from what ive learned about building a couple of boxes is that you can save alot of money by buying the right gear the first time.

so with that said, maybe those who have paved the way through the world of shty water cooling could grace me with their knowledge and advice so i dont do the same thing with this endeavor.

im trying to stay under 400.00 and put all this in my already packed antec 900

stay with your 300 if you get a new case you will definitely go over the 400 dollar budget. as for the cpu block go with the koolance and maybe a better pump and rez its better to have two separate things than having to buy the two cause one isn't working. trust me it has happened to me before

im not adding the case in this cost

what would u suggest for pump and res

another thing.....

i chose the high speed fans because i think more air = cooler temps

i dont care about noise, i just want that cpu to turn into an ice block

I prefer the koolance's block for the CPU than the DangerDen. Also check the Heatkiller block.. very good performance and value-for-money.
The radiator is good but for more blocks you will need to get additional radiators in the future.
Pump + res kit is ok.. and particular this one from koolance is very good. But I always prefer to get separated pump and reservoir.. The 450s from koolance and one reservoir from EK or the inline v2 makes a good combination, and more cheap than this kit.

i choose this kit bc of my lack of space in the 900

i agree with the pump and rez that is what i am getting as soon as i get money to water cool again


i understand the lack of space but you can put it outside let your creativity run wild.

and if the case is not added to the WC budget go for it thats is a nice case i would get it if i had the money

Sleazebagger

so what kind of pump and res?

thanks

In order to get better temps choose wisely the fans for the radiators.
You need as much static pressure as possible.
The best results comes with push-pull configuration, a lot of air static pressure and using shrouds with fans.

turn the cpu into an ice block?? build a chiller from a refrigerator
