    Water Cooling Kit for PC silence

    Who has water cooling? Is it worth it?

    Not for overclocking reasons.

    Only £186 ($320)

        I know a few people that own the Zalman kit.. It works perfectly.. No noise and the cpu temps are equal or lower than with air.. It's a great kit, but a bit expensive considering what you get..

              Sounds good, I already have this case but it doesn't help with CPU fan noise:

                      I surely will be FUCKED

                      IIRC, it's best to run the system for 24hours when you first get it to make sure there are no leaks in the tubes before installing it.

                          That different it was originally designed for that, you blow hose. The car overheats you fixed it , use water to wash the coolant off the motor and your fine.

                            I'm happy with just my Sonata case. The problem I have with most HDD silencers and coolers is that they require 5.25" mounting. I don't have the room for all my drives!

                              Yeah I know

                              The Reserator is cool but there are MUCH better kits out there... couple a high end kit (for around the same price as the Reserator) with an Antec P180 case and you have one badass system. The P180 case has an extra compartment for holding the radiator inside the case (or a 2nd power supply)

                                Any links to good kits?
                                I want a full kit without having to purchase each part, I know a custom system would be better but I don't have the time to put it together

                                Once I install the system can I easily remove it and put it in a new case? That Antec P180 looks sexxy

                                      I will be using liquad cooling for it. You can get an electric spray that you spray all of your components with in case of a leak. Leaks are extremely rare though and will almost never happen if you set the system up right.

                                              I've seen a couple... I would be far more scared of an A/C unit producing condensation than a water cooling kit leaking

                                              Here is one that came out this month:

                                              or how about a mini A/C slot? lol...

                                                      Good to know, thanks

                                                      I don't play much games but I ordered BattleField 2 yesterday, as I get very bored sometimes

                                                      BTW, I ordered Zalman RESERATOR1-PLUS kit, thanks for the advice GFYers
