I plan on building a crazy good PC in the future... I was wondering if you get water cooling (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835118015) do you need any fans? There will be water blocks on the CPU and graphics cards (2 nvidia 8800 ultras).
DIY all I can say. Gives you a bit more of a flexible setup in the future should you decide to swap parts too FYI. basically modded DDC pump or D5 a few PA 120s or MCR 120/220/320s Dtek fuzion CPU block,or apogee GT stuff like that is generally the popular stuff in the watercooling crowd
So you still didn't answer my question. If I was to buy and install that cooling system that I linked, would that be enough to keep my computer and all the parts inside cool?
buying a prebuilt watercooling kit is a bad idea........they are generally no better than good-high end air cooling like xlink said you should buy seperate parts and you can get TONS better performance modded DDC pump or D5 a few PA 120s or MCR 120/220/320s Dtek fuzion CPU block,or apogee GT no prebuilt kits
you could but it would run very hot, someone on newegg said that thier QX6700 ran at 83C at load with nothing else in the loop. Id go with Thermochill 120.3 PA Swiftech MCP 655 Pump D-Tek Fuzion or Swiftech Apogee GTX (id go look for the new bowed version) 3 Silent Yate Loon Fans Artic Silver MX-2 All of that found at www.petrastechshop.com . If you wanted to cool the gpus id get a EK Full Coverage waterblock over dangerden and swiftech
if you want all the effort taken out of picking parts http://www.petrastechshop.com/pecosliel.html that would likely be perfect for you. Includes everything, blocks for a CPU, two blocks for the video cards and everything predone more or less. I'd still advise doing a bit of research on the matter though. Water is one of those things where you need to at the very least have some knowlege of what you're doing, otherwise stick to highend air. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=75873 http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=54331 http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=119699 FYI, paradox, the Swiftech MCP 655 Pump, is made by laing and redistributed by swiftech. that said, any laing D5 pump works the same be it from danger den or elsewhere or is called by any other name.
