| Water cooling is a lot of work and you need to have some skill in handywork to get it running nicely. I don't have a lot of time to make a big long post, you can search up some of my other posts if you really want to know. Here are some kits: Petra's Tech Shop By the way, to liquid cool your GTX you will want a fullcover block. ![]() I Like Watercooling. D-Tek Fuzion, MCP655, MCR220 |

| We take both criticism and positive comments very positively | Thats not necessarily true......if you want a super water cooling setup, then yes, kits from Danger Den or Swiftech are top notch, and require a bit of understanding, patience.....but you can get some very good external kits from Koolance, Corsair, and Thermaltake that will be more than sufficient for 99% of systems INTEL E8400 // Gigabyte EP45 Extreme // 4GB DDR3-1600 // Palit HD 4870 // Antec 1200 // Seagate 750GB HDD // Zalman CNPS9700 // BFG ES 800W PSU |

| True true. Forgot to mention those. I had to leave in a hurry when I made that post. It's up to you which route you want to go. Swiftech makes great kits. Remember that you can get great cooling with air as well as long as you choose the right parts and set things up right. Sometimes setting up aircooling can be just as time consuming as watercooling. :O ![]() I Like Watercooling. D-Tek Fuzion, MCP655, MCR220 |

the only way it can take remotely as long is if you have to remove your motherboard, which isn't required by most (good) aircoolers. imho zalman is up. air cooling for you rig i'd suggest a 9700led or non led doesn't matter for the CPU, and a VF9000 LED or non LED for your video card. To suppliment the VF9000 i would also spend an extra 10 bucks on the OCZ ram-sink kit. ![]() | |

| Have you ever watercooled or setup a really nice, high end air cooling setup? This includes fixing your wires so that you don't screw up your airflow. You know that can take a few hours on it's own. I've setup my watercooling in one hour, same amount of time it can take someone to do their air. ![]() I Like Watercooling.
