| 780320 | 2009-06-07 09:06:00 | I voted water, just cos I use it and like it. To watercool CPU and Chipset will set you back 300 bucks, thats an ok pump, blocks and radiator. Still leaves you 300 for psu and memory | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||
| 780321 | 2009-06-07 09:07:00 | I am going for the corsair 750watt psu because it is orange =P and in the near future saving up for an sli rig sort of thing. I have already started to mod my case, (window and different colour), and not looking to pull away from it in a long time. It runs my q6600 very cool, 22 C with out overclocking at idle with only one intake fan and its stock cooler. I just want a little more juice! | Openingfuel (14473) | ||
| 780322 | 2009-06-07 09:08:00 | Another reason to go water, if your all about looks watercooling is the way to go | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||
| 780323 | 2009-06-07 09:09:00 | Just came across another of your threads do you still have the case in your signiture or did you upgrade to one of those you mentioned here (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz)? Well i havnt had my pc for a little while so i A) didnt uplaod it by then or B) didnt even have it =P, the only thing i have put into my computer since new is a wifi pci card =P |

| 780324 | 2009-06-07 09:10:00 | Another reason to go water, if your all about looks watercooling is the way to go What kind of brand did you go with. Does it cool extremly well. I would like to go liquid as well but need other parts as well. Where did you buy it from? |

| 780326 | 2009-06-07 09:15:00 | I didnt buy a brand name pre built thing (from what ive seen and heard they're not great) I bought the parts from the US, a few of us pitched in and bought a fair bit of stuff. Cant remember exactly what im using, will open up case and have a look, il take a pic for you too |

Well first if i go with air cooling I will get some good quality fans for the cpu cooling. I can mount up to 5 fans in the case with mods and a 240mm rad in either the top (with mods) or the front (with mods yet again) or the back externally. |

| 780329 | 2009-06-07 10:01:00 | Alright I had a look I'm using a swifttech pump (cant see model number but its bloody good) a black ice 240mm radiator and a 120mm which i think is also black ice and thermaltake block, i need to replace this though. Im using 1/2inch tube throughout Its on my e6600 oc 3.6ghz, 12 hours of orthos and its sitting at 50 maybe less I have the 240mm radiator on top with fans sucking air through and out the top, and the 120mm in front over the hard drive cage Sorry about bad picks, couldnt find camera cord so jsut used phone |
