Watercooling Setup

[L0HpT]

Hi im new to these forums.
Im switching over from air cooling to watercooling .. one because of the noise and two because of temps.
I have a 1.2 ghz tbird and i get hit 10x140
but it crashes during 3d and i know with watercooling i could hit 1500 maybe more.
I wanna get a watercooling setup .. i would like something basic for now since this is gonna be my first watercooling setup.
I was thinking about the Aquastealth II kit with the dual radiator ? or getting the DD Maze II and the DD Cooling Cube ? if i bought the danger den stuff i would be the aqua cube or the luefkens cube that has the resivior and pump together .. also i dont think im gonna get a peltier at first im too scared about condesation, i migth add one later on if i need more cooling. I will putting all this in a Supermicro 750A full tower .. i plan on mounting the radiator above the psu with a 120mm fan blowing on it and 120 outside the case behind it sucking out . and a 120mm fan in the lower front blowing on the resevior / pump ...
any advice u can give me on this would be appreciated .. also wut kind of temps can i expect .. 20's C idle ??

heh..I first started watercooling with the idea that I was going to reduce noise...but 2 radiators and 4 120mm fans later, it's noisier than before....

so since my computer is up against the wall that has the garage on the other side of it, I just punched a hole through and ran all my tubes through the wall, so that my radiators, fans, and pump are in the garage...when I turn my power button on, I have to struggle to listen for the blue orb on the chipset

When I switched over to water cooling I was worried about the same things. I run and AMD T-Bird 1.33ghz overclocked to a 1.5ghz. Now the 1.33's run cooler then their predessors (your chip) but you can expect temps between 70f and 80f, The cool thing About water cooling is that it does a lot better than HS/F when the CPU is under load. Where your CPU under load will be in the 80f to 120f. You would probably will not see 100 deg with a water colling system. I run a modified verson of the Aqua Cube(Rio 180 pump) , which has a mag-drive impeller, and goes for around 180 gallons an hour, very quiet, it is a nice pump. But when you do your water cooling, take this advice. At every hose junction use a hose clamp or two, learn about "Conformal Coating." (water proof agent for your mother board, in case of a leak)

Good Luck

This is kind of throwing out an ad for myself, BUT. I have some fittings that never need hose clamps and will definately not leak. I use them throughout my whole system and like them enough that I made a deal with the distributor. So now I sell them through my site. Along with some very good 12 volt pumps and those little grey electrical box reservoirs. I'm going to be selling my line of waterblocks, just waiting on the bank to let me get some more equipment. If you'd like to see how my fittings work go <A HREF="http://liquidcool.org/main.php?zone=500&keyword=how_to_use_dmfit">here</A>. As to your setup make sure you get a pretty good sized radiator. Your gonna need it, especially if you use a pelt...
