New Overclocked rig

[slopez]

I am just about to place an order with OCUK for a nice new i7 920 system,
spec something along the lines of:

Lian Li TYR PC-X2000 Aluminium Full Tower
Intel Core i7 920 D0 Stepping (SLBEJ) 2.66Ghz (Nehalem) (Socket LGA1366)
Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5 Intel X58 (Socket 1366)
DUAL - XFX ATI Radeon HD OC 4890 Zalman Cooled 1024MB GDDR5 PCIE
Corsair HX 850W ATX Modular SLI Compliant PSU
OCZ Reaper 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C7 (1600MHz)

But what I want to get right this time is the cooling, now I am aware this would be a decent air cooled system... and could be just fine using something like this cooler:

Noctua NH-U12P SE1366 CPU Cooler

And then the case fans etc take care of the rest!

BUT horrendously noisy maybe?
Was thinking about a water cooled solution, but cannot find anything just right! I am aware of the advantages but with so many mix and match parts out there it would be nice to draw on a little knowledge here first before taking the watery plunge so to speak

Also cannot seem to locate water blocks for 4890's? Which happens to be fairly important...!

Also with regards to hardware eg motherboards, what has best support for water blocks, eg chipsets and voltage regulators?

cheers

For a CPU and GPU loop your looking at best part of £300 just for the water cooling. Im using that CPU cooler while my water is getting sorted and im surprised its really really quiet and just about holds my cpu at 4.2Ghz. EK do a Full board set for the UD5 and 4890 water blocks but you will need 2 loops for that. Prolly looking at close to £400.

Ok that seems to do the job well, thanks

Now all I have to do is find a way of bolting all that to my case
