So I'll cut right to the chase and say that while I'm not new to computer building, I'm very new to the practice of water cooling. Haven't ever built a water cooling system and I'm quite intimidated by the prospect of pushing fluid through my tower for fear of it leaking everywhere! But, with 2 8800 Ultras in SLI, the heat is just becoming too much of an issue and I really can't do air cooling anymore. So! I need some help designing a water cooling system to fit my needs. As of right now, I'm looking to cool the following,
EVGA nVidia 8800 Ultra 768MB x 2 in SLI
Intel Quad Core 6700
I'm using a Lian-Li V2000B right now, so I think I have a fair amount of space to be put to use. I'm not working with too much of a budget here, but I don't want to be spending an absurd amount of money on the thing. I'm trying to go roughly mid-range. I'm essentially looking for any parts reccommendations and links to good how-to guides with pictures and whatnot.
A quick question as well - when I take off the stock heat sink for the graphics cards, is it just a few screws or will I have to crack off any thermal paste? Like I said, I'm pretty nervous to do this stuff after all the money I've put into my computer... But, it's time to step it up
Thanks again guys.
