Watercooling

[ethanmcf]

Hello

what Water cooling system do you Recommed for Over clocking my system.

or what Extreme Air Cooling system.

i dont want it to cost too much, if possible, i have never worked with these before.

But i want to cool my 2 Nvidia 6800 GS Cards,

my AMD Athlong Dual core 4800+ 939 Pin CPU,

my nForce 4 Chipset, and also my memory, DDR of course

(the chipset might be hard, because my GPUs cover over the fan )

Any help would be great thanks, Ethan

Could help if you would tell us how much you like to spend? There are kits from 70 US$ or so and up .

[ethanmcf]

well in Pounds about £150 Max, if this is too low let me know

so i dont know about $200 USD lol

Thanks

Ethan,(sorry i fogot to meantion that)

If you want to cool all, then a kit will not do, not even 2 kits. So, you will have to go with separated parts witch makes it also more fun .

Then there are more questions:

- You like an internal or an external radiator? Fan less perhaps?

- What brand of case do you have or are you going to buy?

- Are you using a side window or so?

[ethanmcf]

right, this is what i got

currently

a jantech Aqua Case, which is ATX of course,

with a Side Panel,

i would prefer a Internal one, but it wont fit in my case

a Fan is not a problem, ive lived with fans all my computer life, like currently i got like 8 fans on my PC lol

i dont really want to buy a new case, cos ive just bought this one,

ok, how bout Just CPU

because i want to over clock my beast

Thanks

Before we are going to post more : Any idea where you are going to buy it? Online shop? Any link? (yeah I know, what a questions ...

[ethanmcf]

well prefrably a online shop

cheaper lol

erm i dont have a link sorry, ive never ever looked at this sort of thing before, but i really want water cooling yay lol

[puntoMX]

I like to buy at PC-Cooling.de, Link for Water-cooling parts.

They have good products, description (also in English ) and nice pics.

[ethanmcf]

i dont actually know what im looking for though

[ethanmcf]

i was suggested to visit http://www.overclockers.co.uk

but again, i dont know what im looking for, and it looks expensive

[puntoMX]

Make your own kit:

- Radiator with 2 or 3 12cm fans

- Pump

- Hoses and clips

- Liquid, not just plain water

- Resevoir

- And the cooling blocks; CPU, GPU and chipset for example

The pump is for me always the most important part; it must be the most reliable part of your system. Some external radiators have build in pumps; look at the Zalman for example.

I see also that the site you gave me doesn’t offer so much, well, they have pictures but nothing in stock . You are going to pay fleet-cost any way so why don’t you get it outside the UK? Just make sure the pump is 115volts and there you go .

And remember that you have to drill and kut in your case most of the time!

dude im 230V, is that a problem?

[ripken204]

you sure u can handle watercooling? it can be dangerous if you get a leak or dont change ur water. im not trying to scare you. if you are used to air then why not just use better aircooling?

[puntoMX]

dude im 230V, is that a problem?

Ow, I thought they used 115V too in the UK

[ethanmcf]

again, im looking to over clock, and yes i am scared to be honest, because its not a cheap system lol

i dont know what air cooling to get,

cos its a AMD 4800+ Dual Core Chip

its only running at 2.41Ghz

lol

Any ideas on the best soultion for me then?

Thanks

Ethan
