Hi, I saw one on the above cards going cheap, I was wondering what the (cheapish) cooling option are. Can I get a bit fan (quiet) cooler or do I have to go for liquid cooling (bit nervous about liquid cooling). What reasonably priced ones do people recommend (air and liquid)?

The hydro copper is designed to use water (liquid) cooling. You would need a liquid cooling resevoir, a radiator, and pump. If you wanted to also cool the CPU you would need a water circulating heatsink for the CPU. If you are nervous about liquid cooling this is not for you.

Isnt everybody a bit nervous to start out;). I have been building air cooled quiet PCs for years so its only the electricity/water thing that gets me thinking. For just the GPU are there any kits you recommend?
