Silent Watercooling - Component guide & Radiator shoot out

Posted by: Thomas Koflach on: 21-08-2011 [ 4 comment(s) ]

High-end systems can generate lots of heat. We investigate the wonders of watercooling and see if using an EK watercooled setup & Phobya/Alphacool radiators can help.

That's weird - I copied and pasted the link across and for some reason it added a 'amp' randomly in the middle :S

Total price of the active system?

Hello.
I would like to start by saying that your reviews are very well done, props!
I am a hardware freak and spend many hours reading news and reviews, but watercooling is one theme I just dont know much about. The problem is every GPU, for instance, has a different waterblock, has you said, and there are too many options to consider.
I have a good setup, I am finally happy with it but want to get rid of the noise all my fans make. This is my system:

Case: CoolerMaster Scout
Asus P8Z68-V Pro
Intel i5 2500K @ 4,6Ghz
4Gb DDR3 1600Mhz CL7
2 GTX570 in SLI
OCZ Vertex 60gb
2 250Gb in Raid 0 + 1 500Gb
Asus Xonar DX
Corsair TX-750w


What is the total price for the active system you reviewded in this article and how much do you thing I must spend to have a wattercooled CPU + GPU´s system? Do you have any recommendations fo me?
Thanks in advance. Keep up the good work!

Andre

Cheers for the feedback - always good to hear the hard work is appreciated.

Which active system in particular? As a rough figure, for a high end watercooling loop you're looking at £150-£200 for a CPU only loop, then £300ish if you want to chuck a GPU in there too.

It sounds like a lot, but when you consider most of the parts can be re-used in future builds, it's really not too bad.

Once you've got a budget in mind it would be a lot easier to decide on a spec.
