I am new to water cooling and as the summer is coming soon im going to need better cooling for my rig otherwise im going to lose some of my overclock :eek:.

i want to know what the top brands are for water cooling, like thermalright is for air :D.

I live in the UK so buying this sort of stuff can be tricky, can you tell me if the brand here http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Water_Cooling.html is good and whether its over priced for water cooling. :)


One last thing is, is there anything i must know before setting up a water cooling setup. I have read some of the stickies but there doesnt seem to be much info on this :)

Thanks in adavance

DangerDen and DTek are both pretty good brands. Chevy makes some popular items as well. :)

Heatercores, I mean...

If you're thinking about purchasing a kit, it's generally recommended against around here. I don't know good kit brands. I think DangerDen and/or DTek ship internationally - take a look around their sites at www.dangerden.com and www.dtekcustoms.com.
 
so its better to buy each part, like h/s and fan :p :D

Ok can you tell me the minimum things that you need, ill probably do this in stages looking at the prices :p, but i intend to cool cpu nb and gpu with water. Although ill start with most important, the cpu :D

These brands are also sold at major online retailers
Asetek UK
Swiftec UK
BeCooling US
CoolingWorks UK

Which is better depends on what you want in performance and your moding skill level.

I went to all of these sites and noticed the asetek one was all so simple along with the swiftnets one. The other two seemed alot more complex, but im thinking i will get better cooling from them.


I want to have a water cooling system for h/s cpu and gpu for around 250 pounds is that posible? ( i sure as hope so :D:D)

Can some people tell me what they are using for there water cooling setup, eg what rad or pump you are using so i can get an idea of whats good and whats not so good. I dont want the best water cooling mainly because it will cost way to much, but i would like some half decent water cooling.

Cheers
 
Dtek sells the best stuff and Danny is a first class very smart guy. Only problem is they don't sell panaflos fans..other than that you only need to shop there. IMO.
 
For 250 Pounds or $455 you could get a very nice water cooling setup.

Asetek and Swiftec kits are very nice...by far some of the best quality you can get.
 
Can you tell me some products, this might sounds lazy, but i really have no idea about water cooling.

Cheers :D
 
get the white water block, the dtek pro-core, clearflex tubing, eheim 1024/1250. Thats should suit your well.
 
Ive decided to get the dtek kit but with a better pump (eheim 1250) more tubing and nb gpu blocks. Will this work ok?

where were you going to buy from?..... don't forget that US kits come with 110V 60Hz pumps that will not work with our mains.....
 
ok, so if i buy the pump from there, and the rest of the stuff from the dtek store that will be ok.

Also the setup that i have said, will work? just want to make sure :)
