New to Watercooling

[Razargh]

Hey guys, in my next rig i'm thinking of going for CPU and GPU watercooling. Also is motherboard or ram watercooling worthwhile and what pumps, radiators and stuff will i need? (inc case)

So this is a kinda help me / spec me thread.

I've been looking at this:

and then discovered skinnee and martin, two of the best reviewers of watercooling gear. This is where delta temps and watercooling clicked in my head, the graphs and tables didn't mean much to me at the start now i go straight to them to see how many watts can be disapated at XXXrpm fan speed

Be clear on what your goal is. Silence, performance and aesthetics and match your hardware to your needs. Think about your future cooling needs as it will probably save you money in the long run and most of all be patient.

Pumps - ddc, d5, mcp35x
Rads - xspc rx/ex, hwlabs sr1, thermochill pa/ta
Blocks - Aquacomputer, koolance, EK (en if your going for nickel)
Tubing - Primochill primoflex lrt is the best i have tried, masterkleer is decent if you want to save some money but kinks easier
Fittings - Bitspower are the best but pricey

Don't bother with ram/mobo/hdd watercooling, pointless for most and just more heat to get rid of in your loop.
