Anyone watercooling their computers? Ive decided to go that route and wondered whether to try to build my own water cooling kit or buy one of the premade kits. I'm a little hesitant on getting individual parts cuz I'm afraid that the parts I get may be incompatible, but if you do enough research on which parts, it can be cheaper and more efficient. As for premade kits, I'm pretty much set on a Swiftech H20-220 APEX.

Also I've been thinking about just starting all over and buying a new case with a preinstalled kit like Koolace or Thermaltake or something. But they are pretty expensive. But then again, I like my Lian Li case. In the end, I think I'm going to get the Swiftech kit. Just want your opinions. Thanks!

lol all i can say is
get an expensive kit
u dont wanna end up with a cheap crappy one that bleeds into ur computer
and ur a brave person....im way too paranoid to put watercooling in my computer

I always wanted to, just lack funds

Visit hardforums overclocking and cooling -> water cooling.

I think a 1/2" system would be cheaper and BETTER than any kit you can buy.

something like that

they have some good parts andn theyre all intercompatible to some extent

Awesome, thanks for the link. Didn't know they have a dedicated forum for watercooling. I tried to search on tomshardware since that's the only site I use and they didn't have much on watercooling.

i once used a thermaltake kit - it was a good all-rounder. easy to install, silent when the CPU is cool, and cools pretty well too.

the radiator block was too big for the back of my case so i set it up on the top blowhole like this

they should've included a flow-meter though, it's impossible to tell if it's pumping unless you open it up and shine a torch into the reservoir.
