Liquid Cooling

[PauL]

I would like some recommendations on a liquid cooling system that works well but doesn't cost more than $200. I was looking at the KINGWIN AWC-1 for about $100. I have read good reviews on it, and it sounds like a good one for the money but I would like to know if there are better ones that won't cost more than $200. Since you guys are good at modding I thought you guys must know some things about liquid cooling.

Thanks :)

you can get a real setup at danger den for under 200 that'll work way better than any kit.

^^^ dont get that, it's not any good.

you need a:
pump
cpu block
gpu block(dont need but for videocards)
radiator
tubing
anti freeze.

all this can be found at www.dangerden.com


post script: sorry jrabbitb i would only recomend that if someone wanted a completely silent system.

Okay I got a set-up for a liquid cooling but I don't know if it's any good. Here's what I got:

CPU Block: Danger Den TDX (AMD 64 Sckt 939)
GPU Block: Acetal MAZE4 GPU (X850XT)
Radiator: Black Ice Micro II (Will a Black Ice Xtreme work with a 80 MM Fan?)
Pump: Danger Den 12V CSP-MAG
Tubing: 7 feet Blue UV 1/2''
Anti Freeze: My dad has some Liquid Koolance, would that work?

Total: $193.43

Is this a good set-up and is a reservoir needed?

PLEASE tell me you are joking.... can you just imagine that thing next to you?

If you're talking about noise, the Zalman is silent.

If you're talking about heat, the Zalman is pretty cool, too.

i know a guy with the reserator, the only problem is transporting his PC.

a res isn't needed, but with barbs and some PVC, you can make your own res, or you can make your own out of plexi.

its looks like the pro 2 only works with 120mm, but that micro i hear is pretty good too.

And no a resevior is not needed, but it makes it easier to get air out of the loop.
