kingnoob · 28 Sep 2009 at 18:37

ok im looking for a warter cooling system for my computer im getting

intel i5 750
palit 260 gtx

and i want to run it on the Gigabyte GA-P55M-UD2

so im looking for a cheap full kit that can cool it all

im looking at around 200-250 pounds

im not looking for overclocking just silent running

Doesn't the palit have a custom layout to the normal 260 gtx?
What case have you got?
Do you want the rad internal or out side the case.

Yeah I have that card and I have a feeling the custom PCB means a waterblock is a no-no.

kingnoob · 28 Sep 2009 at 19:01

is there a way around this with a better cooler ?

reflux · 28 Sep 2009 at 19:01

Don't think so, but I don't know for sure. The cooler isn't bad though, quite quiet in my case anyway.

kingnoob · 28 Sep 2009 at 19:16

yep but ill still be after a cpu cooler and a chipset cooler

Or you just go with a "GPU-only" cooler, which will perform better, anyway.

You can buy a very nice setup for £200, even nicer if you get the kit second-hand from MembersMarket.

But I would have a think about what you want to do first, as watercooling is more of a hobby nowadays than a necessity for either silence or overclocking.

Better air coolers should always be your first port of call if you're just looking for silence, as unless you go wild, watercooling will still have fans which spin, too.

u do have a point but iv allways liked the looks of warter

so whats my best bet at a silent air cooled cpu / gpu cooler ?

and is there a way to make my power supply silent ?

Is "warter" a brand name of a cooling system ? or do you just mean "water" ?

kingnoob · 29 Sep 2009 at 19:36

sorry its my spelling i have lerning diffaculties and my spelling is real bad sorry

MasterPlan1 · 29 Sep 2009 at 19:57

I'd personally get, http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-001-CS&groupid=701&catid=193&subcat=1038 and http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-057-AK&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=787 that should fit your card.. A fair bit cheaper and probably just as quiet, 3x120mm fans - just like you'd have to have on a CPU+GPU loop

GPU Block and RAM Sinks? Would be surprised if the holes themselves were in different places, and then it's just an epoxy/drill/clip/whatever job.

kingnoob · 29 Sep 2009 at 20:05

that cpu cooler looks good can it be mounted on the out side ?

PermaBanned · 29 Sep 2009 at 20:09

Looks good but will be nowhere near as good as a £200 Custom loop. It barely matches high end air.

kingnoob · 29 Sep 2009 at 20:15

so water cooling isant really that good compeard to a good air like the v10 http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-027-CM&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=1395 ?

kingnoob · 30 Sep 2009 at 18:26

will the V10 fit in a mid atx case ?

The v10 is a serious piece of overpriced rubbish from what i've read.

A proper water loop will out perform top end end by quite a bit depeneding on how much you spend but as the saying goes you get what you pay for (the V10 being the exception).
The likes of the corsair h50 seem to be a very good step to get into WC as its a closed loop and easy to install.

reflux · 30 Sep 2009 at 18:47

Yeah, an H50 is OK but only about as good/slightly better than decent air. For really good watercooling, you need to look at a custom loop.

bifday2k · 30 Sep 2009 at 18:48

If your considering the V10 cooler, then the corsiar H50 is a lot cheaper and better, or if ur wanting something more kit based the swiftech H20 kits are a good learning point.
