Does anyone. know of a definitive article on the ins and outs of watercooling back to front including a glossary of terms.if it doesn't exist fine. i spent most of the morning looking for articles on overclockers home page and found interesting articles and tidbits of information. it is getting dangerously close to the time for me to order my new pc and i am still trying to decide whether i want to water cool. i know diy kits are very popular but this is going to be the first time i spend more than a 1000 dolars on a computer so i don't want to risk frying my mobo by making my own parts. i have read nothing but good reviews on the innovatek kits and am interested in purchasing one. I have a definite need to understand all the things i need to watch out for when installing and maintaining a water cooling setup.For example. if there is any preparatioon that needs to be done to the hardware,(mobo, cpu, etc) i saw the toms hardware video. if it can be that simple thatn that is awesome. but if there is anything else i should do besides just slapping the thing on i would like to know. for example(again) do i need a more powerful pump if i want to water cool the cpu, chipset, and video card rather than just the cpu?.thank you i am sure there are vry good articles out there that i haven't run ito if anyone knows of any links to them i would appreciate this.thank you

check maximus nickus' definitive cooling guide post here, it has LOTS of info, and if you have specific questions, we can answer them once you get more familiar. i've been researching watercooling all summer and am about to make my first DIY setup, if you have any questions you think somebody like me who's gone through this might bbe able to answer, feel free to pm me

well i had read that like weeks ago when i first started looking into this. while i didn't fully understand what he was talking about then i have reread it and feel a little more comfortable with the information. my thing is i want extreme cooling at a nonextreme price. i don't want to buy the bare minimum cause ill just want to upgrade but i don't want like ungodl coolng because it costs too much. i really have no idea what id need.
