very,

Just be careful, reasearch the hell out of your brains.

DangerDen is good, and so are alot of other companies. Water cooling is GREAT! And unlike air cooling, it aint noisy and wont loose its value as fast. :).

thanks.

Re: Water cooling, worth it?

A custom watercooling setup will embarrass an air cooled system any day. Not only is it a lot quieter, it's more efficient. If you are having problems overheating, then you should look into more expensive heatsinks or watercooling. Watercooling is only dangerous if you do it halfassed, just like anything else.

Just if you get water cooling, yu better know what ya doin, and don't get a pre-assembled kit. BUy from Dangerden as already previously mentioned. Just get the TDX block for cpu cooling, probably the best water block.

Never buy kits! No matter what. Just buy the parts separately. Trust me, you'll save money! The parts that the kits come in are low quality and not up to the task of water cooling (efficiently). Kits are usually charged more because they are put together and that the buyer doesn't need to think about what to get. There are so many combinations you can go (i.e. larger tubing, larger radiators, etc). Search through DangerDen. They have high quality parts built for performance.

Re: Water cooling, worth it?

Ok since i need a new case and saving for a nice lian li, i saw this one, with the water cooling, not a kit, since lian li is already expensive an extra $150 with a built in water cooling

Koolance PC3-426BK Liquid Cooled Case - Black

http://www.xoxide.com/koolance-pc3-426bk-case-black.html

What do you get when you cross the biggest name in ready-to-go water-cooling systems with the crème de la crème of aluminum case makers? One P to the I to the Watah Cooln M-P case! The PC3-426 is based off of a high performance fully integrated aluminum Lian-Li chassis. While the Lian-Li based case is more compact then other Koolance cases, Koolance perfectly integrates the backbone components of water-cooling (radiator, pumps, reservoir, etc) into this case. In addition to the built-in water-cooling system, the aluminum chassis turns the entire case into a huge virtual heat sink, keeping your internal temperatures much lower then a traditional steel case. A cool blue LCD readout on the top of the case displays the current running water temperature. The PC3-426 is perfect for water-cooling a single CPU environment, and its associative HDDs, video, and motherboard chipsets. So realize yo pimp potential with the Koolance PC3-426. Specifications <ul> <li>Motherboard: ATX 12' x 9.6', 30.5cm x 24.4cm (W x H)</li> <li>Material: Aluminum Chassis & Bezel</li> <li>Tubing Size (ID): 1/4' , 6mm</li> <li>I/O Ports: 2 x USB2.0</li> <li>Drive Bays: <ul> <li>3 x 5.25' External</li> <li>6 x 3.5' Internal</li> <li>2 x 3.5' External</li> </ul> </li> <li>Product Weight: 13lbs, 5.9kg</li> <li>Dimensions: 8.25' x 18.9' x 19.25', 30 x 59 x 53.3cm (W x H x D)</li> </ul> NOTE: In order to maximize your cooling performance, due to the large variety of CPU, HDD, and video/chipsets on the market, Koolance cases do not come with the waterblocks included. Please select the appropriate waterblocks/adapters for your application. Specific NVIDIA and ATI VGA Water Blocks are not listed below for upgrades.

It seems to me that the case is water cooled ready. Lian cases are nice. But as far as purchasing the water cooling parts through them, don't. http://forums.extremeoverclocking.co...ad.php?t=71321 Has all your answers to making the right setup. Good Luck!

Water cooling, worth it?
