Hi all!
I'm going to build a pc to hold me over for the next 8-12 months until I get some cash for a monster gaming rig.
The box I'm getting now will be used to game on and will eventually be moved over to the role of a multi-purpose server. i.e. multi-media work, rendering, file sharing, web-hosting, etc. At that time I will run it, as my current box is, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Any recommendations on a reliable cooling solution that will get the job done if never turned off? It'll be cooling a q6600 and single 8800gtx. (Both of which I wouldn't mind getting a little extra speed out of, but nothing excessive. ~10% OC on each.) The case I'm planning on getting will be a full tower (or super tower as I've seen some labeled) with more then adequate airflow.
Now, I've overclocked cpu's and gpu's and built my fair share of boxes, but I've never stepped into the realm of watercooling. Then again, I'm not afraid to jump right in and get my feet wet. (pun intended.)
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Oh, and assume I don't mind shelling out the cash for a decent cooling system providing I don't have to sell my first born to afford it.
Thanks in advance.
