Hi, I live in So Cal and at the moment, my computer gives off too much heat which turns my room into an oven. I would like to do a full water cooled system but I don't have the money and I already own a h100i. I think that the NZXT G10 would fit my needs since I have an old Corsair H70 cooler.

Now, I'm wondering if my H70 would fit on the G10 because it is not on the compatibility list on NZXT's website, but the cooler looks the same as the H75 and H50. Also I would like to know if there are any guides on putting heatsinks on the vrms on the GPU because I read that the G10 does not do a very good job at cooling the vrms.

Any input would be appreciated and thank you!
 
Solution
Your system makes X amount of heat. Removing the heat with an air cooler or a watercooler will make no difference since you will still be re-radiating it in your room.

Perhaps you should find a way to remove the heat from your room.

No. the heat is still generated, however the heat is transferred to the liquid which is a larger body and takes more time to heat up. Then the radiator runs air across its fins, and the heat is transferred into the air. That is why it runs cooler.
