Well my first foray into watercooling has been the purchase of a Kandalf LCs case - I went for this due to my total lack of knowledge on watercooling - and so far quite pleased with it. Getting idle temps of around 25C on my Q6600 (stock) and about 40 under load in Prime95 (in place large tft's), and am using coretemp for temp monitoring.

Eventually I intend to wc my whole rig - 8800gtx and motherboard etc (asus P5K Deluxe), will be adding a raid setup later and will want to add that as well :)


What I would like is some advice on what compenents for watercooling to look for when I start rebuilding my rig, as I am well aware that the pump in the kandalf is only really up to the job of cooling the cpu.

And yes I know that most people say the TT lcs system sucks - but I am quite happy with the performance and assembling it did give me a nice intro to watercooling. So there is no need to remind me - I am after all a watercooling newb :D

I'd probably go with something along the lines of:

DDC Ultra with Custom Top (EK or Petras for build quality)
360 Rad - Therochill, XSPC or Black Ice GTX
EK Supereme
EK Full Cover 8800GTX Block
EK Asus # mobo blocks
Reservoir of your choosing
