I don't have to the links to all the places you can read up on water cooling but why are you water cooling? System getting too hot and you want further overclock? or are you fed up with the noise of air cooling and want a quiet pc?

If you need to ask someone to spec you a watercooling setup you shouldn't be doing watercooling

nice input !

then how do people get into water-cooling without asking questions ?

I'll clarify

what I meant is that if you need to ask someone to specify the parts you need for a watercooling setup you probably shouldn't get involved in putting a setup together. Never said asking questions is wrong, just that there are certain questions which can tell the reader that you aren't cut out for this just yet.

Asking to specify parts for a WC setup and then just listing the specs of his computer shows that he doesn't really want to invest in the project very much.

i actually asked the same question a while back and did'nt get any answers.anyway i read up a lot.did a lot of taking my side cover off and sitting there looking and measuring things.now i'm halfway through putting my loop together.i can say that it's much more fun to readup and learn yourself then buy all the bits that you have researched.then hopefully when it all starts up fine you can be proud of yourself.

Hi there mate, what kind of watercooling setup do you have? Just need some ideas and I'll read up on the rest. Ta!

Perhaps he knows what he needs but wants recommendations on specific components that are good to use ie which ones work best. I cannot link to the kit i am getting but it is a 360 rad kit which will be all i ever need and there are plenty of sites that deal with watercooling and will help begineers to get to grips with the basics right through to the advanced aspects this site is not one of the best to learn about it all.

i've put up a thread about my build.have a read mate
