Cheap WC

[cabose1227]

I need the cheapest water cooling set up posible that is still good quality. It has to be under 180 dollars and I will only be cooling my cpu. I already have fans for the radiator, I also need a good coolant formula. Any ideas will be good. I already tried but it ended up at $180 so if its not lower than that then I will just get my set up.

I made up this list recently from CrazyPC. You can take a look and modify as needed. You may want to go with 3/8" tubing instead though as the barbs on the ApogeeDrive are 3/8".

Can some one link me a cheap pump that will last and is good for just a small cpu loop? dont like how a built in pump sounds.

Did you already have parts? You can get a Nautilus 500 for around $150. I got one after getting tired of problems with custom setups. Simple, low maintenance and it has been very reliable, running 24/7 for over a year and a half. Keeps my OC'd E6600 in the mid 30's C. Rarely have to add water and it comes with its own addative.

The Apogee drive uses the same DDC 3.2 pump that you buy as a stand alone unit. The pump just uses and integrated Apogee waterblock instead of a separate block.

There is really no such thing as a good, cheap pump. A good pump is going to cost you in the $70+ range. A cheap pump like a Dtek DB-1 is like $40, but it doesn't have a very good reputation.

Apogee drives spreads too much vibration. The noise from vibration is much louder than the pump itself. Anyways that is experience with antec p182 case.
