Hey guys, I just finished building my comp, and I have opted to go with water-cooling. I have been looking at the Big Water kit, and with its reviews, I think its might what I go with. But I was also looking at the Swiftech kits. Price wise the Big Water would be better, but I could pay more for better quality. These are my system specs :
Case: Thermaltake A6000 Super Tower Silver/Red w/ 7 fans
Mobo: DFI LANParty UT 915P-T12
CPU: Intel 3.4 550 LGA CPU
RAM: GeIL Golden Dragon Dual Channel PC 32000 DDR RAM (512 x2); possibly GeIL DDR2 Performance RAM (512x2)
HDD: Maxtor 250GB 8MB 7200rpm
DRIVES: 52x24x52 CD+-RW Burner; DVD-ROM w/ Basic CD-ROM
PSU: Super Flower 550W 4 Green LED Fans
VIDEO CARD: X850 XT Platinum Editio 256MB *Booyah*
SOUND CARD: *not yet*
COOLING: Stock everything + 7 Fans in case.
I am open to any internal water cooling suggestions, although I am leaning towards a Swiftech or a BigWater. I really don't want to make a custom kit myself, even though it would cost less and everything. I just want to buy a kit thats all together and what-not. Also the prices should be around $150-$240.
For this setup, would a BigWater cooling kit be giving me good results. When I mean the "best water cooling kit" I mean I want a nice looking kit that will provide the lowests temperatures ( I want reasnable like 30C or something for load, not like -12C...) that is within my price range. From the reviews I have heard the Big Water is great, and since I am a happy Thermaltake buyer already, I would love to get that kit. I just was wondering if it would be good for this setup, because I love how it looks and from what I have read, performs. I would most likely buy the Water Tank, and Flow Indicator aswell when they come out.
Also if any of you own a Big Water kit, could you tell me how it is going, and if it was a good buy, compared to other cooling solutions? Sorry for all the questions, I just want to make sure I am making the right decision. If anything is unclear, or you need a differant system spec., post it, and I will attempt to answer the best I can. Thanks guys.
