Water Cooling

[Broadsword]

I'm thinkin about gettin a 3.06, what is the best complete water cooling kit I could get? I've been lookin at the swiftech, but I dont know anything about water cooling really. I need one that has CPU, GPU, Northwood, and HDD (if thats even available). Do any of you have any experience with water cooling? Should I just stick with my Swiftech 4000 fan but upgrade it to an 80mm ultra-high flow fan? Its supposed to support 3Ghz, but i'm planning on overclocking it a little bit and I dont want it burnin out on me Suggestions?

cpu gpu and northwood, the northwood is the cpu and if u wanna cool the cpu vidcard and hdd i'd recomend 2 separate watercooling setups, 1 for cpu and hdd and the 2nd for the gpu alone.


if ur gonna look at kits only then i'd say stick with ur mx4000

i like the maze4 waterblocks at www.dangerden.com


eheim 600GPH pump

black ice radiator

120mm fan, look for at least 100cfms


i dont know whats considered good for gpu blocks and as for hdd cooling it looks too expensive unless ur running an IBM drive lol

dont thing the above is enough for cpu and gpu together not even sure if it would with 2 rads, nedjesk or whatever the guys name on here is should have some more info for ya.

I dont really understand watercooling when theres still a lot of noise in the system..

100 cfm+ fans?? jebus, thatll be loud.

i would suggest a dual circuit cooling solution. 1 circiut for the cpu/north and the other with gpu/hdd( what kind of hdd??scsi or ATA).i havent used hdd cooling so i dont know how it actually performs and i doubt it add too much heat to the system. if u cool gpu i would also cool gpu ram.

what yard suggested for the system parts will do good, i would suggest a black ice extreme radiator

as for the block i like danger den products and they have the good customer service, ive heard of some other good blocks but i cant member the name, there was this really good one i read about at www.overclockers.com i would suggest you make your way over there and start reading

you could stick with air cooling but that would only hold you back.


mehmet, the fans may be +100cfm but u have to realize that they are 120MM not 80 or 60MM, they dont spin at outrageous rpm's. dont get me wrong i have 2 131cfm ys-techs on my radiators and they are loud if i let them have full voltage, they are also on the outside on my box.
