Has anyone tried using this for PC Liquid cooling inside of a case?

I use mine to cool my beer fermenter. 1/2" lines with cooler box as reservoir and aquarium pump around 8 liters of fluid in the cooling Cct. The fermenter is jacketed. Works very well, i can control easily from 10 -20 degrees C no problem with ambient at around 30. The noise of the Unit is decernable at night but nothing extreme. Yes you can use it, and in case any one is interested yes the beer tastes great !

Sure. In a 512 core iCube with 32 Tesla graphics cards. - The "case" being a small room.

Uhh, this thing is for cooling large volumes of water. It is way more intense than what is needed for a single PC. Maybe if you were running 1/2" lines through multiple giant servers you would need a unit like this.

It would have similar effect inside the case like my 7950 because it would also blow the heat back into the case. My case has the proper airflow to handle it, but I did not want that again and wanted to see how the EVGA reference cooler performed with all this power which is very impressive to me just like most of the web reviews said to be. If I really wanted to cool a hot video card to overclock it to its limits, I might as well go with a water cooling solution. And besides, if I go SLI with 2 of them it is ideal to use the blower type cooler anyway.

I have two of these on my case cooling a fx8350 cpu and have never had an issue.

Depending on the Temp in your home/office. I actually have my computer in one corner of my house that gets pretty warm and my Cooler Master V8 never has a problem. I would say use liquid cooling if you have a small airless environment with a small case that has few places (vent areas on the case) to put fans. Otherwise, air cooling is easier to install/replace and will cool things down just fine.

Not likely. The case has mounting brackets in place for two 120mm fans, but the add-on of a liquid cooling system would likely infringe on the space necessary for the MOBO that hold rather tightly to the top of the system (needed because it is a mid tower case and you have to fit you power supply on the bottom).

I have a regular NZXT case and I was using the ARCTIC Hybrid with a Noctua CPU air cooler and I had not problem at all. There was enough room between the video card and the cooler. I also had room for a liquid CPU cooler if I wanted.

I doubt it more for cooling computers,cable boxes needs a usb connector for power so I'd say no

I have but I also put a volcano in the thing. I have an overclocked FX-8350 and 2 Radeon R9-290x cards in here, they are also watercooled. I had to rip the foam out of the front and top panels to get the extra airflow. Everything is fine now. You also may not have to do this depending on what hardware you're using, I basically packed as much heat as I could in to this case so if you're using more reasonable components you should be fine.

Of course you can use it as a case fan, but this fan is designed for very high reliability applications. I use two of them on my CPU cooler. You can get much cheaper fans for the case where a failure will not be a serious problem and replacement is usually easy.

I've tried liquid cooling once and though it did bring down the temps by about 8 degrees C, I did not notice an appreciable increase in performance over a good cooler like the V8. Because I was always concerned about fluid levels and leaks, I abandoned liquid cooling and went back to air.

Yes. This is an improved thermal design which isolates the power supply's airflow from the rest of the computer components. The power supply will pull cool air in through the bottom vents and blow warm air out the back of the case. This prevents the dust and heat from inside the computer from passing through the power supply.

Most suitable. It's high static pressure make it perfect for blowing through heat sinks and radiators. Though I wouldn't use the silent adapter for it if you're using it on the 212. I would think you would want the entirety of the fans cooling performance at your disposal when tasked to cool down your CPU.

Only if you have decent airflow in the case. It is a really tiny fan and it doesn't move much air. If you have great airflow in the case which encompasses the cpu region, then you should be fine.

I have this case and I have an Asus P8Z77-V full size ATX motherboard (12in x 9.6 in) and a full 240 mm water cooling radiator mounted on the top. I used 2 -120mm x 1in wide fans on the top mounted radiator and the fit was tight, but it works great. I mounted the pump in a section of the lower hard drive cage that I removed. I also have a 120 mm case fan on the back and there seems to be ample room for that size of a radiator there if you so choose.

Mr Crosby, Although I used liquid cooling I don't think it matters as long as it's compatible with the sized processor you plan to use. Keep this in mind... I had to return two of these boards before getting on that worked correct. It's fast and worth the wight, but just wanted you to be aware. Good luck!

Boy, there are a lot of variables there!!! I'm on a MSI motherboard with liquid cooling and have no problems. The RAM isn't all that tall. I am making a guess but it should work...that is a very popular cooler.

I wouldn't try it. Get the Corsair Air 540. It's a breeze to work with and easy to keep cool.
