Hey everybody I've got a few questions I have a corsiar H50 right now in my system and I have fans as well in there. What I want to do is get it water cooled but when I look at certain systems that are avalaible they seem more complicated then its worth can anybody reccomend a system that works good and is easy to install. Also what can I expect with water cooling with my system I just don't want to get something that's going to break down my system in 6 months.

Thank you in advance

Either go with a real custom kit or get the Noctua NH-D14 air cooler. If you can't invest the time and money into a real water cooling solution, don't waste your time. The Noctua will outperform the H50. Only thing that really beats the Noctua is a good custom solution where you spend $300+.

Well money really isn't an object I ultimately want to do water cooling I just need help on what to buy and what's the best out there on a video where tiny tom logan said that there's a solution where you add dropps into the custom solution and it makes it stronger or weaker

What do you reccomend in tubes pumps resivores and radiators and everything if I can get a custom part by part or a whole kit is great

What to expect from water cooling depends on what your cooling how many components, Then you have to make sure your case has proper air flow or you will get heat build up in one spot vs another. also no matter what system you get or how many radiators you have it will not cool any lower then the ambient temp in your room or case depending on how u have it set up intake or exhaust. you will have to have a certain amount of radiators to cool your components. example if u have 1 120 radiator now cooling your cpu and it dose good and want to cool your video card as well you will probably have to add at least 1 240 radiator to the loop as well again just an example.
