Help! I want to water cool.

[mattup]

I have spent time and money on trying to keep both temps and noise down using air cooling. With my current overclock (cpu and gfx card) temps are a shade high 46C (cpu) 37C (m/b) under load and the noise is getting on my nerves, I guess the VF900 does not help with temps.

My current kit is housed in an Eclipse 62 case.

I am looking at water cooling my cpu and video card as the coming summer months won't help.

I know nothing about water cooling and need some help please.

Can you spec me a setup that will be cool and quiet? I don't mind spending a few quid for a quality result.

Thanks in advance Matt

if ya want performance silence and a cool look... id get a full 1/2" kit... and for performance a custom kit is best,

Cpu block Danger Den TDX block
GPU block Danger Den Maze 4 or Danger Den NV78 (cools ram too)
Tubing 6ft 1/2" tygon or clearflex
Pump Danger Den D5 or Laing DDC 1plus (with top res to make it 1/2")
Radiator Thermochill PA 120.2 or BIP 120.2 (measure your case to make sure they will fit if your top mounting)

hope that helps any more questions just ask away

Im building a watercooling rig in an akasa eclipse atm, i bought the following:

CPU Block - Swiftech Apogee (or storm if you can afford it, but I think its not worth the extra money)
GPU Block - Danger Den Maze 4
Pump - Danger Den D5
Radiator - Thermochill PA120.2
Tubing - 1/2" Clearflex
DangerDen Fillport

I would reccommend you cut two blowholes in the top and mount the rad in the optical drives, and fit some quiet fans, I would personally reccommend Nexus fans which are almost inaudible.
