So I decided to go with water cooling for the lower noise and the chill factor so I can OC higher. I've read guides, but they don't really tell me all the info I need.
So far, this is all I think I can be sure about getting:
1/2 inch tygon tubing
I just don't know how to tell what waterblocks are better than others, or even what radiators work best, or what pumps to buy. Can anyone help me understand how to make an educated choice on this stuff? I was told that I should go to petrastechshop.com and order there by a few buddies of mine.
Like I said, I have no idea how to choose. By the way, money isn't a big issue with this; I just don't want to spend too much more than $300, which I think is pretty reasonable, though I have no backing for that opinion.
