New to WC with no clue

Drewcifer · 10-21-2006, 04:55 PM

Greetings. I've been searching and researching for months. I am trying to figure out exactly what components I need to WC my system.

AMD 2800
GA-7N400 Pro 2 Rev. 1
1 GB (2x512) DDR PC3200
ATi Radion X700 256 MB AGP

I would appreciate it if someone could list me the parts I need to cool the CPU and graphics card. Every kit I've seen is rather confusing and as much as I search forums, I just cannot find the exact information I need. It doesn't have to be an ultraquiet system (I have 5 fans running in it now, 2 PSU, 2 exhaust both rear and top, 1 large CPU), I can put up with a little dB's. I've sent messages to Danger Den and they told me that they don't carry the CPU cooler I need. They wouldn't give me a list so I could search out the components myself.

Nothing is overclocked and I have plenty of space in the case to work with. I think I'd prefer internal cooling as I have 2 UV lights and I plan to add UV additive to the water for more effects.

Thank you in advance for any and all assistance.

Add in some hose clamps and coolant;

Radiator: http://www.dangerdenstore.com/produc...&cat=76&page=1 or cheaper and probably not much performance difference: http://www.dangerdenstore.com/produc...&cat=86&page=1

Since you are still socket A, there's a good chance you could save a few sheckles by buying your block used. Dig around the FS/FT forums here and elsewhere. Does the x700 get hot enough for watercooling? I would think a passive heatpipe would do it.

I always have to ask this question of someone who is considering WCing.

How much do you want to spend?

You seem to have stated you position on everything else.

One thing I would like to also ask is how long (through how many upgrades) do you want to keep you new WCing system?

I spent a lot of time reading at overclockers.com in the watercooling section. If they still have all their old articles, they have people's homemade rigs from way back during the time watercooling was just starting to be known, all the way up to the current day stuff that people are using now. Later I found out about procooling and got a lot of ideas from the projects here. All of that reading and looking at pictures of peoples W/C rigs really influenced the different water cooling systems I built and the revisions of them. Lots of great idea are in those articles. Check it out.
