Basically just the CPU fan, case, and PSU (if you’re lucky). If someone can figure out how to get Doom running on just those 3 things, young people will be able to ascend.

Okay this will probably sound dumb, but has anyone ever tried to use this in tandem with a liquid cooling system?
What do you mean exactly?
Putting one of these on top of the liquid cooling block on a CPU, I live in a fairly hot area and thought it was a fun idea. Kind of like that guy that made his AC system cool his computer lol.
No idea what he’s on about, but now I’m imagining a loop running to like four NHD-15’s bolted to the top of a case. Like using those with waterblocks mounted to them instead of normal radiators.
Why? Fuck if I know, but it’d be funny
All the hassle and risk of running a complicated custom loop plus all the noise of a fan based cooler?! Sign me up!
I don’t think it would really be any louder than a normal water cooling setup, since you need fans on your radiators anyway. It would just be hideously inefficient compared to radiators, so higher temps. It would be adding like at least 4 thermal transfer boundaries, and heat pipes don’t really work until they get to their operating temperature. So best case scenario, it would probably run a couple degrees warmer than just regular air cooling.
