Hey guys, always used air to cool my system, currently using a Noctua ND-H14 on my i7 920 @4.2.

But coming early next year i want to take the leap to water cooling and i was wondering if there is any information/literature out there for me to read?

Thanks.

That may have been due to your rad not being capable enough?

you're pretty unlucky!

OP, I would read Shaypers guide (sticky at top of watercooling section) and also this one:

Heh cheers, just reading through the Clunk now.

It all "seems" pretty straight forward", the only thing would be i'd like to remove all fans from my case and replace the cooling with water.

So CPU, 2x GPUs, NB & SB.

Ideally i'd be after a completely silent cooling, or as quiet as possible.

You'll still need fans for the rads. You will also need to move everything onto SSD's for complete silence

I'm using a noctua nh-d14 to cool my 1100T at the moment and I think i'd like to get into watercooling at somepoint wiht a basic cpu loop or something just to get into it and then advance.

I appreciate that link posted above, I've bookmarked it for when I finally decide im gunna go for it
