I'm new to this whole computer thing and liquid cooling stuff. I saw that there are all in one radiator fans would that mean I have to get a pump reservoir and all that? Also what radiator would you recommend? :??:
 
Solution
The all in one (AIO) kits are just that, all the stuff you need in one kit. While custom loops (where you buy your own pump and what not) will usually be better, they cost more and require more knowledge to get in to.

As for which one to look at, what case do you have? That's going to determine what size AIO you can go with.

Oh okay, and yeah I figured they would cost more and most likely run better but this will be my first build.
As for the case I'm thinking of getting this, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16811146223 still not sure on what version or if that's gonna be the case. It most likely will be though.
 
The H440 is an awesome case. If it's in your budget, go for the NZXT X61 or X62. Great cooler, large 280mm radiator so its good for overclocking. It's very easy to install in that case as well. If you end up wanting to bling out your case with LED kits, NZXT uses the same software for their AIOs as well as for their LED case kits, so its all integrated.

Would you recommend getting the NZXT X61 or X62 even if I don't want to over clock but keep everything cool? Oh really now, that'll be sweet!
 


If your not overclocking, you don't really need to go with water cooling. Even if you are overclocking you could go with a big air cooler for less money. That being said if your going for it purely for looks, I personally think the X62 looks better but it may be hard to get a hold of since it just launched.

Also the Swiftech water coolers have good reviews and look pretty good. You can even inject color in to them, however they are a bit more upkeep than the normal AIOs.

The H440 will fit a 360mm (3x120mm) radiator so you have some room to play with things.
