any liquid cooling kits?

just a noob · 02-09-2008, 01:07 PM

im looking for liquid cooling kits for an upcoming build possibly. if im going to cool a graphics card how do i go about that, should i just buy one that comes with the liquid cooling attached? should i buy something and put that on myself?

well, alot of that depends of your system.

how much money your willing to spend.

how much space you have in your case (even if you want an internal system).

what do you want to cool? just your GPU and CPU?

check out places like xoxide, forzen cpu, and new egg to look at some items, like complete kits or peice by peice purchases.

xoxide and frozen cpu are quite expensive

go to petra's shop

like LCS said, budget, space and what you're going to cool are all needed for us to help you.

depends if its going to be internal it gunna probably be stuffed into a 5.25 inch bay or whatever they are looking for both cpu gpu intel 775 set $500 or below would be decent, edit: what else could i cool?

haha......it starts. welcome to the club! lol

RAM, northbridge, southbridge, voltage regulator, hard drive, psychics card, VGA RAM (only certain models are available for that), multiple GPU's.... yea, its pretty insane, but CPU and GPU are the most popular.

$500.....well thats pretty good, not a bad setup can be bought for that money, but for that money i think it would be kind of a waste to put the system in a 5 1/4 bay IMO, because of accessibility issues but thats just my opinion.

so if it wasn't a bay-system, what space are we looking at? full tower? mid tower? laptop? hehe JP

ill shop around though.

I'd do a custom system for that $$$

Pump $100
Rad $50-$75
CPU block $50
GPU block $100

umm is antec nine hundred full tower? what kind of a pump? im thinking hardware labs for the radiator probably happen towards the beginning of '09 because i somehow accumulated almost 1000 dollars in a 3 months strech between my birthday and christmas edit: whats a good hard drive cooler? i dont feel like water cooling my ram, id probably break a stick of ram if i tried taking the heat sink off. what exactly does a physics card do? whats a good block for the north bridge on the 780i? thats a lot of questions lol

1. No it isn't
2. D5
3. Water or air for the HDD cooling
4. Don't get a physics card, only 2-3 games can use it
5. ??? I'd have to look

just a noob · 02-10-2008, 09:35 PM

most likely water for the hdd cooling would be the raptor 10k 150gb if i were to cool that

The_Beast · 02-11-2008, 09:50 PM

water cooling a HDD in most peoples eyes is a waste

it's just an extra restriction, + doesn't really do much
