Ready for water cooling.

Water cooling help

I'm just about ready to pitch the Alpha and the noisy fan and go water cooling. I looked at the Swiftech kit.

Anyone know anything about it. Would I be better off buying everything seperate or for a first time should I just go with the kit. Any help would be appriciated. Thanks guys.

I say save the loot and go custom. With this forum you will have no problem even if you have not done it before. Here is a link to get you started.

Nice looking kit

I know it's cheaper to build one. But I don't know what hose clamps and stuff to get and how to make my system where I can bleed it ect. I guess maybe I just feel more comfrotable with a kit for my first time. ANyone have any suggestions i'm sort of afraid if I build one it might leak or not perform like it's supposted.

Are there any other kits you know of that are really good. Price really isn't a problem.

I decided i'm going to build one myself. Here is my list so far with what i'm getting and the prices. If I have left anything out please please let me know. I don't know where to buy a Fill/Bleed kit from.

$52 D-Tek Copper Spiral Waterblock
$55 D-Tek Pro-Combo Radiator
$18 Vantec Stealth 120mm fan (FrozenCPU.com) > $25 togethor w/ discount
$16 10ft of 1/2" Clear Tubing (FrozenPC.com) > " "
$8 Nylon Hose Clamps (10) (D-Tek)


Is it really necessary to have a water reservoir. Any other info would be awesome! Does anyone recommend a cheap/good pump i'm trying to keep this under $200.

*bump*

Inexpensive pump: Via-Aqua 1300. Res is not mandatory. Many peeps just use a simple T fill and bleed setup. Although one could argue this is in effet a very simple, small volume Res

awesome, I just ordered one of those blocks as well. I guess I should have ordered the TC-4, but oh well. Also they have those res on sale at D Tek for 25 bux......ordered 3 of those too, should be here any day. I'll let ya know how they work. I think youll be OK just ask questions and we shall answer.

So the TC-4 water block out performs the Spiral one?
