New watercooling system

Nomad0 · 03-10-2002, 10:04 AM

Could anybody help me? I am going to build my new system - Lian Li PC-68, Athlon XP 2000+, 3 SCSI HDD 10000rpm, AGP Matrox 550 (I am not a gamer) - no overclocking. All I want - as less noise as possible. So I want watercooling but I have no experience in that fields. Now I have an Innovatek waterblock. What else and where should I buy (in UK)? Maybe you can sell me something?
Thank you.

Buy an Eheim pump, because they are very quiet, and get the largest possible heater core you can find, and run it with quieter fans, you also might want to look into hdd blocks just to keep your hdd's quiet

Thank you but - what Eheim (1o40,1080,1250)? And where (in UK)? And what about something else (a radiator, a tank and so on)?
Thank you again

1048 should be fine.

any eheim will do just fine, for a radiator, just use the heater core out of any car, just get one from a junk yard.

It also seems that the 80mm fans on the PC68 can be switched to 92mm fans with some modding, this could give potentially lower noise.
I would recomend HDD blocks for those SCSI drives.
