kingdingeling Posted May 13, 2007 Posted May 13, 2007 If you want it LAN friendly, I would recommend air cooling actually, something like a Thermalright SI-128 should work well for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireonice Posted May 13, 2007 Posted May 13, 2007 Are you going water cooling because of its cooling capabilitys or beucase its quiter? If your going that route because of its performance than i would stay clear of Tt and get an air cooler from Thermalright (one of the new big ones :D there monsterous but cool like no other) and be just as quite or if not quiter. Yes you could probably fit the bigwater in your case (with a little work and you mighit loose some of your bottem harddrive space) but i dont see the point unless you really want a water cooling setup. If thats the reason i'm going to let one of the forum members who acually knows more about water cooling to give you some advice. You also said you would like to keep your PC lan party friendly. I wouldnt concider water to be the most lan party friendly but i wouldnt see a problem with it sence with that kit everything is inside your case. Air just seems like a better choice to be if your going to be bringing your baby to gaming events, i mean you wouldnt want that water to leak out everwere and possibly damage your parts.

Medalforces Posted May 13, 2007 Posted May 13, 2007 (edited) the reason i am looking at it is because i got told it was a better way to keep your pc cool but i don't know i have not gotten a new pc for like 6 years so :S I'm running OLD stuff www.xfire.com/profile/peoplwyk Intel P4 2.8Ghz Single core 1Gb of ddr ram 3200 kingsten 240Gbs of hradrive space IDE FX5700 and so on Edited May 13, 2007 by Medalforces Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireonice Posted May 13, 2007 Posted May 13, 2007 Then air would be your best bet . The cooler that king said is good. Or some of the other new thermaltake heatsinks for your cpu, most of them are all backwards compatable with all sockets. You play grand theft auto on that setup!!! i think i would die Your new setup looks nice but i dont like the Tt power supply even thou the new ones did get good reviews its just a brand that i like to stick away from, they should just keep to cases . Enermax is good thou, but i guess im just a little bit of a enermax psu fanboy http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2007/05/1...su_group_test/1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medalforces Posted May 13, 2007 Posted May 13, 2007 (edited) You play grand theft auto on that setup!!! i think i would die lol Don't bag my PC its done a very good job and grand theft auto dose not lag or anything with it its still good i play MP a lot SANADREAS www.sa-mp.com Vice city www.vicecitymultiplayer.com :S After My PC got sick iv been playing that more because its the only thing that works ATM yeah im a bit worryed now if the water cooling did leak in my pc :S hmm Edited May 13, 2007 by Medalforces Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMeeD Posted May 13, 2007 Posted May 13, 2007 If youve got the budget TEC might be something to experiment with, but aircooling should work just fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
weldzilla Posted May 13, 2007 Posted May 13, 2007 you know with the pieces you are assembling, you could run your machine at stock and the vid card too and probably have one of the fastest best gaming systems at any party!! Now I an a water cooling guy. I believe it to be superior to air in every way. I remember when guys were worried about liquid cooling on motorcycles. now there is liquid cooling on and off raod both!! it is better. But, in your case as you want to be mobile your machine will be easier to lug around minus a liquid cooler. If you put it together with any good sense at all you won't have to worry about leaking on parts. I have been lquid cooling for over 6 years I have never had a problem of any kind. My system gets lugged around to schools, churches, nursing homes and a few computer events here locally it's been featured and demo'd all over the place. The paint has taken a beating but it has never leaked. Still, A good air cooler may well be your best bet. A good liquid cooler on a screaming fast computer does get it's share of attention but it requires great wire management and keeping everything neat and clean cuz people will spend a lot of time gazing through your side window. If it don't look good they will let you know!! You see there is much to consider when you are buildiung a system that will leaves the house...............By the way my case is freakin heavy!!!

kingdingeling Posted May 13, 2007 Posted May 13, 2007 looks like a great rig, enjoy! :thumbs-up: however, I would go for a EVGA 8800GTX over a XFX one, as EVGA has by far the superior service! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
