Ive posted on this boards quite a while ago about making my own watercooled system. I may have the funds to do so soon so I would like to try and organise some sort of parts list so I can check for prices.
I live in the UK so most things are probably not sold here.
Ive decided on the Ehiem 1250 pump. Expensive but it seems to be the best all rounded pump available.
I would like to cool the cpu, my geforce4 and my northbridge. The graphics and chipset are a target to kill the small fans and noise. Benefits from cooling these parts with water I have heard are rather minimal past the reduction in sound. Ive mainly looked at Dangerden blocks especially the Maze3 and Maze3-1. Any other recommendations on waterblocks and what is the difference between the Maze3 and Maze3-1?
Next comes Radiators. Im 100% i couldnt make a half decent shroud for a heatercore myself so Im thinking of a radiator with a shroud on. Ive been looking at the Black Ice Xtreme radiator. There is also the OCPC Neptune 'The Deep' on one of the sites Ive been looking at. Are these any good? Any special revision or improvement Id need to look for if these are good?
Also, do I need a resevoir? Im still relatively learning and Ive got plenty of time to learn if you can teach
Id appreciate some more information on this subject. Pictures nd advice would be gratefully received.
