privateapples Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 My HTPC has always had alot of heat and ive spent a couple bills for numerous amounts of fan and they still dont do the trick. I finally want to turn to water cooling but my HTPC is way to small as it is and cant fit a thing. SO i was wondering if there were any external systems that just run the tubes into the computer for the GPU and CPU then back out into the main unit ? Any help would be great thanks!

PeeWee90 Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 Alot of heat from a E7300? Maybe you should look at some aftermarket aircooler before going water? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wevsspot Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 Back in December '09 Swiftech released there "Drive" series radiator. It combines, rad/pump/res all into one piece for external mounting to your case. There are also other "stand-alone" alternatives out there like the Zalman ZM Reserator; http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16835118015 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puck Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 Alot of heat from a E7300? Maybe you should look at some aftermarket aircooler before going water? Not much room for a decent air cooler in a tiny HTPC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do have the room in your cabinet (assuming you have this in a cabinet or on a shelf) for another component? Your best bet would be to gut a similar looking case (even an old receiver or anything really) and mount the water cooling stuff in that. Build a radiator into the back of that "component" that exhausts out the back, it should be extremely simple. Then just route the water lines through the back and into your htpc.
