Help : Watercooling

[1337 n00beh]

DO NOT MAKE THIS INTO A THREAD WHERE YOU ALL DEBATE ABOUT WETHER NEWBIES SHOULD USE KITS.

I have a tight(ish) budget and I doubt that I will have very much choice. Please firstly give me a list of things that i will need for the watercooling system and which brands of these to get if possible

[gaara]

Pump
Radiator
Tubing/Fittings
T-Line
Water Blocks

You can build a good starters kit for around 150 bucks if you want to get your feet wet and do a bit of cutting and welding with a car radiator, otherwise you're looking at probably close to just over 200 bucks.

TDX CPU Block $50
MCP650/AquaXtreme 50z/MCP655 Pump $75
Tygon Tubing and Fittings $15
T-Line $10
Radiator $30-80(?)
Maze4 GPU Block $40

The MCW6002 and MCW50 are decent blocks as well.

do i need a resivwar or however u spell it ? btw im from uk so i have medium choice

[gaara]

A T-Line is the cheap and space conservative alternative to a reservoir, you may use a reservoir if you want but either is fine.

There are most certainly distributors in your area, I wouldn't think they'd be in Canada but I checked and they were so don't give up hope so quickly.

i have a budget of about £165 which is approximately $297
i already knew about one of them but its expensive :P

[gaara]

oh well then you're fine, you can easily fit in a nice CPU/GPU loop in there and have some nice components. Just make sure you get the D5 pump, I'm kinda ****ed off I bought the D4 and a few weeks later, bam, the D5 shows up. Better flow and quieter to boot.

Go with what I've listed above, all good parts for a system that doesn't have an iwaki. If you want a good performing radiator visit xtremesytems.org and PM weapon about his cores, or for a dirt cheap alternative check out this:

lol one of the uk suppliers, i already used and knew about they just used a different domain name, they dont have brilliant choice
i was already looking at another.
so theres 2 more to lok at

[1337 n00beh]

the tdx is £38.23 Including VAT
and is like 1/4 of my budget doesnt look good

[1337 n00beh]

noooooooo.
I cant afford watercooling even with £165

[diabloII]

those pre-built ones are no better than a decent fan

if you can't afford it, save up for it

if you're just gonna buy those asetek crap, you might as well get yourself a tube of arctic silver 5 and a zalman 7700cu hsf
