Need A Good Watercooling Setup for Good Price

JdPower · Dec 28, 2006

Whats up guys. Well I want to get into the watercooling, but I don't want to spend an arm and a leg for it. I have AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 Clawhammer which is currently @ 2.705Ghz. I want to get some more juice outta this baby and I know I can with a WC setup. However, when its comes to WC I am the ultimate noob and don't know what I need (pump, radiator ect.) or what brand is good. Just a basic WC setup for my processor (socket 939) would sufice. Any suggestions would be great!

*All hardware is in sig....

many people here would disagree with me and tell you to go custom, but in my opinion since u expressed ur self as a noob at w/c (dnt woz im the same) i would recomend you go with a full kit, if you search the forums i have made a thread about what waterkooling kit should i get, it might help you out, i have 939 by the way so whatever the guys have suggested me it will work on ur cpu

here's ma thread, saves u searching

I'm very happy with my H20 system, it is a full system, no botching at all! Keeps my cpu & gpu @ idle @ 30*c - @ full, full load cpu 47*c & gpu 40*c

That's with only one rad with 120mm fan & 200ml external reservoir!

Looks real nice to with u.v additive!

Might have found one that works... Tell me what you think.

Kinda pricey, but seems suffecient. The only concern I have is where to put the Radiotor/Fan at?

That's like £100, the exact same spec from XSPC would be £85 - £90, so I guess it's a good deal!

The rad wants to be away from the internals, maybe mount it on the top of you case

P.S - Do you not get a gpu block w/ that system?

NO, you can buy it seperately tho. Just comes with the CPU block. Hmmmm I just don't know where I would put the Rad on my case (Antec Nine Hundred)
