What am I looking at spending and what am I looking at getting for a good loop that I can rely on for lots of gaming and every day use? Again, I know nothing about this so all help is appreciated XD. Also, cost is not a factor, I will do what I must when it comes to computer parts for my gaming machine XD. Thank you pplz <3 |

Phase is not a loop, its a single unit cabable of taking your heat source (CPU/GPU/NB) into sub ambients. it uses the same technoloy as an airconditioner or freezer, HVAC and Phasechange. I suggest getting a custom built one, only builder that lurks here is NoL and he's booked... basic single stage unit tuned to max load, gassed etc, will cost you around $600 USD + freight and customs... I've looked into it before, and someday I'll get one... but for you now, I'd say go look at a TEC, and fstfrddy's V8P waterblock
