Hello guys...

I would like to do a watercooling setup on my i7 920 & asus rampage extreme 2...
Any tips on what pump/radiator? never done a watercooling setup before so i would need some of your tips :)

Thanks !!
 
Case: Antec1200
CPU : I7920
GPU : Gtx285 BFG
Ram : Corsair dom 6gb
PSU : Tagan 900w modular
Mobo : Asus rampage extreme 2

I want it for better temps on 3.6 ghz overclock atm would wanna push it to 4.2 once i get on watercooling also i think it looks nice aswell.
Budget? as much as it costs for a good setup.

Wouldnt mind an external rad but would prefer to have it inside.

Before you rush into anything and spend huge amounts of money - please do some research. Water Cooling is very involved, expensive and it's easy to get very little improvement for a massive spend if you're not careful. You'll be much happier long-term if you start off buying the right stuff.

I always recommend you buy your first water cooling kit second hand, primarily because it's much cheaper, but also because it doesn't tend to lose any more value once it's used, so you can generally sell it for what you paid for it and trade up to what you really want long-term new afterwards.

Once you have 250 posts and 3 months membership you can access the Member's Market on here and there is always lots of very high quality used water cooling kit being bought and sold on there.

And do please also join a specific water-cooling forum. There are several about.

Thanks for the tips... i will take it slowly and do some research.. but in the meanwhile i think i should sell my old case and get a new one which fits better for watercooling. I know that it takes a lot of hassle with watercooling setups and the temps wont drop a lot but i still want to give it a try and see how it is.. :)
