How do you cool your computer?

My computer has a freakin' huge fan, and does not require any other type of cooling

I actually just have a stock heatsink w/ 4 120mm (I think?) fans. It's pretty well cooled, but I'm planning on getting a high quality heatsink with some other upgrades in the near future.

I like the submersion video. Very unique way to cool a computer. But I have a giant fan.

Air cooling for me.

Water cooling is too expensive and risky (imo). That submersion one is awesome, but what a hassle to change components and move it.

Air cooling for the desktop I'm on now (I wanted water cooling but thought the money would be better spent on other components). No kind of cooling whatsoever for my laptop appareently, because it's always overheating

I put ice in the vents

Stock cooling, but with some 120mm fans on the case. I have a complete watercooling loop ready to be installed, but i think i'm going to wait until i get some upgrades for that.

Oh, and submersion is a gimick. The computer will only work for one or two days max, and the connectors have to be out of the oil... it's just not worth it.

You don't mention pelts or phase change

i'm going to try that submersion method someday when i have the parts but didn't spend big bucks on them
EDIT: After seeing Caboose's post i'm very discouraged

Yeah, it's just for show. People who do it use old parts that they don't need, just to prove a point.

Another interesting point would be having some sort of low viscosity oil in the watercooling loop.

Good 'ol Fans do me.
That sounds wrong

Stock heatsink.

Like really, if you have a well vented room and live in a house, the stock one is good enough.

Unless you get into overclocking and tweaking your system, then it may change!

Everything else it too expensive!

Even the cheap air coolers are so much better than the stock rubbish. Besides, lower temps = a longer life. And usually a lot quieter.

I'm pretty sure my laptop uses a fan, and the submersion-cooling video was absolutely awesome, not sure if I would do it though.

I use stock air cooling, but I plan to water cool sometime in the future.

Maybe if I get some nice money I can go phase changer style ;D

I have a vacuum cleaner drawing air away from the CPU

Just kidding I have a stock cpu heatsink with 120mm fan, a Sapphire 4850 with a big heatsink and a 120mm fan and a 120mm case fan.

I'm interested in solutions like the Corsair H50 - integrated loop for the CPU - but I'm on the fence: it might be hassle-free, but it could also be worse than good air cooling.

Every so often I drop to my knees and blow on it, I dunno about the fan inside it though.

Earl, i've heard a lot of good things about the H50. Other units like it fail miserably, but this can keep up with the TRUE and the Prolimatech.

I had liquid cooling 1 computer but the power supply burned out and it was a home server.

Most people reuse their watercooling loops from build to build...

Just a question about liquid cooling kits, the Swiftech Compact and Aquagate Max don't need any tubing going outside of the case, that is, with the radiator inside the case, right? The Swiftech Compact's radiator is also a reservoir, so there's really no need for the tubes to go out. The Aquagate Max has its reservoir as part of an external drive bay, so you can just install it as you would a DVD burner.

Sounds like you have very loving fans.

I use a fan tray for my acer, the MacBook is usually on my (open) lap, so it doesn't need much cooling...also, I don't sap the system power much, so it's not likely to have a heat problem. It gets warm sometimes, but it's NEVER been as hot as the acer...

Well, my computer had a gigantic fan originally and when I opened it when the household was sleeping, it was like an F1 race but I changed it to a better and quite one a few months ago. I missed that noise though lol

Gigantic fans should be quiet... the whole point is that they spin at lower speeds to push the same amount of air, meaning they're quieter.

Well, by saying gigantic, I ment it was a lot bigger than the up to date fans. And my computer is from like 2004 lol
