Best 'noob' CPU/SLI solution?

Would this be the best choice:

Swiftech H20-220 APEX ULTRA CPU Liquid Cooling Kits - Retail??

or maybe

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835108092

I think I have to buy the video heatsinks and extra tubing, but I am using this on a:

Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700 Kentsfield 2.66GHz LGA 775 Processor Model BX80562QX6700 - Retail

EVGA 122-CK-NF68-AR LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail

and (2)

eVGA 768-P2-N831-AR GeForce 8800GTX 768MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Video Card - Retail

I do not want something very complicated where I may fu%$ up my new hardware as you know I am spending close to 5 grand on a new system... Secondly it has to be purchased at Newegg or anywhere with Bill Me Later (tm) like zipzoomfly, and a bunch of other stores.



If there is a case thats ready to go, or something like that, I'de love it.


I want the best solution that:

(a) Works well
(b) pre-configgured (I mean, I can fill the fluid up, etc) but boiling tubes and all this stuff, I just dont know. I am in a wheelchair for all that dont know, and I can work on a workbench np.

I want a system that has durabillity. How long do these last? Will they eventually become weak and crack? I dont want any fancy porcelin, or any stufff like that. I want pure quality, but I have to choose from here those places.

Here is the full NewEgg Watercooling list (can filter from there):

Price is not an issue if it means protecting the rest of my hardware. As you know - this chip I am getting runs super hot, even with a Tuniq, so I should go water I think. An Ultra-120 with a kickass fan wont work well wither.

I W"WAS" going to try a Monsoon II.... I could try that first and report back to you guys with the load and idle results, do some burn ins. Might be usefull for these forums.

Hmm..


Here is some of the other stores I can shop at:

few others too but they suck.

This isn't really noob but I would get:
This:

and two of these:

The single RAD in that case is not going to handle your heat load. A dual might even be pushing it with a quad and SLi.

I agree with Immortal Hero on that kit...but for the blocks I think http://ekwaterblocks.com/shop/produ...d=143&osCsid=eb30aad58c16af3bbd652a1af94f6f1b
are what you are looking for.

I am sure you can get them in the states...

EK's are only shipped from overseas. I guess his shipping only takes 1 to 2 weeks though. EK makes the best full coverage blocks. I like MCW60 very well also. DD's Maze blocks are a little easier to mount than MCW60's though and perform to par with the Swifties.

http://www.petrastechshop.com/ekgtxfucowaf.html they are available in the states, but I don't think petras has a bill me later type thing.
