Cheap liquid cooling, preferably AIO or air-conditioned with high heatsinks, three scenarios with three different budgets and one that offers three functionality according to the common law of each price.
Between an AIO with triple-radiators and excess liquid cooling used is the biggest issue today, and that is that prices have gone up so much that the average user doesn't know where to go.
Ten budgets and poor selection of nutrients
The biggest problem we can come up with is thinking that AIO's high performance and TOP range will do the same with less expensive custom cooling. The first one can do nothing against the second when we only talk about the CPU, but it is also true that there are other things to keep in mind.
The cheapest liquid cooling of the CPU for a series of more efficient than AIO, is true, but it can be safer than that. The problem we find in products such as Barrow or Byski is very simple: they try to copy the products of premium products and move their expertise to their own design, which is usually out of the process of testing, pressing and durability as others do.
Make no mistake, nobody gives a pen, and even though you save some production costs by owning factories or vendors in China, none of them can guarantee their products will have no problems in the future.
TOP manufacturers are investing in R&D and many wearables testing
Products like EKWB, Alphacool or Bitspower They take the tests they do with their products very seriously. Misused or incorrectly d istributed pressure, O-ring coating fluid and its materials, acrylic material that breaks due to excessive pressure on the ankle and we will have a good leak.
In addition, in the GPU blocks you have to pay attention to the amount of different height components and PCBs, anchors and chips to cool them. This is not part of R&D for a low-cost company, they simply copy, the most common thing in the country.
With all that being said, the forums are packed with people cheering for cool or inexpensive liquids cooling products as they have a variety of complaints.
So are they worth it for their price?
After nearly two decades in customized refrigeration, our idea is to say no, that is, we play the lottery with products that go from whole to three figures with no problem, but it takes one failure, one leak, so the PC can save trash or as a reminder.
We understand the worry that means this, you just have to see the face of an inexperienced user when you say the words PC and water, but that his fears are unfounded. Dielectric liquids with 99.999% Ultra water are less water, less commonly used, that less performance is less than a TOP product or costs less than half the price: the problem of low-quality products in ordinary refrigeration is their safety.
This has nothing to do with products like Xiaomi on smartphones, it's just a fact that the user should appreciate it, since it may not have problems with its liquid cooling equipment, but what is 100% sure it won't have the same functionality, far from it.
In this case he is the only one to check if you force him, because between this custom refrigerator and AIO TOP the difference is close, not equal, but probably not as much as expected, even though the safety isn't the same. This does not mean that the AIO TOP will not fail, far from it, but rather products that are fully tested and safe in mind.
In addition, many TOP RL models have lower pricing with similar features but lower performance, which may be a better option than newer low-end products.
