I've been looking over some articles in regards to water cooling, and wanted to know if it'd be worth all the toruble. In contrast to the hsf a water cooled system can be rather troublesome to install and maintain. Not to mention the risk of springing a leak and having your hardware damaged. Without a water setup involving a peltier would the temps differ so much from that of a SLK 800 with a Tornado Fan? By the way what temps could I expect if I went to water cooled setup for system in sig? Right now my temps are 45C idle and 49C load (using Volcano 7+). Should I just go for SLK 800 with Smart Fan, or a water cooled setup?
Here are components i'd would get for this setup:
Heater Core
Hydor L30 320Gph Pump or a Via Aqua 1300
2 Delta 120mm 80 CFM Fan (possibly with a rheobus)
For the waterblock it'd have to be something cheap, maybe something re used.
But how would that setup work and what temps could I possible expect. And is there a advantage to using 1/2 tubing over 3/8? Spending as lil as possible is preferable.
Sorry if i'm all over the place!
