How much did you spend on your water cooling setup poll?

[Zagi]

May as well throw myself in here. Over $500 once its all added together... ouch...

..But at least it looks killer

but does it perform killer

 

[Zagi]

Yes... definitely worth it

 

[acemorgan]

If it including all the pumps & rads plus shroud & risers & cooling blocks & nozzles & flow meters & sensors Ive easily lost count after $1,300USD on just a computer.

Miyuki was done in silver parts as a experiment, so she runs a tad bit more epensive.

My pumps alone on my system is roughly 70 x 5 = 350 dollars in pumps alone.
Radiators is around 4, so mcr total is 100, + 100 for each PA ~ 400 dollars
The blocks total around another 400 dollars
Fittings another 200 dollars, i dont use cheap fittings and i rebuy new fittings when i rebuild...

Example of my box of spare fittings:


So my total is ~1300 conservative.

when i did it 300+

LOL I've got a couple G's into mine by now just from buying and replacing gear...always trying to save a buck but ends up costing twice as much from replacing the gear later.

From my experience best advice I can offer anyone is buy the best the first time around, might cost you a couple bucks more but it will save you quite a bit in the long run from not having to replace the cheaper stuff later.

$500+ I just bought a new 120.3 rad, a new pump, and two swifttech GPU blocks.....

 

[Mandlevi]

$400.00 when I figured everything. Tools, Loop itself, Distilled Water,etc.. Its definitely worth it though!

 

[QuietIce]

I never include the cost of tools in any project - I almost always end up using them for other things in the future ...

 

[Spawn-Inc]

up to 1000 now including shipping and such.

 

[dyckah]

around $330 CDN, including the extra fans purchased

 

[markp1989]

i spent £170 on mine

 

[cheesemaster2.0]

my current watercooling setup is:
mcp655 pump
Swiftech MCR220 Quiet Power 2x120mm radiator
koolance cpu 340 waterblock on a [email protected]
fluid xp coolant(dont really know if its any different than water but it sure sounds cool)
and still looking for a good north/southbridge waterblock for my evga 750i ftw

 

[Badbonji]

Spent around $400 (UK is more expensive) for a CPU only loop, ready for a DX11 gpu upgrade later on...
Got an MCP655
Black ice GTX480 with medium Yate Loon fans
EK Tube reservoir 250mm
EK Supreme CPU block
And it keeps my cpu at just over 30C in idle, and 67C load.
