sethook Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 I haven't done any liquid cooling myself so will hesitate from making any suggestions on systems. You're best bet is to take your time and look for as much info as you can find via Google or OCing/modding sites.Here are a few site to wet your appetite and get you going.#1#2#3#4Hopefully someone will pop in to this thread who has some experience in the subject and can give you some good info/suggestions. Good luck and have fun with your new project. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
murtu52 Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 I haven't done any liquid cooling myself either, but I'm kinda familiar with it...Liquid cooling, from what I've heard, can be hard to install, but I don't think you need to take apart your computer. For prices, I'm not an expert on that either, but for some reason $100-$200 come to mind (don't take my word for it, though, i'm not an expert ). Also, good luck! Its a good way to learn about the cooling process. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xxkbxx Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 So, I think I might try and get some PayPal donations to my website tutorial on building a computer with water cooling.I'm sure I can pull in $2000 across the World Wide Web, take a bunch of pictures, and set up a website tutorial/guide In my dreams...

Sir_Siddy Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 (edited) frank are you just planning to cool your CPU? If you are the watergate mini R80 is good. Make sure you have lots of room in your case. It barely fits in mine. The radiator is kind of big.EditWhen I said make sure there is lots of room I ment is your cpu far enough away from the case. My radiator is pushing up against the pump wich lies ontop of the cpu. It just barely fits. Edited January 21, 2006 by Sir_Siddy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
