    To pelt or not to pelt?

    I'm gonna be getting a water cooler soon to put in a modded lian-li pc75 case, and am having some second thoughts about my decision. I was going to get a Dangerden kit with blocks for the cpu, chipset, and vga, but am now wondering if going with the swiftech blocks with built in pelts will be better. I'm using air now on my 2100+ running 2388/2.05v with my temps 15/29 as I type this. My room is kept very cold and i'm looking for the best overclocking set-up for my cpu and the 9700 pro that will be set up with tweakmonster ramsinks as well as the block. If I use the blocks w/pelts, do I need to get anything additional to go with it? Thanks in advance for any help.

    Well, pelts are definitely going to need more prepping than normal watercooling, including neoprene and probably conformal coating, depending on the power of the pelt.
    But you'd do good to buy high performance parts so that you can upgrade to a pelt system easily, esp if you plan to add a pelt to the gfx card. That would create a lot of heat to be removed. Might not even work that good, what with the amount of heat a CPU pelt generates.
