I want to water cool my computer in the future... I'm in the process of getting all new computer parts... I want to run dual processing in like the 2+ ghz range and i'm not sure if two cpu fans would keep down heat from the load... The computer will be ran as a server... game server.. file server.. web server and it will probably have a heavy load.

I have no idea what's a good Water Cooling kit out there I really don't care about the price i just want a great Water Cooling kit that will do it's job 24/7 and especially keep the temperature down.

Is water cooling a way to go? Or is there a better way of cooling the computer? I know the possitive and negatives of using water cooling and i'm not really worried. Thank you for the help :-)

well, the only Kits that might be able to adequately cool a 2x2+ghz rig that I can think of would be a modern swiftech one, and those bad boys are Pricey. for dually rigs its much much better to do it yourself watercooling. do searches for various pumps, heatercores, and waterblocks on the forums to find out what people are using.

how bout 2 whitewaters in parallel...
a mofo'en huge a55 heatercore... (to resist flow because water won't be able to cool as well if water is traveling so fast thru it) :P
and a 1260...

dude, restricting the flow will cause it to speed up...

you want a 86 chevette heatercore, as they have low resistance and alot of capacitysoo the water does stay in it longer

thats how jets are made, by restricting flow, also, running 2 ww blocks in parallel would probably be a bad idea, wouldnt have much flow thru them to do much damage;) I dont know what should be done in this case...
