Want a gaming PC that runs cooler, quieter, and looks like nothing you’ve ever seen from a retail store? LithGeek builds custom water cooled gaming PCs in Lithgow NSW — from basic AIO liquid cooling setups to full custom loop builds with coloured coolant and hard line tubing.
What Is a Water Cooled Gaming PC?
Water cooling (or liquid cooling) replaces traditional air heatsinks with a system that circulates coolant through your CPU and GPU, transferring heat to a radiator. The result: significantly lower temperatures, dramatically quieter operation, and — done right — a build that looks unlike anything else in a room.
There are two main types we build at LithGeek:
- AIO (All-in-One) liquid coolers — a self-contained unit with a pump, hoses, and radiator. Easier to install, great performance upgrade over air cooling, and a clean look. A smart step up for any mid-to-high-end build.
- Custom water cooling loops — fully bespoke systems with separate reservoir, pump, CPU and GPU water blocks, radiators, tubing, and coloured coolant. These are statement pieces — the most impressive-looking builds we make, and the best performers in the room.
Why Choose Water Cooling?
- 🌡️ Lower temperatures — keep your CPU and GPU cooler under load, which improves sustained performance and long-term component life
- 🔇 Significantly quieter — water cooling systems are much quieter than large air coolers under load; some custom loops are near-silent
- ✨ Stunning aesthetics — nothing looks like a custom water cooled build; coloured coolant, hard line tubing, and ARGB lighting create a machine that’s genuinely impressive to look at
- ⚡ Better overclocking headroom — cooler temps mean more room to push performance
Water Cooled Builds We Do at LithGeek
AIO Liquid Cooled Build (from ~$1,800)
We add a 240mm or 360mm AIO cooler to any of our standard custom builds. It’s a clean, reliable upgrade that gives you noticeably lower CPU temps and a sleeker look than a large air tower. This is the sweet spot for most gamers who want the thermal and aesthetic benefit without the complexity of a full custom loop.
Full Custom Water Cooling Loop (from ~$2,800+)
This is the serious build. We design and build a full custom loop covering your CPU and GPU, with your choice of coolant colour, tubing style (hard line or soft), radiator configuration, reservoir placement, and case. Every component is matched for flow rate and thermal performance. These builds take longer and cost more — but the result is something you won’t find anywhere else in the region.
If you’ve seen a stunning gaming PC on YouTube or Reddit and thought “I want that” — this is how you get it.
