Custom Water Cooling & AIO Experts
Unlock the true potential of your high-end gaming rig. Whether you need a leak-proof Custom Hardline Loop for your RTX 4090 or a reliable AIO Installation for your Ryzen CPU, we are the thermal engineers you trust. Silence your build and lower your temps today.
Why Switch to Water Cooling?
Modern components like the Intel Core i9-14900K and NVIDIA RTX 40-Series GPUs operate at extreme temperatures. Traditional air coolers—basically chunks of metal with fans—struggle to dissipate this heat quickly enough. This leads to "Thermal Throttling," where your expensive hardware intentionally slows down to avoid melting.
The Liquid Advantage: Water has a specific heat capacity 4x higher than air. By transferring heat away from your components into a liquid loop and then through a large radiator, we can keep your CPU running at full boost clocks for hours, without your fans sounding like a jet engine.
At Leeds Computer & Laptop Repairs, we don't just "install" cooling; we engineer thermal solutions. We calculate radiator surface area, pump head pressure, and airflow static pressure to build a system that is whisper quiet.
Our Cooling Services
1. AIO (All-In-One) Installation
For 90% of gamers, an AIO is the perfect solution. It offers the benefits of water cooling with zero maintenance. We install units from Corsair, NZXT, Cooler Master, and Arctic. Crucially, we mount the radiator in the correct orientation (preventing air bubbles in the pump) and set custom fan curves in the BIOS so it runs silently at idle.
2. Custom Hardline Loops
The ultimate flex. We bend PETG, Acrylic, or Metal tubing by hand to create perfect 90-degree runs that match your case geometry. We use premium fittings (EKWB, Bitspower) and Distribution Plates to turn your PC into a showroom piece. This includes GPU water blocks, reducing graphics card temperatures by up to 30°C compared to stock air coolers.
3. Loop Maintenance & Flushing
already have a custom loop? Coolant degrades over time, becoming conductive or clogging blocks with "gunk." We provide a full Drain and Flush service. We disassemble your CPU and GPU blocks, scrub the micro-fins clean with a toothbrush, flush the radiators with distilled water, and refill with high-performance cryo-fuel.
Safety First approach
We know what you are thinking: "What if it leaks?"
Liquid inside expensive electronics is scary. That is why we follow a strict military-grade testing protocol for every build we touch.
- Air Pressure Testing: Before a single drop of liquid enters your system, we seal the loop and pressurize it with air. We monitor it for 30 minutes. If the pressure drops even 0.01 PSI, we find the loose fitting and fix it.
- 24-Hour Leak Test: Once filled, we run the pump (with the rest of the PC powered off) for 24 hours. We wrap every joint in water-reactive paper that changes color if it gets wet.
- Warranty: All our custom loop labor is backed by a 12-month leak-free guarantee.
Warning Signs
Your Loop needs service if:
- High Temps: CPU hitting 90°C+ instantly under load.
- Cloudy Fluid: Your clear coolant looks milky or yellow.
- Gurgling: Bubbling sounds mean air is trapped or coolant is low.
- Pump Noise: Grinding or clicking from the pump block.
Water Cooling FAQs
Expert answers for enthusiasts.
How often do I need maintenance?
For AIOs (All-In-Ones): Zero maintenance. They typically last 5-7 years before the pump fails. For Custom Loops: We recommend a flush and fluid change every 12 months. Opaque/Solid coolants ("Pastel" colors) may need changing every 6 months to prevent clogging.
Is custom cooling worth it?
For performance? An AIO gets you 90% of the way there for a fraction of the cost. A Custom Loop is for aesthetics, silence, and cooling extremely high-wattage GPUs (like the RTX 4090) that thermal throttle on air. It is a luxury upgrade.
Can you water cool my specific GPU?
Usually, yes. Water blocks are made for most "Reference" and major "AIB" (ASUS Strix, MSI Gaming) cards. We will check the compatibility of your specific PCB before ordering any parts. If no block exists, we can use a "Universal" block, though it looks less clean.
