| water cooling is stupid. unless you're an insane overclocking pro its going to offer you no advantage over good fan cooling and its going to cost 10x more. |

so does condesation I Agree with Trae, just get a good air cooler, which can provide stable temps over standard water coolers. pccasegear.com have some pretty good deals. water cooling = waste imo, 1 leak and your fried. |

Well no because you use distilled water which doesnt contain any metals that could carry a charge, but anyhoo just buy an antec900. |

| then theres no way in hell ur gonna need water cooling, especially not for gaming. Unless your overvoltaging EVERYTHING on your motherboard, which would be utterly stupid considering that i've left everything i have at stock and i still VSYNC out online on highest spec on mesa. The only times my computer is actually pushed is when working with REDCODE and rendering out of After Effects/Maya and even then, it wouldn't nearly be worth overclocking and water cooling. |

| Water cooling is only for the peps who know how to set it up, and unless you are going to do some big "OC"ing go with air.

| i agree with Arny, water cooling is for huge OC, i mean, on air i can OC my i7 double with stable speeds and temps. If you want some liquid cooling systems just go with liquid nitrogen, guaranteed temps. (: |

| well not really, if you push most cards to the limits, again crysis for example, your card is gonna over heat and go to shit, mine did it without oc'in and 8 fans in my haf932, depends on wat you are using your pc for rather then jst oc'in

| The Corsair H50 is a self contained easy to fit System and if you use a push pull setup with another 120mm fan you can increase the cooling. Scorptec has them for about $150 - $180 depending on where you shop, http://www.corsair.com/products/h50/default.aspx there is the link to the water cooling system i plan on using in my next system and yes guys i am an oc fan & do all my own work from the build to any maintainence on all the pc's in our house |

| Ok here are some of the places i buy my water cooling gear at, oh and by the way stay away from the cheap water kits cause there shit, you will get the same temps from a good air cooler. If you want to go with water you need a good pump, water block , and most important you need a radiator large enough for the job a 120x120 rad is not going to cut it. Try not to mix copper parts with aluminum parts you could turn you water system into a big battery full of acid. These guys are helpful and quick , prices are ok. http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php This is a store in the US, i buy most of my gear off them, they have real hard core shit at a good price. http://www.frozencpu.com/ |

| Trust me the H50 is not good, i have tested it and can hardly keep an overclocked i7 cool. Stick to building a custom high end watercooling system. You will want the best cooling so it gives you lots of headroom to overclock. |

| The H50 is one of the cheap kits i was talking about. Shit water block (if you can call it a water block lol) and to small rad. I have a real big swiftech pump, 360x120 feser extreme rad, swiftech GTZ block and a swiftech north bridge block, the rad is cooled buy 3x140 2200 rpm koolance fans and it will still get up to 75+ deg with big OC and prime running. So if you are going to go with water as Nappy said, you need to build a custom high end set up for OC'ing. Oh and if you do it right it will cost you around $800 -$900 still want water? |
