cheapest and quietest watercooling
ok my fans have started to piss me off
i'm not really an overclocker so i only need something thats at least a bit better than stock cooling yes i have seen the GlobalWIN silent stream, i've read some bad reviews about it not being silent and i'd also like to use this same water cooling unit in future computer (cus i'm cheap  ) so i need one with a seperate waterblock unlike the GlobalWIN systemso any suggestions? lookin for preferally under 100USD but i'm willing to go a bit higher 125USD MAX THANKS  P.S. doesnt necessarily have to be a complete kit, i'll get parts seperatly if need be Last edited by completeandutterNEWB; 03-19-2004 at 09:04 PM. |

Well my Thermaltake Aquarius 2 (90$ from directron) is comming on tuesday, ill let you know how the install goes, i think its a good stepping stone into water cooling, now its not for the real hardcore overclocker but im shure you can get some good results with it.

Beat me to it FLG
 Fits the bill perfectly http://directron.com/a1604.html And a review: http://www.overclockercafe.com/Revie...ius/index.html Not exactly for extreme Oc'ing, but it is a quiet soulution... |

why not get an SLK-947U with a 92mm vantec stealth? cheaper and much more effective than low end watercooling. not just that, but its super quiet too. have you considered getting a fan controller to quiet down those fans?

The aquarius 2 is a very god system if you are not overclocking too much. I have the system in my dual xeon machine and it works really well .

i have the vantec fan controller but when i quiet down the fans hooked up to it, the case gets too hot and the thermal controlled fans not hoooked up to it go full power and are noisy
and i'll take a look at those heatsinks Tin What are a couple of good ones other than the SLK-947U? and how bout some good ducting stuff? also been thinking about those dual fan heatsinks so i can duct cool air right to the heatsink and then duct the hot air right out (using silent fans of course) and do they sell silent LED fans?
