Im jumping on to watercooling after christmas, and i kinda want your opinion on these setups:

Swiftech MCW462U
Hayden(Swiftech) Radiator
Eheim 1048 pump (600litres pr hour)

or

DD Maze3
Blackice II radiator
Aquabee 1000 (1000litres pr hour)

I dunno if that Eheim pump will push enough water for me to add a GPU cooler later, but again Swiftech blocks are really good performers...

What do you think?

If you go with the swiftech setup, I would recommend a faster pump, such as the Eheim 1250, or something of comparable or better flowrates, since swiftech blocks are engineered to work best with high flow rates. A beefier pump will also allow you to add a GPU block with less performance losses. Also, make sure you get tygon or ClearFlex 60 tubing.

Try the new swiftech pump, the MCP300 rated at 330GPH.

Ill look into the pump thing, but it seems that the only pump they have at the shop where im buying the swiftech set is the Eheim 1048.

But you recommend the Swiftech set over the DD set ? Rads are about equal in performance.

Personally, I prefer Swiftech just because of overall build quality, but there's nothing wrong with DD either.

Argh, the Eheim 1250 is twice as expensive as the 1048 :(
