WC +Conroe Core

im pretty sure that you will be able to do that (if not further) on a basic air cooler, if not the stock one. umm that kit looks pretty decent but you would be much better of buidling your own wc setup
 
Building my own cause il get a better price or preformance?. I just want somone to point me in the direction of a really good Cpu cooler for O'cing that you can buy ready made if possible please.
 
better performance can be acheived by building your own custom wc loop

and it also looks better than kits imo,you can put together a top notch kit for £200-250 so i wouldnt bother with that £150 pre made kit tbh.

just my 2 cents ;)

cheers.
 
*cough* does not have time *cough* :P. Plus I prefer ready made stuff right now on my other PC.. Intel pentium 4 3Ghz with HT @ 3.6 my TT 112 with 1 90mm fan, Idles at around 47 C at 25 C room temp... Which is not good.. Max load around 58 C room temp 25 C. I don't want to have that kind of heat with my conroe.

You won't! Prescotts were very nasty for heat. Conroe are much more friendly, you only have to look at the clocks they are getting on air. If heat were an issue with conroe, they wouldn't be getting huge stable clocks from air cooling. I'd personally stay away from that cooling tower you linked to at the top of the thread, why pay that amount of money to dedicate just to the CPU? Custom setup is the way to go imo, that's the way I'm going anyway and for not a great deal more than you want to splash out on the Thermaltake setup
 
Takes note :P thanks mate now you got me curious.. my dad has an extra porsche 911 radiator I wonder.......erm would it be possible? or would I have lots of issues with the pipes ect?. That would be funny... Conroe cooled by porsche.... :P. Seriously though can that kind of car radiator be used?
 
Sure can mate, that's how the original water cooling fraternity did it because radiators and CPU/GPU blocks for computer watercooling was unheard of. Improvisation ;) As the saying goes "necessity is the mother of all invention" As far as the porsche heater core, I dunno. The heater core I got allows me room for 2 x 120mm fans easily and 3 at a snug fit
 
Oh cool so it can be done *Thunder and Lightening in backround* ..... "It shall soon live Igor!!"... errr *resumes normal self*.. anywayyyy :P. Ok so basically what I would need is a compatible Cpu and Gpu block if necessary... * waiting for DX-10 got a X1900XT * Lets hope the Dx-10 cards don't heat up. Not to forget a nice pump should be going along with a Thermaltake Kandalf With 25cm side fan. Il try start up the project as soon as possible and tell you how it goes along the way..might perster you with questions though :P .
 
Yeah mate, start up a thread in the 'project' section and let us know what you already have, and what you aim to get. We'll see you in the right direction, plus you'll get more satisfaction by building it yourself. Looking forward to seeing your project thread real soon; anyway I'm off to class, I've gotta teach this afternoon...:)

Do not get that kit. That's all I have to say on the metter

Get a decent Heatsink/fan like the Scythe Infinity or the Tuniq Tower
 
Personally i can't comment on the Symphony kit - but having tested other TT water kits you will want to stay well clear (for the sake of your components if nothing else).

Normally i'd refrain from bashing products on the forum, but take heed to the warning - its for your own good ;)
 
Personally i wouldn't get that.. not only does it look ultra ugly but i don't want my gal to... how should i say it... fantasize/experiment :D :p
 
I have no problem bashing the hell out of that kit... Or any kit for the most part.

Kit watercooling is about the worst thing to ever make it to the computer scene. It's the biggest scam of all time. You'd achieve better temps and much less hassle by just buying a nice HSF. TT watercooling = teh mad sux0r.

If you're going to watercool, do it right and build your loop from the ground up using quality components.
