Thanks for any help i may get

 

are you after silence or overclockerbility

 

OVERCLOCKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it dont't look 2 bad swiftech make good stuff. the nexxxos xp aint bad and neither is dd or dtek.

 

lol i just named all the companies i know
i like swiftech and dd most

 

Hi sk8ter646
well i am looking for both silence and overclockerbility

 

The best advise I can give is head over to Over-clock.co.uk.

There store is the most comprehensive of all in the UK and Marci is very helpful and great for giving honest advise. Also check out their forums, specifically the watercooling section

Personally I would aim to get:
Swiftech Storm
Swiftech MCW60 (as it has great ramsinks included)
Thermochill PA120.2 (good enough for generations to come, over-clock own Thermochill and thermochill are without exception the finest radiators in the world.)
A Laing DDC-2 (18w) pump with an alphacool top (outperforms the 655 pump and is far quieter and also importantly puts less heat into the water!)
Reservoir isn't necessary, I always use a T piece and a fillport.
Tubing, Masterkleer 7/16" is the best currently available (when considering value and performance) so good choice.

 

^^^ What he said...

 

Whatever happened to Pug's Wizard Designs wc shop?

I can't seem to access the page anymore.

but i would need a G\Card cooler as well as none of them kits come with one

 

There fantastic kits and will come with all the other little bits and bobs (hose clamps, barbs etc..)

Basically they simply scale in performance... If you can fit a PA120.3 go for it but most people realistically go for the PA120.2 so it will go inside the case. I have both the PA160 and PA120.2 (initially for 2 loops but just ended with 1 pump so 1 giant loop which is incredibly overkill.. ha nevermind [the PA120.2 is sufficient for CPU and GPU cooling])

For a GPU block, simply add the MCW60 aswell (and 2 hoseclamps, i've never bothered with them since I first rebuilt my kit, the 7/16" tubing fits very tight for me!)

 

so is the PA160 not worth getting .

 

I meant, get them in this order of preferance for performance:

PA120.3 > PA120.2 > PA160

120.2 is easiest to fit into most cases, but some fit the PA160 really nicely (the PC-60 by Lian-Li is a dream for the PA160 but can also fit a PA120.2)

My worklog has a few pictures, the PA160 is at the front (case = PC-61) and there is a PA120.2 in the top: here

 

ok mate thanks for the help
