right Ive never come anywhere near water cooling - but i fancy it - just for the sake of it like

firstly, if i was to buy

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-021-SW

it would come with EVERYTHING i need right? (bar thermal paste maybe)

is a 120.2 Rad enough to keep say,

athlon 3700+
nforce 4 chipset
geforce 7600

all cool? or would they be cooler with air coolers on each one?

will i need a difference chipset block for an nforce 4 sli chipset cos its partially under the gfx card?

is it quiet?

have i asked enough questions?

cheers guys

It's a kit so it comes with what is listed. I would avoid the chipset block simply because it's not necessary but the rad will easily cool the chip and gpu and the chipset if you really insist.

I'd prefer to get jubilee chips from B&Q than the ones it comes with but that's just my preference. You will also need to get some deioinised water from Halfords or the like.

B&Q are really expensive for jubilee clips - go to partco or similar.

I would recommend changing *** Norfce chipset fan as it is a little loud. However water cooling it probably isnt the best option, instead get a zalman passive heatsink and maybe an Antec spot cool, or just place a fan near it.

The problem with Chipset blocks is that they restirct the flow quite a lot. I have found an EK block however which is meant to be quite good however.
