Water cooling recomendations.

[alphase7en]

K guys, I want some links and stuff.

I wanna go water-cooled, but with a budget

$200 max for the case, $250 max for the water-cooling

I've been looking at thermaltake's water-cooling stuff, it looks pretty nice, but I really have no idea whats good and how to compare or anything.

Recommendations? go.

Have you considered building your own (DIY style) Watercooling system?

If so, you can build your own user DangerDen (DD) waterblock and WaterChill Radiator, which are very recommende.

Also Swiftech products (like mentioned above me, by dear Bio-Hazard) are good and well known.

The rest, which is: Fans, Tubings, Enclosure, it's up to you and your "taste".

Anyway, Good Luck, and feel free to ask more questions, regarding Watercooling, or anything else. :mrgreen:

I agree build you own kit and go w/ either Danger Den or Swifteck they are both good.... i have DD TDX and Maze4 GPU and i love them and they look great :D

I use mostly Swiftech components these days, but I've also used DD and PlarFlo with no complaints.

One of the great thing about the Swiftech kits is that is just a bunch of their best parts that work well together sold as a kit, so you won't forget of miss something you might need.................. :wink:

What CPU are you cooling? Intel or AMD? Here is my preference for a watercooling setup:


CPU Waterblock - Danger Den (Which model depends on your CPU)

Water Pump - Via Aqua 1300 with Silent Mod

Radiator - Innovatek Dual 120MM Fan Radiator (But this one should also be to how you want to fit it into your case)

Reservoir - Aluminum or if you can find one, Copper (Why use plexi? It's in insulator and doesn't help your system any except to hold water)

And if you have some money left over:

GPU Waterblock

Koolance Ram-30-V06 Dual Memory Cooler

Koolance Dual Hard Drive Cooler HD-55-L06

Well this is pretty much how my setup will be. I've done a bunch of research for the best cooling products out there and most of this stuff seems to fit the bill.

Hopefully this will help you out some.
