Water Cooling

[Dragon]

Where a good place to buy a preassembled kit? i dont wanna buy a whole case....

swifttech makes good kits

[Dragon]

cool. no pun intended.

whats the chance of one of these "oopsing" ive got a friend who custom built a kit and went through 4 video cards - his error or thiers?

[Jason425]

probably his.. but i'm no water cooling expert..

Definatly his. I installed a Swiftech block on my system (video and cpu) and if you don't install the block right, or put thermal grease on there properly, you'll burn it up.

mmmmmmmmmmm burning chips...

chance of oopsing isnt that big
the thing about watercooling is you need a big case if you are putting somehting inside

components are expensive too
the only think that i see worth paying for is the pump and the blocks
as for the rad, i would go for a heatercore instead and get it from a junkyard for cheap or even free as long as it doesnt leak

heatercores can be big though and hard to mount inside a case
im planning to do some surgeries to my case if i can get my hands on a heatercore
perhaps do my own external kit but it would be non removeable and attached to the case itself

i took a look at the swiftech kits - soon as i get the money...

thx guys
