Hey Aspire,
What do you think of the new cool kits at petra's?
Specifically the Rev. 3. It seems to have most of the items you usually quote.
How do you feel about it for value for a start up "kit".
Not for me but for people asking in general.
The Cosmos S will house a Swiftech MCR-320 in the top without modding.
This question has something to do with liquid cooling. I am at the point where I am ready to make a decision on what cooling system I want, I just need some guidance to it. I am looking at the Zalman Reserator 2 for my cooling system. It is an external system which I don't mind at all. I just want to make sure that it will cool what I want cooled. I have a ASUS Rampage II Extreme with Intel i7 920 processor and EVGA GeForce GTX 260 (x2). Also I would like to cool my north and southbridge. Do you think that the Zalman Reserator 2 will be able to handle all of that or would I have to keep searching.
Thanks,
Big props for making this guide. Great to see a dedicated water cooling part of the forums.
I would suggest for people who are new to watercooling, who may not be confident enough to put together their own loop from scratch, to check out Danger Den's kits.
Danger*Den*::*Water*Cooling...
They're really popular around these parts since they're local. Great company, really nice guys. They put together a lot of rigs for PDXLan and debute their cases there. I used their Waterbox Plus kit in a previous build and couldn't have been happier with it. Most of them are around $200.
I have a couple of biffs with their stuff.
Their top of the link cpu block can't compete with any of the top offerings now available.
Their full cover blocks are significantly more expensive than those sold by Koolance and EK.
The Black Ice Extreme radiators are really not great, they need very high cfm fans to perform at all.
Swiftechs stuff is just a lot more thought out.
But props to them for helping support the community so much.
