SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the length of 3/8 inch diameter copper tubing required to cool 2000ml of water from 80 degrees Celsius to ambient room temperature of 20 degrees Celsius. With a heat dissipation requirement of 500W and a flow rate of 0.13 liters per minute, approximately 70 meters of copper tubing is necessary to achieve the desired cooling effect. This calculation is crucial for designing an effective custom PC water cooling system.
