Does anybody here use water cooling and what are the best kits.
Let me know what results you get compared to air cooling and which ones are quieter.
With air coolers being as good as they are for a fraction of the price I really can't say it's worth it.
I assume your looking to overclock or a water kit is just a waste!
Air coolers from the likes of zalman are literally whisper quiet and a world apart from the bog-standard stock coolers you get with retail kits.
If it were me?
Get a decent air cooler!
I would tend to agree with sean, top end air cooling is almost as good as low to mid range water cooling and without the risks. Having said that i can recommend the Thermaltake range i have had a bigwater se and a 745 kit though i couldn't get the dual rad to fit in my case so never used it making it a 735 kit effectively.
Also don't be fooled into thinking water kits are quiet, they aren't unless you have big rads and slow fans, to keep my opty rig reasonably cool i run the fans at i guess half speed and it's no quieter than a reasonable air setup but its a bit cooler.
