W/C ambient temp question
When running a W/C setup how much role does ambient room temps affect W/C
__________________I want to be able to keep my room temps at around 25c right now Im running on air and whenever my room temps get around 25c obviously my cpu temps go sky high.would moving to W/C solve that?

a lot, it's the basis for your temps.
25c is doable, but more on the warm end obviously. what temps are you getting now? yes, water would solve that

No,
You are still dissipating the heat with a radiator that is cooled by your ambient air, so it makes no difference... Unlesss... You put your raditor in another room or outside, seen that done several times. The other advantage to that is isolating the noise from the room your sitting in, I've seen several examples of that...

so if I can keep my room temp to 25c or lower I can essentially benefit with w/c instead of air, right now with the zalman 9700 I can get 33c give or take with my OC

You will benefit either way
Any decent loop will easily surpass air.

Think of it as a difference between load & ambient temps. Pretend water cooling gets you 15C load above your ambient temps. So if your ambients are 30C then you're loading at 45C. If it's a cold day with 20C ambients, expect to load at 35C.
So yes ambients play an essential role in your load temps. Big question, does the change in ambients affect the difference between load & ambients? In my experience... no. So if you're difference in ambient & load is 12C, it'll be 12C no matter what... within reason that is.

transonic is right wc takes the temps off the top meaning the load temps will decrease more noticeably then idle temps
