I think I'm ready to take the plunge. What is the best water cooling kit out there that comes with enough goodies that I can also water cool my two 7900gt's? Or will I have to add and piece together a kit.
I'm never ready to take the plunge. Many users here would say different but I'd advise against watercooling. Unnecessary and unreliable.
well i have a thermaltake big water i could use it for my cpu and video card I bought it for 80bucks check this thread to prevent leaks http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/382083
There are numerous steps you can take to prevent leaks, but I like to not have to worry about trusting it. Air cooling is more than good enough for a system of my spec.
dude no offense but were not talkin about u and ure pc were talking about his pc and some people prefer liquid cooling for overclocking and because it is quiet unlike fans
That's true, but I just thought I'd offer my advice. I actually know of air cooling solutions quieter than some water cooling systems. The best water cooling systems are ones like the Zalman reserator that don't use any fans. lots of WC kits do, and some even use silenx fans (rated at 14dB so people think they're quiet. 14dB at 5m! LOL)
Yeah, I'm worried about leaks. I really need to water cool, because of the layout of my mobo, i need alot of air. The NB is right in between my two 7900s.
Unfortunate but not undoable, you could attach a fan at that strategic location and it'd do the job just as well, cheaper and more reliable. If you can attach a fan to an area of the board blowing across the northbridge and over the 7900GTs, it should circulate a bit of air and help cool them.
I've been running Thermaltake's "Big Water" (CPU only) on my Intel 3.2Ghz Prescott for over a year now. I've had no leaks and temps are on the low end of normal operating range. Kit only came with CPU block, you will have to buy graphics cooling blocks to go with kit. I think you'll find this to be true with almost any brand you choose to go with.
