to build my own rig... In fact, I used to build custom systems and sell them to my friends in the late 80s, early 90s. However, I haven't built a custom system in a long time. Actually, the last computer I put together was my WHS - but I used a barebone SC440...

First water cooling system, parts ordered. So anyway, as a continuation of my former post, here's a list of the computer parts: Cooling build: ...

Water Cooling System (Help Needed!!!). This will be my first attempt at water cooling, and after reading around various forums and doing a lot research I came up with the following: It will be going in Lian Li PC-V2010B with a Intel 920 on a EVGA Classified...

about what i want to add to the case. :pt1cable: for water cooling components pretty much the only companies you should be looking at are alphacool, XSPC, EK-Supreme and zalman. ^Zalman and Alpha Cool don't make quality units. Period. The only water cooling...

off water cooling is not cheap. My buddies setup cost him $600 for his CPU, northbridge, and video card. That is with all the pumps, hoses, radiators, fans, water blocks. Granted it is elaborate, but keeps things REALLY cool. If you are just breaking into...

or SUPER DOOPER over clocks. What you will get is a quiet system that can handle OC to the max of your hardware IF you buy quality and buy smart. And minor maintenance too, a bonus for the water cooler. Also while there please read on case mods etc. The...

you got the proper components to do so, thus costing a lot more then 300USD. For 250-300USD you'd be able to setup a good CPU only water cooling loop. You MIGHT me able to afford a chip set water block in that loop. But definitely not with a GPU block, far...

control do? Well shabaa, I clearly do not have the experience required to build a custom water cooling system. The one you built sounds really great though if it can keep the chip that cool! Considering my lack of experience and the collective cooling...

Alcohol cooling in traditional water cooling loops. Would it be wise to fill a liquid cooling system entirely with isopropyl alcohol? Isopropyl alcohol always feels colder then water at room temperature which would suggest that it has better thermal transfer...

Sonata III case. The stock cpu and gpu fans are WAAAAAAAAAAY too loud for me. I need 17 dba max for the whole system (I am really sensitive to noise due to where my case is, etc). What would be a good water cooling setup? What about air? What would you...
