    Can anyone recommend a good water chiller , My Preference would be external, The computer I am going to build is going to be in my attic and its very hot there so passive cooling wont be enough

    Ill be using a Corsair Obsidian 800D case and was planning on 2 loops (1 for CPU ) and (1 for the rest GPU(s) and board).

    Thanks
    Steve

    Motherboard Asus P6X58D-E Intel X58 1366 Motherboard
    CPU Intel i7 950 CPU
    Video Card (X2) XFX HD 5870 Graphics Card - HD-587X-ZNFC

    I might change the GPUs if the HD6xxx come out soon

    I'd go for the 1500 or 2000 then.

    There's a lot of heat you could be dumping into the loop if you OC
