Help on Watercooling

Remember if you make a solution of distilled and pt nuke...don't drink it...tastes bloody horrible

try distilled + unflavored food coloring... YUCK!

anyway, more seriously, what are you planning to cool? your CPU or graphics cards? both? and your budget would be nice to know as well, we can put together some nice stuff for ya if we know the budget, if you dont want to do that yourself that is... just look around a few other threads, a lot of information is just repeated infinately anyway, so most shouldnt be hard to find.

Depends on what parts are in your computer

i was gonna be cooling the processor, ram and grafix card. i wasn't gonna drink it tho. anyways i'm not sure how much these systems cost but i would be looking at mid price range. thanks

I'm not sure how things are in the rest of Europe but I know in some localities distilled water can be hard-ish to come by. A lot of pharmacies sell deionized water which I would not recommend using (since it usually carries a with it some ion-exchange compounds) but with an appropriate quantity of anti-freeze with anti-corrosion properties should alright.

As far as the hardware itself... you might consider a 360 or 480 mm radiator (check out performance-pcs.com and Danger Den). Both of these places should also have water blocks for your processor and graphics card. Cooling your RAM with water might be a bit extreme although I believe performance-pcs also carries blocks for RAM. I've had pretty good luck with this pump. All in all you are probably looking at around $300-400 USD.

wouldnt cool the ram if you wanty to stay in the mid price range, usually not even the high end does that... its really for the extreme and show-offs... its basically useless, a an blowing over the ram cools it well enough.

anyway, products taken from here: http://www.watercoolinguk.co.uk/catalog/
radiator, XSPC RS360... 40 (all prices quoted are incl VAC)
CPU block, XSPC Delta V3... 39
Pump: Laing DDC1+, aka MCP355 (18W)... 53 (with XSPC reservoir replacement top... 20)
graphics: EK VGA Supreme... 35 (these should fit on all cards)

thanks guys thts a great help and not as expensive as i thought, i'll check out the the links rep+1 . theres no problem on the distilled water coz ma dads a science technician (i'm 16 btw) thanks

Ah, you have access to distilled water. That's good. I steal mine from the still in my lab. Just make sure the couple of liters you get has been freshly distilled. It gets kind of acidic over time. I don't know what kind of tech your dad is but if he has access to an natrium/sodium specific ISE and a pH meter you might have him do a quick assay (low sodium and other metals and pH ~7 = good).

he's science and thanks tht info will come in very handy rep+1 cheers
