I was at the PC Fair last week and someone was selling a $100 WC kit, but I didn't really note which brand. Now, as the temperature goes over 90F, I think my rig is running a bit too hot and I find that maybe I should go to watercooling.
Nothing overwhelming but I would like quiet. I have a pretty noisy setup right now and I figure that anything that gets the heat right off the CPU and out the case has got to help.
I took a look at the stickies and would just prefer to get a kit. By now, it is sort of becoming common so I would think the kits are pretty good.
Of the kits available, is $100 enough for a reasonably quiet and low-maintenance setup for a fairly large case? I took a look at the Thermaltake Aquarius II which is around $100 and includes the waterblock. Is it then necessary to add the various water treatment products (I loved that sticky).
Any help appreciated. I figure I'll watercool the main PC and maybe move the Zalman HSF down to one of the others.
