Ok so im getting a new system and am trying to decide what to get for cooling. I can afford both but which will perform the best to keep cool. Please give me as much feed back as possible and help me decide.

Water cooling is better air cooling.

And if you want to build your own, then go with 1/2". Danger Dan has nice kits you can get.

Basic Kit $52

I would defintley go with Big Water 745*. the other would be the Danger Den kit (I would've gotten it myself but did not know about it until now).

I just got my kit today (not installed yet).
First impression.
Excellent cpu block.
The 2 radiator unit is big (looking at different mounting options).
Hose connectors are very good and will not leak.

Waiting for the case and the rest of the stuff.
D805 came in too (no flames) NSL8ZH same as TG.

If you don't want to go with water cooling I would go with something else instead of Zalamn 9500.

1) ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler - Retail can be had for $25 with free shipping at newegg (this can cool better than the 9500 and it is also not as loud).

The Zalman is overpriced $65+sh.
