Koolance has a prebuilt system called the Exos 2 and Dangerden has all kinds of watercooling components.

yes ive saw i put a list togeather of what im thinking of getting.


found water cooling parts and what id like to use.


first the cpu block: is a dangerden TDX copper or (silver if the price drops)
its for athlon 64 sockets: 754,939, and 940
---

Now for the Reservoir: looking at the TANK-O-MATIC

now for the Radiator: for the radiator i have my mind set on the BLACK ICE EXTREME III at 1/2 inch but might choose 3/8 instead


Now for the PUMP: not sure but i hear the dangerden d5 is a good and powerful one


Now for the HOSE: probally TYGON 1/2 inch or 3/8 (read on forum tygon is the best and most flexible,nicest tubing)

Now for the clamps: probally stainless steel metal ones or maybe plastic (doesnt matter but i prefer the metal ones)


Now for the chipset block: not nessasarry but would be nice currently looking at the dangerden TDX chipset block for the ASUS a8n-sli deluxe

Now for the GPU block: dunno yet but want 2 have a awsome 1

Now for the radiator im choosing to use 3 120/120/38 panaflo fans yes i know they are pretty loud does do a hell of a job.

i wouldn't get a chipset fan because it reduces your flow

What do you mean yuanji? He is considering a chipset block, not a fan.
