Phenom II 940 Water Cooling

[lightning099]

i Was wondering what would be a good watercooling solution to put in the p183 that would give me enough headroom to overclock my 940 to 4.0-4.2ghz with decent temps.

This would be a good start, Better to know why before you buy.

Since this is my first attempt at watercooling i was wondering if buying a kit would be more advantagious instead of buying individual parts. the kit i looked at was the H20-220-APEX ULTRA from swiftech. is this kit worth the money or would i be better off building my own.

It's a very nice kit, quality stuff. It's not a per say 'kit', it's a smart collection of various parts from quality manufactuers that can be bought in seperate parts.

It's good stuff and plenty enuff to cool any CPU on the market.

You still need to learn about install tips, bleeding and maintenance, so all those links I posted are just as important as you buying seperate parts.

Thanks. For the money is it worth it to buy the kit or would it be a lot cheaper to assemble one from various parts.

All depends what you need. That is where a few weeks of perusing the links, forums etc will make up your mind. Going watercooling isn't as easy as buying a new DVD at Best Buy.

The task is back in your lap.
