Ok, so i was zipping thru newegg looking for liquid cooling.


came across the Big water 745. Seemed good 3 120mm rads.


then i saw the Zalman Resarator.

OR the Resator 1 Plus.


Thermaltake

Zalman products are generally good. So are thermaltake.

Also i kno this is in the wrong area. But no one visits the Cooler/heatsink section.
Thanks

Yes I do.

I think the thermaltake is better than zalman for this particular case. Air cooling I would go with zalman, water cooling I'd go with thermaltake.

Well generally no one does.

Anyways. Why do you say Thermaltake. The Zalman seems pretty good.

Unless you actually want the reservoir / radiator outside the case, I don't like it myself. If you keep your case and it hasn't been designed with WC in mind then you have to either get the tubing out by a pci slot adaptor or drill holes in your case (this is not hard but a pain).

I prefered to keep everything inside my case for a cleaner look which the thermaltake will allow (assuming you have a full size case).

Besides, it looks like a big phallic symbol sitting on your desk.

i wouldnt mind it being out side. it would generally be on the floor or over an AC vent.
