is water cooling for the computer safe?

Do they still do that?  I remember in the 70's the main frames were water cooled.

Tar from smoke glues dust in the thermal module. It builds up and closes air cooling for CPU fan. And warranty repair can be refused. I don't know about other harm, but one is for sure - your laptop will need more cleaning too if you smoke.

heat is a big issue.  when the inside of your computer case is dirty the cooling system can't do its job properly. either take it to a reputable shop and have them clean it or go buy a can of compressed air, open the case and blow all the dust out of it taking care to get it all out of the louvres under the cpu fan. DO NOT use a vacuum! it creates a static electricity charge that can corrupt the components on your mother board. a static charge weaker than you can feel can and will destroy components.\nhope this helps

overheating is caused by your CPU running for long periods of time without adequate cooling. It should be fine.

Liquid air is being used for rapid cooling.

The need for a additional CPU cooling is dependent on the actual load you are putting on the CPU. Although it never hurts to overdo the cooling, the answer lies in tracking the temperature while the CPU is in use to determine if additional cooling is actually required.

Heat isn't a problem for computer equipment until it gets above ~160°F. Whether it's turned off or not doesn't make much difference to the silicon. Humidity, on the other hand, can make a mess of a computer quite fast.

Check your Cmos setup, if there is no setting for the fan, then i would not worry about it, it better to be cool than hot....It must be a Dell, just joking.....they have the most complaints....

Besides adding/reconfiguring fans, or removing/reapplying thermal paste to your processor,  I would STRONGLY advise using CPUidle.  This small program runs in the background and tells your computer to "relax" when you are not doing something on it, or are just using it to do basic things.  \nIt basically keeps your cpu occupied when it isn't doing power tasks and thus LOWERS the cpu temperature DRAMATICALLY!  I use it on both my desktop and notebook, cause remember, the lower the temp the longer life you will get out of your processor!  Try it!

Not looking at the specs...I'd say that is VERY high. You should look at cooling your computer case more. My CPU usually runs upper 90's. Letting your CPU run at that temp could burn it.

run cold water on it.\nby the way did you get my e-mail, my computer hasn't been acting right here lately.

Yes it is safe. It will not hurt your computer. I hibernate my laptop all the time. It save me a lot of time when I need to turn it on. The only thing is that if you are using a laptop it will drain your battery but if you are using a desktop you will be fine.

My friend that is a crucial part of a heat sink. It dissipates the heat from the processor to the heat sink.\nYou MUST provide some thermal compound, now that you have removed Intel's pre-approved thermal solution patch. You can purchase ( Artic Silver or even a generic brand)  at any local electronics store.\nGood luck !!!!!!

Before installing the water block, you will need to have the following parts to complete the installation.\n\n1) A Radiator suitable for computer water cooling.\n\n2) Fans for the Radiator.\n\n3) A Water Pump (aquarium or pond pump with a recommended minimum flow of 1.5 L/min at 1.5m head).\n\n4) A Reservoir (this is not essential if a closed system is being used. However, the user will require a T piece and length of pipe at the highest point in the system to purge air.).\n\n6) Six (6) Hose Clamps (nine (9) if using a closed system).\n\n7) Two (2) metres of Hose (3/8 or 1/2" internal diameter pipe depending on barb size).\n\n8) CPU Thermal Compound.\n\n\nStep 1 - Attaching Hose to Water Block\n\nAttach 2 x 1m lengths of hose (this will vary depending on the system) to each barb on the water block. Attach hose clamps and tighten (see Figure 1).\nFigure 1\nStep 2 - Testing Water Block for Leaks\n\nConnect one end of either water block hose to house tap. Purge all air from hoses and water block. Place thumb on open hose end to pressurise block. Check for water leaks around cooling block and hose connections. If hose connections leak, retighten hose clamps. If block leaks, return to place of purchase.\n\nStep 3 - Mounting Water Block to CPU\n\nPlace each triangle headed bolt through aluminium bracket holes. Place a spring over each thread and add washer and nut (screw nut down until level with top of thread - see Figure 2). Place small amount of thermal compound onto CPU (as per manufacturer's recommendations). Place water block onto CPU, ensuring that the CPU is in the centre of the cooling block and is not sitting on the CPU socket(inexperienced users should use a CPU shim to assist in installation). Place aluminium bracket over cooling block centre and connect the triangle headed bolts to the centre lug on each side of the processor socket (see Figure 3). Tighten nuts evenly (approximately 2mm at a time, alternating form one nut to the other) until springs are fully compressed. Check that there is clearance between the motherboard and triangle head.\n\nStep 4 - Completing Cooling System\n\nConnect the centre hose from the cooling block to the discharge of the pump. Connect the other water block hose to the radiator water intake. Connect radiator discharge and pump suction to reservoir, ensuring that the water level always remains higher than pump suction. For an inline system connect radiator water discharge to pump suction and install a T piece at the highest point within the system. Continue to add water at this point until all air is purged from the system. Once air is purged from the closed system, plug the T piece with an end cap.

With your Mac you really only need to follow what the last poster said and make sure that you leave space around your computer so that it can pull in fresh air.  There really isn't much you can add onto your actual computer to cool it without getting into trouble with your warranty, but your Mac was designed not to need additional components.

It an overheating warning. You need to clean the dust from your CPU cooler. Your PC shuts down to prevent damage. You can get a can of compressed air to help blow out the dust and you should also use a small fine brush. Avoid making the fan spin with the compressed air. Take care while inside your PC from static shock to board components by earthing yourself to the case frequently or using an antistatic wrist strap. Unplug the PC from the mains to prevent electrocution. Hope this helps, Good luck!
