Water cooling

[Kalgatha]

ok guys im looking into buying a water cooling kit in the next month or so. but i have never had one and don't know much about them...so what i would like to know is what is a good kit i should look into? are they hard to set up ect? also the ups and downs of water cooling thanx

DangerDen and Swiftech make really good watercooling parts.
You could go here and configure your own kit

I would try to get a radiator that has dual 120mm fans and also I would suggest 1/2 tubing, that alows better waterflow for better cooling. The only reason I would suggest not getting watercooling is if you go to a lot of LAN's. Other then that watercooling cools a lot better then air and is also usually a lot quieter.

this has just come to my attention, i don't even know if this is where the "chipset" waterblock goes but my 7800 is resting on top of a little fan on my MOBO. can i still put a chipset waterblock on it?

TRHe nirthbrisge chipset would be located on top of it. If it's over, then there's trouble
