My point here is that if it's a heat exchange system, one of the components in the system is going to build up some heat, that component is usually meant to be stored outside of the case so that it's not adding heat to the system. That's why refrigerators and A/C units have a part that needs to be outside, or have a ducting that runs outside. Otherwise they'd be wasting their energy trying to cool the air that they just heated up.

Yes/No??


Refrigerators and freezers work on a phase change principle, which can be done on a computer, but its not what he's doing. This is just cooling down the water with a radiator/fan combo as it flows through, similar to a car. If the radiator is in the case, yes, it realeases some hot air into the car, but your exhaust fans take car of that. The primary purpose is to cool down the actual CPU so you can push it further.
