Conservation of Energy & Water Cooling ¿?

[shredisn@tdead]

OK this is prolly a stooopid question but I'm gonna ask it anyway...

DOES A WATER COOLED PC STILL HEAT UP YOUR ROOM LIKE AIR COOLING???

I was thinking that 'cos the specific heat capacity of water is higher than copper or aluminium then it'll take more energy to heat it up by 1oC - right?

Ergo the mass of water will hold more energy in it than an HSF..?

Does this mean less heat'll come off a water cooling rad than a HSF?

Physics never was my strongpoint...

It will take longer for the heat to be transfered to ambient, yes. But as watercooling will give you better temps, you should be able to nicely increase the wattage of your cpu, by overclocking, making your room nice and warm again
A hs/f will transfer the heat straight from hs to air, but usually heatsinks have a low C/W and therfore heat up quicker as they arnt capable of disipating the same amount of heat... or something like that..
