my main goal in this project is to learn watercooling. i do not
need uber gear to get uber clocks. i would prefer to go as cheap
as possible, but am willing to go up to $150 if need be (cheap eh? ).
ideally, id be happy with slightly lower temps than pure air cooling.
of course id also want something stable and reliable because id probably
have no idea what to do if something broke. i also need to consider
mobility - at the moment, it seems like ill be travelling about 2-3
times this year.
rig:
e4400
p35 ds3r
x1950xt
antec 900
enhance enp-5150gh
1 dvd burner / 3 hds
sound blaster live! *
* if necessary i am willing to ditch the sblive in favor of onboard
audio for extra space. actually, im not even sure if the live is even
better than the ALC889A.
im ... not very good with tools. any type of modding, i probably cant
do. as ive said before, this is more about learning than oc'ing. i think
id be happy with just wc'ing the cpu and gpu. so then... is this feasible?
ive heard that the antec 900 is pretty bad for wc'ing, and my travelling
might make it even harder. second, if it is feasible, how should i start?
any suggestions / tips?
ok, i lied. i wanna wc to get the girls.
