Which watercooling kit?

[karolpl2004]

Hoping to get a watercooling kit. Which one is the best one? I am running a amd xp 3000+ socket a, and ati all in wonder 9800.

Thermaltake Bigwater 745. Get that, a VGA waterblock, some copper RAMsinks for your VGA memory, and some heatspreaders for your RAM, and you are SET. Should run you about $200 on newegg.

What do you want from water cooling? Maximum performace? Silence? How much do you want to invest?

 

[karolpl2004]

max performance.

then you'll need a dangerden, swiftec, or asetek kit.

QFT.

Swiftech kit with Storm, or something like that... DD kit with TDX would also do.

i hate simplistic "what is the best" type questions.. nothing is the "best".. there are a million and one variables opinions and prices and lots of things are much of a muchness.. without a budget.. list of requirments and such its also pretty a meaningless question.. and unanswerable..

mind u it gets asked an awfull lot.. he he he

Guys I think he is asking which one of the three he posted to vote on .... which pretty much narrows it down ...

should i just invest in a expensive air cooling? i have a little sensor in between my fins of my hs, and the temperature is usually 90°F or ~32°C, yet is still get really bad FPS in battlefield 2. you think my vga might need better cooling? like that arctic cooling? or yout think my cpu (amd xp 3000+) is a piece of junk? my hard drive gets pretty hot too, might that need cooling?

if things get too hot they crash.. not go slower.. and sensors between heatsink fins dont say a lot.. i dont play BF2 but low framerates are more than likely down to your resolution or settings being too high for your older 9800 card i would imagine..
