I've been talking to a friend who says he can help me watercool my system :

Specs

AMD Phenom II Black Edition
Gigabyte GA-990XA-UD3 Mobo
2 X GTX 570s.

And I'm getting a 'Dragonrider' case sent from In-Win so I assume space shouldn't be an issue.

I'm not sure if any of the waterblocks in stock on Overclockers will fit the 570 or not.


I'm wanting to watercool both the cards and the CPU, I've been told it would cost around £400, is this estimate right? I'm not even sure what components I would need as I've never watercooled anything before, could anyone lend some insight?

Thanks

I'm cooling a similar setup: AM3+ FX8150 and 2 x GTX580s in SLI.

I spent around £500 on my watercooling build which consists of:

1 x 240 Rad
1 x 120 Rad
1 x EK Sumpreme HF EN Nickel Plexi CPU Block
2 x EK GTX580+ EN Nickel Plexi GPU Bocks
Laing DCC ultra pump with EK RES 140 top.
anti vibration pad for pump
SLI bridge connector.
2m of tubing.
1 litre coolant.
Plenty of compression fittings (2 per component) as well as some angled fittings.
Suitable rad fans x 3.
PSU jumper to fill the loop.
Oh and a pair of tube cutters.

(I will have missed something :p)

All of that cools my rig fairly well, i could have done with bigger rads but its all i could fit in my case without some heavy modding.

Hope this helps.
