Water-cooling setup!

JasonKnights · 13 Mar 2011 at 00:31

Hi there I'm debating about installing a water-cooling kit. What I would like to know is, how much maintenance is required once it's all fitted? And what kind of benefits will i see with the noise? will i still hear it? I'm using a high end air cooler at present with a silent fan. Think the majority of the sound comes from the graphics card. But it still annoys me! If I do go "water" I'd buy a hydro edition graphics card.so a gpu block won't be needed! Could you spec me a list of the parts required please. I've seen a video of a level 10 gt cyber power pc and the way it's all built is something I'd like to replicate! Think the radiator needs to be 240mm not 360mm thanks, I'm buying a thermaltake level 10 gt and the rest of my specs are as sig.

I asked for a rough price from a guy in my local store, he said I'm looking around 400 which I would spend if there was a big difference in temps and more important SOUND lol. Plus also I think they look really good some of them. Was wondering about the maintanence side and risk of leaks?

If £400 is a max figure then il definatley go for it

I'm planning on replacing gpu with a hydro edition 580 or 590 ( il see what the price difference is) when released later this month. where the blocks already installed and you just connect the tubes. I have seen s 295 block for about £90 I've had this for 2years now and want to change to dx11 . http://www.google.co.uk/m/products/...b=c&ei=K558TaCJMY6S8APl1e26Ag&ved=0CCsQ8wIwBQ

The only reason I was thinking of gettin the hydro versions was so I didn't damage the gpu! But if it's only like fitting a CPU aftermarket cooler then il be confident enough. The EVGA hydro 2 *** cards are supposed to be hand picked to make sure there the very best. But if the ek block perform the same for a lot less then I would probably use them
