Hey Guys,

I've been wanting to know for ages, is water cooling any good? What difference does it make to your temps? Is it easy to fit? Easy to maintain?

Last but not least, what is the best water cooling system?

You would expectto see a 10C drop from a good air cooler with a good water cooler.

The best setups are all custom - you have to cherry-pick components from all over.

Hmmm..

I'm a little hesitant about that as I don't fully know what I am looking for. If some would could pick all the best bits out for me then it would ideal. But I wouldn't expect anyone for to do that, as I have to do these things myself. As a bit of a trial and error. All I think i need to do is read up about Water cooling and find a good tutorial. Do you know of any good tutorials or any where I can research it?

I have recently gone from a sycthe ninja to a Swiftech Apex Ultra kit and have reduced my load temps by 14c. If you dont want to go custom then the Swiftech kits has everything you need and can be upgradeable easily at a later stage when you feel more confident about water cooling.
