i need some help
 

alright guys. im building a comp and i wanna H20 it but im confused. i wanna get the best preformance for my P4. here my ?'s

1. which Water block should i get?
2. closed or looped?
3. swiftech?? should i get it

i have about 100$ so help me out

i reccomend saving about another $100 first and then asking again

Second that.

I'm pretty sure I've broken at least $250, not counting the replacement mobo, and I've had my WC setup for two weeks. And the number is still growing....

And maybe you could expand on those questions a bit.

ok, i know what he is trying to ask here, but im just lmao at that!!!!! how about save $100 more, do some reading about wcing, then post...

WoW you guys are being kinda mean. Yes he could use another $100. But you can still help him here.

If you want to know the answers the best way to go about doing so, is to read all the articles on http://www.procooling.com , and as many other watercooling sites as possible. Then get a good idea of you goals. This is a very important part. You have to know what you want to get something that pleases you. A system designed for maximum cooling and mass overclocking, will be much different than a system designed for mild overclocking with low noise. After you know what you want, design what you think will do it. Post a clear and consise explanation of your goal, and your idea or plan. Ask for specific input to specific parts of your design.

Hope this helps,

Well I do believe what you want to ask is: Closed loop or reservoir?

To that question, I will offer this: The important thing is to make sure you have a way of trapping air. Whether you do this in a closed loop system, or with a reservoir, is more of personal choice and what works in your particular application. Personally, I like res setups, with pump inline.
