i seriously don't understand water cooling and i need a setup for my system

basically just an antec 1200 case and an intel core i7 chip

need a water cooling spec badly i don't get all the different tube sizes and barb fitting ect and whats needed

i dont want a big rad! just a dual 120mm at the most i'm only cooling the cpu :)

but i know i would prefer a reservoir to a T line if thats ok to do, i also dont care if its a bay reservoir or built in with the pump i got loads room :D

Thanks
 
Are you sure watercooling is for you then? It's a lot of cash and effort and really there's not much point unless you're determined or desperate for that extra few mHz
 
well im not bothered about the cash, i saved 400 to buy a GTX 295, but realised my 4870x2 is good enough for me.

its purely for learning purposes, so i know what to do in the future if a client wants me to build a water cooled setup (luckily not yet :D), but also i would like to push my i7 a bit further see what more i can get out of it :)

We can't email you competitors either. That's also against the no competitor rule.

I'm with Audigex on this, water cooling might not be a good call. How long have you spent researching it before asking for a spec on here? How long looking through the water cooled case gallery? I'd hope several days, but suspect rather less time.
