Hi guys want to do my first watercooled build in the coming week but am lost what with everything on offer. I was wondering if one of these http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-078-XS&groupid=962&catid=1532&subcat= would be a good start and is the kit good enough.

All help and guidance appreciated.

Would only be the cpu as would'nt risk removing the stock cooler on my graphics card with my luck

Thought of using this coolant with it http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-010-MH&groupid=962&catid=1531&subcat= should go well with that fan controller you sold me

What coolant would you go for as it will be running 24/7.

Well its going in a 650d sat on my desk so accessing the fill port would not be a problem.

Was leaning towards the combo as i like my cases neat and tidy, im a little ocd

Thanks for the advice guys, think i will give the kit a go and add some x1 coolant to it, cheers.

Think xspc, just like the idea of the combo pump reservoir

beefybarn · 7 Jan 2012 at 23:28

Well first attempt, once i get my confidence up will more than likely change it all just like i do everything else

Going to sound a right newbie here but got the xspc kit and would like to know which is inlet and outlet on the pump recervoir as its not marked, and help please.

The RS240 with the res pump combo.

I think the left is an inlet, but not certain

Just try it quickly with some water until someone else can give you a hand

So that would be my return from the rad ?

Great thanks for all your help, you can tell im new to this watercooling lark

Ok guys one last question

when i put the fans on the rad are they best underneath or above or does it really matter as seen it done both ways in the watercooling gallery.

In the roof of my 650d

beefybarn · 16 Jan 2012 at 13:27

Good point, had'nt thought of it that way, will give it a try thanks
