The title really says it all but anyway. This is my first build should i go with water cooling or Fan cooling i know fan cooling is easier? but water cooling is better? But anyway its my first build thanks!:D
 
are you going to be overclocking, and are you going to be doing a custom build on the watercooling, or buy a kit, if you're thinking about buying a kit, don't do it, as most are crap compared to air cooling

Im not going to be overclocking no i just want to get to grips with how to build a computer first but i was thinkig on second build maye putting watercooling in but then i thought why not just try it on first build? Ive not really looked into water cooling as such yet because it dint come acrss to me for a first build util now so should i just stick wih fan? would be more simple wouldnt it?:)
 
ya dude im on my first build and going w/ WC because i plan and want to OC as much as i possible can while still keeping decent temps, but if u dont plan on doing any OCing at all just get a heatsink
 
i dunno i pretty much just destroyed the computer lol, it was a cartridge type socket so i have no real idea, currently working on turning the actual cpu into a keychain, just have to get the rest of the solder off to make it safe, and delid the processor oh, and it took 1.9v to reach stock speeds lol

Ah! Google says it's supposed to be 1.3GHz. Anyway, I should rip the remaining pins off my old Sempron and turn it into a magnet or something...

I found an old Celeron and a motherboard in my basement, the Celeron is clocked at 500 mhz lol, and the FSB of the motherboard doesn't even have any cooling, it also only has PCI slots :P.

EDIT: It also has a Mitsubishi 3V lithium battery lol...
 
and the fan cooling is going to be a ton cheaper, im kind of scared what the final price of my WC kit is going to cost, 1 cpu, 2-3 GPUs and a chipset. but thats down the road, im going to start w/ my cpu and 1 gpu.
