Hey all,

I am currently running a water cooled rig (below in sig) however i have just got myself a i5 2500K and will be ordering the 680 tomorrow.

What i cant decide is if i should continue with water (which i do like) or go for top end air cooling. I would like the rig to be as near silent as possible.

Now if i was to go the water route what would i need to change on my rig to allow me to to so? Obviously I have to wait for the 680 blocks to come out and replace water/tubing etc, but what about the CPU block? Can i keep that or would i have to replace that also?

If i was to go for air, I relly have no idea what heatsink to go for either.

What are peoples thoughts on this and what direction would you take?

Thanks :)
 
I am happy, just a case of how much water will cost more than air, but looking at it all i need to buy is a GPU block (when available), CPU block, tubing and water. Pump and radiator are both good :)

And Vista went a long time ago, although i never had any problems with it :cool:
 
I can afford to watercool so may as well. Only annoying thing is they have run out of 1/2" tubing which complicates it a bit :(

Now teh decision of wait or change barbs for smaller tubing, the joys :S
