External water cool kits

[barginbin]

I want an exteranl water cooled system for my PC system its a TT amour with a Intel core 2 duo (LGA775 socket) and want to know how much money a kit to do this is? I have seen the Nautilus 500 kit but dont know what much of the spec means (doh!) i have also seen the Koolance kits but they seem very exspensive or is this a realistic ammount of money to water cool a CPU?

Thanks for any help :worship:

would stay away from the kits (eg Koolance). You should build a custom setup. You can mount a rad externally and have the pump res internally.

Ok Thanks i dont really know what bits i need or how they connect up.

I take it you need

Pump

Res(whats that lol)

Rad

Water blocks

Then things like tubing and connectors etc

Also when buying them bits what should i be looking for?

 

[mrapoc]

res = resevoir (holds water) not needed though (google t-line)

thats fine. Will have some change too. Are you just wanting to do the cpu ??

Yes at the moment but would like the option to add a chipset cooler later if thats possible

Adding extra bits is part and parcel of watercooling

Thought so as you would just add another connector and more liquid

What pump,res,rad etc would you recommend?
