im going to get the i7 920 to oc. I hope I can oc that to atleast 4 ghz? could somone tell me the parts. could somone recommended a first time kit or somthing or could you tell me what parts I need for complete water cooling? im really new to this thx. :bang head
 
Personally I like the Thermaltake Big Water 735. I'd personally say its a pretty nice system, but not everyone would completely agree with me, so don't just go out and buy it. Best advice I can give is to look at some of the threads here and just study up. Look at what people say about different products, and get what you think you might want in your system and ask about that.

thx for the info, do you think its possible to go to 4.0 with that system?
 
Well, I'll be the first to disagree with darkpyro1 here. Thermaltake water cooling equipment is overpriced and just plain bad. You're better off buying a Corsair H50 than anything Thermaltake has ever produced with liquid in it.

Start off by reading the Water Cooling Guide for Beginners as well as some of our stickies to get your bearings. Once you're done, you'll probably have questions...come back and ask away!
 
standard set up
1/2 inch barbs for everything

mcp655 pump or mcp355
355 is native 3/8" ID tubing. You'll need an aftermarket top.

RX360 better choice
RS is the old one, RX is so much better.

fans
You don't need 38mm thick fans, your rad (RX ) will be fine with the Yates.
