Cooling N00b to watercooling. Recommendations welcome...

Hi there,
I'm pretty new to watercooling, and was wondering if anyone could make some recommendations as to what to get. I want it to be quiet, and I want some overclocking ability. Money isn't really important, but cleanliness is. I want 1/2" tubing, and a very quiet but efficient pump. I also want some chrome pi-thon fittings, although I can't seem to locate them at any computer stores. Also, any other recommendations would be nice. I'm going to be running a 3800+, and a 6800 GT, and I want to overclock them both, so I plan on getting blocks for both, as well as the northbridge.

 

I have used the danger den RBX and like it.

It is a clean looking block with good performance but it will not support peltier cooling due to limited surface area.

One nice feature of this block is that you can change out little acrylic flow plates. This means you can controll the low pattern and the preasure and jet shape in the block!

If you are looking to add a pelt later on down the line swiftech sells water blocks and you can later one add a pelt using there complete kits ( pelt, and rubber all cut to size) for only a little more.

For your GPU both Danger Den and swiftech make very good blocks.

If you do buy Danger Den you can build an entire set up on there site and get it shiped to you as a complete kit.

Good luck! And remember to LEAK TEST for 24 hours at least.

 

plz there are manny of these threads around there is even one on this page, but i sugest get a kit from danger den, saves on shipping
but make sure you get an ehiem pump
if you want to get more extreme than a bix get a heater core

 

What's a bix, and what's a heater core???

Okay, got it. BIX = Black Ice Extreme...

Where do I look for heater cores?
