Hey guys

well i want to get water cooling for my rig but i am a complete noob when it comes to water cooling. I really dont have the money for a 300dollar water cooling set up but maybe a 150-250max set up would be great

i was looking at the corsair nautilus 500 or the corsair COOL

ty for any help you can give

Check out the Corsair Nautilus 500
All you will need after that is a water block for your GPU

The Cool is more upgradable as everything is is not in a prebuilt enclosure. It all depends on if you are looking for ease of use or performance and the ability to upgrade.

You might also want to take a look at Swiftechs kits, their CPU blocks are some of the better performing blocks out there and they are priced inline with most other quality kits.

And they just came out with a super looking APOGEE block (GTX) if looks are important to you.

If all you're looking to do is build a silent system, then the Zalman will work just fine in most cases, unless you have a extreme top end system.
The unit wasn't designed to handle any sort of OC'ing and will heat up rapidly...............

no, noise isnt really why i want water cooling, i want water cooling so i can oc more, i would love to have a complete water cooled pc oced 2 the max. cuz right now i have e6300 oced to 2.7ghz and it wont go any further.(cuz i tightened timings instead of gettin another 200mhz out of cpu)(+mch voltage just refuses to work @1.85) i want a kit that will lower my temps alot and the silent aspect of it is just an added bonus :D i wouldnt mind a loud kit if it was very good at cooling. i need a kit that i could install :D and btw this would be my first kit. and say i were to get the corsair cool, how would i go about adding vga,north/south bridge,hd, and possibly ram add ons? and would it be able to handle it
