Hay all saving up for a new pc atm should be looking to get one in a months time

but i was thinking that i never had water cooling and i would like to try have it lol

but not sure if them kits are any good or should i buy the stuff bit by bit ?

My case i have atm is a mozart TX so i got the room for water cooling and i will be overclocking the CPU when i get it.

so i was looking at Swiftech H20-220 Apex Ultra+ £200 seems a lot for me anyways so what would be the best way to go about this?

I wan't to water cool cpu/chipset/graphics card / hard drive i think you can and what ever else can be water cooled lol

what sort price am i looking at for a good system for a noob at water cooling lol

thanks
 
If you think £200 is a lot then forget cooling what you have listed. What is your budget? What are the reasons you want watercooling? Are you willing to hack your case to fit cooling?
 
yes £200 is a lot but it just means i would have to save up more for water cooling thats lol

budget would be £250 if i can't some good system for that then ill leave it i think lol

and reason why i wan't water cooling cause i will be over clocking the new pc when i get it and i think water cooling looks great :)

my case is a mozart TX i don't think i need to cut anything on as it was made for water cooling well so they say lol
 
You can get a good custom setup for CPU cooling for £200.

I paid £250 for :

1 x 12V Laing DDC-1T Ultra w/OCLabs XP Top Clear/UV Blue
- Barb Size: 1/2" Nickel Plated
1 x Zinc Plated Jubilee Wormdrive Clip 1/2" (10 Pack)
1 x *7/16" Masterkleer PVC Hose
- Hose Length: 4 Meters
2 x 1/4" BSPP - 1/2" Hose Tail (EK)
1 x XSPC Dual Eye Ball Bay Reservoir - Black
- Barb Size: 1/2" Nickel Plated
1 x AC Ryan 4" Dual CCFL UV Kit
1x Thermochill 120.2 Radiator
- Barb Size: 1/2"
2 x Feser One Cooling Fluid - UV ACID GREEN
1 x EK-FC88GT 8800GT
- Barb Size: 1/2" Nickel Plated
1 x EK-Supreme CPU - Acetal
- Barb Size: 1/2" Nickel Plated
1 x RadGrillz Thrust 2x120 Aluminium Black

Without GPU cooling you can get that for £190 :)

Don't botehr cooling hard drives, pointless!
 
No need for rans on the ram or hard drives

Ram will be fine , most PC5300 will run upto 400mhz without too much heat

Hard drives will be fine anyway, they work until high temps :)

Hi - have you got a kit list in mind? Water-cooling will let you push your CPU and GPU further but may be easier to get the same performance by spending the 200 on a better CPU or a dual graphics set up :-)
