Can I liquid cool my PSU?........ Or get a new case?

[Metaformed]

My power supply has always been the loudest part of my pc, except my mechanical keyboard, and I would like to liquid cool it so it can be perfectly quiet. Anyone know how?

 

 

On a serious note as I would probably kill my self attempting to do something like that, Can anyone suggest me a new case that is quiet, and has a good amount of hard drive bays, I have 4 mechanical, and looks nice, for $100 or less?

Define R5/S, NZXT H440/S340, Enthoo Pro, 750D

First: don't go and water cool your psu, just get a good silent one. Most good branded psu's are quiet anyways.

 

Second: what pc are you using right now? What are your specs?

Liquid cooling a PSU, I wouldn't bother mate. Buy a new one that has silent operation.

btw there was a liquid cooled PSU revealed  at CES

NEX are Aurum rebrands. Shouldn't be THAT loud IIRC.

Anyway, Define R5/S

I am currently using a Supernova NEX750 G1, and, I guess it wouldn't be so bad If i didn't have to have it right next to my face due to lack of room.

I know what you use, it's a mediocre PSU

Buy a branded high end PSU. They usually are quiet and have large fans. Also, if you need 500w, get a 600-650w PSU. Most people hate on this. But having headroom in a PSU means easier upgrading, less heat from the PSU and considering it doesn't heat up, the fans stay silent and almost never speed up. On some PSUs they won't even turn themselves on unless there is a lot of load on it.

Well, this started as a mediocre build, 2 or 3 years ago, then It turned into something I kept on upgrading, I just haven't needed more power lol.

It would probably be a lot cheaper to just get a PSU that's silent during normal load, than to liquid cool it. Maybe even look into passively cooled PSU's.

Huh .... Liquid cooled PSu...i never heard about that....but i wouldnt do that because actually water is very conductive and well you can expect that 240volts and waterIST THE BEST COMBO.......and i forget to also say its AC so its much worse (Btw DC would electrolize)

... water is not necessarily conductive, use deion and call it a day.

 

EDIT: Apparently this doesn't look like a joke. I'm joking about this, please be careful.

You are a electrician ???? NO i guess no water is super conductive and leaks can be VERY DANGEROUS actually in thoose high voltage parts where is AC not DC (DC electrolizes that means it creates HHO thats explosive and AC just goes SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS until it wont burn out)

That was a joke... I know water is conductive once exposed to any sort of metal which ionizes because I know basic chemistry and electricity. Don't need to be an electrician to make a joke m8.

well if someone would just throw hes pc in water because its "non conductine" than he would end up with a spark mess and if he wouldnt wear rubber shouse that pretty much he would be dead with the PC....

It actually happens as soon as you expose it to air...

Even the process of pouring the distilled and deionized water into a new container is sufficient to allow CO2 to dissolve unto the fluid and render it conductive enough to be dangerous (via the carbonate buffer reactions).
