After spending two hours working out Pobability, Reliability and other really intense equations, my Tyan just turned off. No BSOD no warning, just off.
I opened the case and it was baking. Both graphics cards at 65°C CPU's at 58°C & 60°C. The ambient case temp 40°C.

So, what better time to upgrade the cooling. Easy yeah........not.
With so much out there who's the best.
Best = Value for money+Efficiency+Compatability / Looks-Size.

WaterChill High End CPU/VGA/Chipset Cooling Kit - 120mm Radiator/Fan (03-L-1307) (WC-036-VP) £164. This looks a good option. Two of these each end of case cooling CPU's & GPU's.

Or buy individual parts and assemble.

Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions, comments etc. welcome. Cheers.

Have to agree,this is the best kit you can buy,much better than waterchill ;)

The case I have is a Silverstone Temjin TJ-06. Looking at the specs for the Swiftech, it states "This makes the Apex Ultra a true high-flow system, capable of cooling multiple high-end CPU''s and VGA''s" so all I have to do is buy an extra Apogee Universal Waterblock and two VGA Waterblocks.

Techically all you need are the extra blocks, but can anyone confirm that the 120.2 rad included will cope?
 
What exactly are you going to be cooling ?

You may also want to look at buying custom parts as well,if you are going to spend the best part of £200+.

The benifit of the kit is that it all comes in one box & is pretty straight forward to set up,rather than having to source individual parts.

I was looking to cool 2 x Opt 252 and 2 x 78GTX.
I'm stupid when it comes to the PC and roughly spend £400 per component type.
I was looking at the Koolance Exos range and fittings.
 
Ignore the Exos range. Apex kit with additional blocks will outperform. A triple rad would maintain slightly lower load temps, but a dual rad will still cope fine.
 
On the subject of 120.2 rad's, anyone know of a good case to fit one of these with 4 fans in push/pull config ?

Something that has 2x 120mm fan slots side by side would be ideal so I wouldn't have to mod a new case.
