WaterCooling Kits off of NewEgg

[AngryRaisin]

I'm in the market for a water cooling kit and have been looking at the kits off of NewEgg.com and ZipZoomFly.com.
the asetek and Innovatek off of frozencpu.com are appealing too but are a little off my budget.

ZALMAN RESERATOR 1
Thermatalke CL-W0011 Rocket
CoolerMaster AQUAGATE (RL-HUC-E8U1/E8U2)
KINGWIN AWC-1
Thermaltake BigWater CL-W0005

I'm probably only in the market for first two. The Zalman seems to have only good reviews but I would like to hear the bad side too.

Out of those my vote goes to the bigwater.

*Update*

I ended up getting the Thermaltake Rocket and have been nothing but pleased with it. My processor temp stays around 120 - 130F (2weeks after install) now and my system is silent.

What CPU do you have?

 

[oompa]

isnt 115 F really hot??? my system with really crappy fans and locked up in a wooden box runs at 95 F! wow.... did you type some wrong numbers?

 

[scottchen]

Don't reply to me lol, well no those temps aren't high, but they're pretty bad considering the fact he is on watercooling.

 

[scottchen]

LOL right those thermaltake pumps, they can pump what like 25 galleons per hour? My L35 can pump that in like 3 minutes lol.

or he can put the rocket in his pocket!

I want a watercooling setup too.
I chose the hydor l35 as the pump, i'm not sure which radiator, reservoir and waterblocks. I heard that swiftechs are future proof because you can use an adaptor.
Which tubing is the best? 5/8 or 1/2? they need to connect to the inlets and outlets of all the other parts so i'm not sure how to match the water cooling components to the tubing.
I'm running a socket 939 with a 9800 pro.
I'm willing to spend up to 120$, maybe a bit more.

How are the heatercores at dangerden?
Or i can pick one up from ebay.

 

[shawnlizzle =]]

oh yes, you brought up a good point that i'll add to my guide later, BUT THE ADMINS STILL NEED TO MAKE IT SO THAT I CAN EDIT... so anyways, when it comes to the tubing, choose 1/2 inch, but the barbs can be 1/2 or 5/8. idealy, it should be 5/8, so that the tubing wraps around the barbs real tight to prevent tubing, and the heater cores on danger den are very good, probably equivilant to a bix3

[danizaken]

So if i get 5/8 tubes, would they connect to any inlets or outlets, since they are either 1/2 or 5/8, and 5/8 can fit on 1/2?

 

[danizaken]

Oh, understood.

 

[shawnlizzle =]]

what i meant is get 5/8 OD BARBS not tubing
