Spec me a Water cooling system...

BoB3rt · 14 Apr 2008 at 02:59

am not being lazy... am just not sure which is good nor bad.

I need to do sum reading before i do this but i am upgrading to water cooled as i am going to be clocking my CPU.

so any recommendations off a decent kit at a decent price...oviously willing to buy parts separate. ??

cheers

siberean tiger kit,just cpu,ready to install ,takes 10 minutes,£80.

That siberian tiger kit (for what it is) is no more modular than a aircooled heatsink. If you ever want to upgrade or add GPU into the loop you can't.

Most people on here would recommend nothing less than THIS

or maybe google for "Extreme CPU Watercooling kit (PA120.2)" for more performance.

buy expensive, buy once: buy cheap, buy twice.

yeah thats quiet good... but i myt want to cool my GFx card(s) at a later date...

yes that one i was looking at... seems the best for price as i didnt want much over £150.

1 x Swiftech Apogee GT Extreme Performance CPU waterblock
1 x Black Ice GT Stealth I
1 x D-Tek dB-1 Compact 12v Pump - Ultra Quiet
1 x Swiftech MCRES-Micro
6 x Masterkleer 7/16" ID (5/8" OD) PVC Tubing
8 x 12mm Hoseclip
1 x G11 Coolant (Corrosion Inhibitor) 50ml
1 x YATE LOON 120mm - D12SL-12

you can get al this in a kit for 120 quid (elsewhere tho)

^^^^^^^^^^

That is the kit i am going for when i upgrade to Water Cooling later this month but am going to switch to a D-Tek Fuzion block

Should lower me temps somewhat!

A bigger rad if you can fit it will make more differance though!!

^^^^^
I concure, get as big radiator as you can, and even if you have to get a 120.1 or 120.2 the go for the Thermochill PA. The Black Ice GT Stealth is not brilliant, it's the only advantage is its slimline size. I got it a few years ago and it's just OK but i'm getting a PA 120.3 now as i've added more blocks to my loop and need something more powerful.

Swap the Apogee for a D-tek Fuzion (you'll need it for a Q6600) and the rad for a 240mm (120.2) one. The GT Stealth is a bit thin, so either a Swiftech MCR220 or a Thermochill PA120.2.

Got one of those kits today that F1ZZY linked to

Easy to install and my temps are nice n low again (just used the 12v to 7v leads and now she's silent and not really any change in temps)

You could get that kit and then at a later date add to it i guess (as said if you're gonna be cooling every chip move up to larger rad)

Good for the money, Easy to install, And it works

Mines in a lian-li PC-G70 so loadsa room and rads sat nice on the rear

I had hunted around for parts to make my own kit up but with deliveries from allover the place and bits out of stock i went for that kit as it's less hastle

No doubt you'll be thrilled with the temps whatever you decide

Ciao
