Need suggestions for watercooling kits?

Luis · 22-January-06, 04:58 PM

I need some help picking out a watercooling kit I'd like to hear your suggestions. I'm kind of tight on money so any budget kits that are pretty decent would be nice. I'm not looking to do any extreme overclocking or anything like that I just want my system to be a lot quiter. I'm mainly looking just to cool my cpu because it has that loudest fan in my whole system. It produces 48db I know that I could simply turn it down and that would correct the issue but I like having my cpu nice and cool. Right now it's a cool 27 degrees celsius. I also do a lot of gaming so I figure watercooling will help in that aspect too. Any kits you guys could suggest will be greatly appreciated. I know you guys won't let me down, I've been a member of pimprig for quite sometime now and any time I've needed help you guys have always come through so thanks again in advance.

Try Alphacool, their kits are top quality, easy to install, great performers and extremely affordable.

Just about any kit from Danger Den, Swiftech, Innovatek, PolarFLO, AlphaCool, or Aqua Computing will do the trick. It simply depends upon your budget.

I'm looking to water cool an Antec Aria. I want to mount a passive radiator on top of the Aria, and I can't find a radiator small enough. The smallest innovatek is the smallest I've found and I could make it work, but it would look like a crappy install. Is there a passive radiator that can fit cleanly on top of the Aria?

Also to contribute to the conversation, I think the Koolance and Innovatek water cooling kits are great. Everything else seems a lil cheap to me. Not partiularly bad, just not as good as the Innovatek and Koolance. Thermaltake is a great company, but I've heard more bad than good about their water cooling kits.
