but in general it won't be much difference compared to just opening the side panel on your case or have a test bench.

Oh. So, how much would I have to pay to get the large aftermarket coolers?

It really depends which one you get but most are pretty much in the $75-100 range such as the Noctua NH-D15 or Dark Rock 3, but it would depend on your processor if it's a locked processor a stock cooler is adequate, but fo an unlocked one you can get some pretty good overclocks.

Which company should I get it from? Right now, I'm eyeing Be Quiet! and Cooler Master, but I might even get a custom water cooling loop setup. Another option(more likely than the air coolers) is the AIO watercoolers for CPUs.

It's mainly aesthetics for me i'd personally go for the Bequiet one, If you want to wall mount it a watercooling loop can still be done, others on the forums have created custom builds like that before.
