Hi all, I just wanted to toss this question out...
I'm looking to cool my PC better than all the fans I've tossed in. It's too loud, too loud, too loud, and I think I can get a better OC. Oh yea, it's pretty loud. So I was naturally going to make the jump onto the water cooling bandwagon. I've looked around before, but I kept coming to the question: buy a kit, or build one.
Now, I'm leaning to buy a kit because of the following reasons: time, tool constraints. As it is now, I work way too much and have too many other obligations to sit down and make my on block and buy all the parts... But if I wanted to, I could get it done.
Second question, if I buy, buy from where? I was looking at DangerDen but they offer so many that I get lost. I saw that Koolance Exo but that looks hokey. I was looking to get a Maze4, eheim 1048, blackice micro rad, and most likely 1/2 inch fittings, with a nice res thrown in.
Here's my system.
P4 533mhz FSB @ 2.4Ghz (Not overclocked, fan noise unbearable)
512MB DDR Kingston
Radeon 9700 Pro
160GB WD
Forgot motherboard type, sorry, it's a Monday and I'm at work.
Thoughts? Comments? Thanks in advance. And money is not really an issue, and this project will be started in a few weeks after I get the Valentine V1... -drools- Thanks in advance!!
