Hey everybody, I want to do a major upgrade to my comp, and in doing so, I'd like to Watercool the 2 Video Cards, RAM, and Hard Drives, I'm planning on getting a custom case through wahoocomputers.com, and I was wondering if these parts would be good in a pre-built setup...

Danger Den Black Ice Xtreme III Radiator
2X Koolance Liquid RAM Cooler
Koolance HD-55-L06 Hydra-Pak HDD Cooler

They will know what kind of reservoir, pump, and water blocks to install, but These parts sounded like they would be very good. Also, I'm wondering, since a 1/2" system sounds best, the only problem would be the 1/4" tube size restriction on the RAM and HDD cooling blocks.. but I dunno, I'm also considering to add a peltier system to the video cards as well. Help me out here guys...

Hello and welcome to the water cooling section. Before you finalize your parts order I'd have yourself a look around here first. There's a wide selection of ideas on how to build a great WC setup. Personally I'd just stick with cooling your CPU/GPU(s) but some wish to venture out and WC everything they can. The choice is yours. If you need to brush up on water cooling knowledge then you definately came to the right place.

My 2 cents: Don't cool your hard drive, RAM, or your Motherboard Chipset. Cooling these parts with anything other then decent heatsinks is a waste of time, money and pressure/flow in the loop.

Reasons: your hard drive/RAM/Chipset will not get hot enough for these to increase performance or stability.
I'd recommend the Zalman ZM-2HC2 for your hard drives, the Thermalright NB-1 for your chipset if it will fit, and get some decent RAM with heatsinks already on it...they will cool just fine. I have the Zalman cooler, it's great. I would also have the thermalright heatsink if it would fit on my motherboard, but it also doubles as a nice paper weight

Skim the latest threads for the other parts. I've personally listed the parts I like about 5 times today...makes me think I should just save a list and copy and paste it
