Attention !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd like to see someone update the first post. This is a great thread for newbies. It seems like this is a big year for water cooling. This is the best computer site on the web.

Does anyone know of a good WC supplier in Ireland with a Bricks and Mortar shop?

Why aren't reservoirs mentioned? I'd find it quite informative to have a blurb about the point of having a reservoir, it's + and -'s as well as things to look out for and things that are a no go?

yeah, I second that motion. With the amount of informative information that pops up every week or so, the sticky could use with a nice update.

NEwbi here that needs some help please

I am building a new rig consisting of cpu: qx9650 or 9770 going to O.C. to 4.5 ghz, mobo: evga-790i ultra, gpu: evga-9800gx2 SSC. I want to liquid cool the cpu, gpu and have the ability to cool the memory and chipset at a later date (only have to buy the blocks). I have not used liquid cooling before so I was wondering on what parts to buy for my gpu block and the rest of the set up (cost is not an issue just top performance). I have been looking for a couple weeks now and have found some stuff, but got a little confused on what to get after reading these threads.:shrug:

sorry man but none of those canned LC systems are any good.

the best one is the swiftech apogee-drive kit, although I'm not sure if it's available where you are...

yes and its not hard, get an mcp 355 a dtek v2 and then pick a rad (u can do a 120MM or 240MM without modding depending on the case)

what case do u have, and make sure that u have no aluminum at all, even fittings

Read about galvanic corrosion. With copper and aluminum and an electrically conductive medium (water), aluminum will corrode.

depending on your case since it looks like u dont wasnt to mod sells u what rad u can fit, u could do a swiftec mcr 220 with that at the back without modding, so if u wanted u could do a tline an apogy gt drive and an mcr 220 and u would have a drop in system that would be the same as installing a kit if not easier

and petras also ships any ware if u email them

With 300 you can get a pretty good system. If you're not a performance freak, you can get the OCZ cpu block for around 40. A MCR220 is about 50. A DDC pump is about 70 and a good top, like the XSPC which is a favourite is about 20. A switftec micro-res is another 20. cooling your vga card is an investment - can run anywhere from 50 bucks to 180, depending on model and if you want a full cover block or not. without the VGA block, you're talking about 200 US. tack on some tubing, fittings and shipping, and i think you'll be under those 300. it all depends what you want as far as performance, what you want to cool and how flexible that budget is.

Hmm I dont know what prices are like in italy, but I would imagine you'll be better with an OCZ hydroflow if your going for cheap.

You'll probably have to buy a replacement top for either of them (maybe not the D5), and either will perform fine.

I have the DDC Ultra (DDC3.2) and it's great.

OK, maybe i will buy an Alphacool Laing DDC-Pump 12V Ultra Water Tank, so I don't have to buy a reservoir

now I want to buy a radiator, I confuse to choose:
Thermochill PA120.3
or
Feser Xchanger Quad 480 Extreme
or
Feser Xchanger Triple 360 Extreme

any chance for an update with:
Swiftech MCW60-R2
D-TEK FuZion GFX 2
Swiftech Apogee™ GTZ
D-TEK FuZion v2
im guessing the list is sorted in order of performance from highest to lowest
