Hey guys,
I am, as the title threat says, a watercooling Virgin! I would like to water cool my existing Q6600, as I have decided I do not want to buy a i7 quite yet but would rather wait for the i9. I posted another thread recently about how hot my CPU was because of this overclocking. My quest for a silent fast PC begins.
This is a list of my current gear.
Intel Q6600 @ 3.4ghz
Nvidia 780i SLi
2 X 1GB Crucial Balistix RAM
Zalman CPU Cooler (Can't remember the exact model)
Nvidia GTX 260
Coolermaster Cosmos 1000 Case
Enermax Galaxy 1000w PSU
I want to watercool this PC so that it is silent. Currently, I can hear a large humming noise coming from the case. I am wondering, would any kind soul who is experienced with water cooling be willing to guide be though the process? I would be prepared to pay for your time to talk me through it.
I would be willing to take pics and put them up for others to see as a type of guide or something to help a newbie through this daunting procedure.
I have a budget of £250 or so. You could even start to list the items I would need. A comprehensive list would be awesome! Any requirements to be highlighted would be good too - such as what bit's of my PC must be free of components - such as some CD bays?
Regards,
Farore
