I am getting this itch to try and water cool the cpu in my sig. I was wondering if there are any good kits that do just that. I was looking at the Thermaltake 760i but not to sure if that is a decent one for just a CPU. Any suggestions on what to use? I think it would be kind of cool to have a radiator to mount on the top of my cooler master case. If a kit has one of those that would be a plus.

I also saw this one:
Danger Den 4404

What are your thoughts on these or others just for water cooling my CPU?

Thanks in advance for any help.
 
Those are both wimpy kits.
It looks like you are willing to spend around $250.

In that case here is what I would do:

Radiator: Swiftech MCR320 ~$50
CPU Block: EK Supreme ~$60
Pump: Swiftech MCP-655 ~$70
Tubing: Masterkleer 7/16'' ID 5/8'' OD ~.50/foot
Fans: (3) Zalman ZM-F3 ~$30 (better radiator fan than Yate loon)
or (3) Yate Loon low/medium ~$10 (much cheaper than Zalman)
Coolant: Distilled Water ~$1/gallon
Additive: Algaecide ~$2

There a killer loop that you will have fun setting up and will crush the two kits in your OP.
 
I'd second that, thats a really nice setup ancalime posted. Those other kits are a waste of time, plus it's more fun setting up your own custom loop.
