Liquid cooling.. the best of the best?

Archived from groups: alt.comp.hardware.overclocking.amd (More info?)

If you are looking for the best, buy an Asetek VapoChill XE

Check out the forums at www.procooling.com. Should get some good advice
there. www.Overclockers.com has some good guides on watercooling.
Basically research, research, research before you start. Get an idea of
what you want to cool, CPU? CPU & More (GPU/NB/HDDs)?

hi

you will gain some but will require more work to have it than aircooling.

i use a hydor pump and cpu/gpu block from swifttech, cooled by two hardware
labs extreme II radiatorn mounted outside the case. go for ½" id things, not
any smaller!

That Asetek XE aint bad.. but the Zalman TNN500A seems much better
(its heat pipe exhaust cooling - silent!) for around £100 more.

I'm going to investigate heat pipe cooling ... I want to cool my CPU,
chipset, maybe GPU (Nvidia GeForce 4600ti - not tried O/C it yet - any
comments appreciated!) and definitely heatpipe cooling for the HDD's.

There are so many options.. I'm trying to put my system together so I
dont need to buy too many parts when I upgrade my cpu / mobo next
time.

So case / cooling / ram / PSU need to be decent.

- its all good fun!
