PeterStoba Posted September 27, 2008 Posted September 27, 2008 cooling the sb is really not too important and the nb is generally ok on a good air cooler or even stock. If you really were trying for max OC/s then i'd wc the nb but i dont deem it neccesary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mishkin Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 I suggest 7/16 tubing and heat the ends in boiled water to get them onto the fittings... leaks suck (I went 1/2 inch and regret it, had lots of leak issues) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would he want to cool his GPU? Well, gpu coolers are pretty loud and suck at cooling, even though they do the job. And since he's got a GX2 I'd say its a good idea, they get really hot and are really loud (so I'm told ). Yes he could get by quite well with air cooling, but watercooling is both quieter and more effective. Plus he could overclock his GPU more. And nowadays people don't usually use water in watercooling. You can get coolants that are just as good as water at heat conduction but also do not conduct electricity. And if you do use water, then it will likely be distilled, which also does not conduct electricity (learned that in chemistry today ). So uhh.. yeah... get watercooling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queenz Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 First off don't get a reservoir, it's a waste of space and time. Use a fillport instead. Here is a better list than the one you chose and will perform alot better. D-TEK FuZion v2 Universal CPU Waterblock - 1/2" Swiftech MCR-320 "Quiet Power" Series Radiator - Black Laing D5 Vario/Swiftech MCP655 Inline 12V DC Pump *Sale* Tygon R3603 7/16in. ID 5/8in. OD Laboratory Tubing # AAC00033 Danger Den Acetal T-Fitting Petra's Tech includes (2x) 1/4" NPSM, 1/2" OD Threaded Hose Barbs (for 1/2" and 7/16" ID Tubing) at no extra charge. A 5/8 ID tubing will give you a tighter fit on those 1/2 barbs, so thats why I chose them for you. The swiftech radiator is good but if you want the best get a thermochill radiator. Anything less than this and your not settling for the best Also your going to need a radbox to mount the radiator to the outside of the case: Swiftech MCB-120 "Radbox" Radiator/Fan Housing Rev. 2 - Black The only thing left to choose is what kind of coolant you want. I do recommend Feser or Pentosin, both are very good. I really don't know what color you want thats why. Don't bother with the chipsets and vga, most are okay on air Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
