best Liquid Cooling Kit

Can you guys suggest liquid cooling kits. Also who make the best most complete kit? Can I purchase a kit that has the cpu heatblock, fsb heatblock, vga heatblock and even hard drive head blocks?
 
Oh boy!

Would you buy a pre-assembled outfit that included a sport coat, slacks, shirt, tie, cuff links, shoes, socks and underwear?
Would it fit? What if you didn't like the cuff links? Then there's the whole boxers/briefs thing.

Perhaps if you stated your cooling goals and budget, some constructive recommendations could be made.
And perhaps first reading some stickies and guides would help you frame those parameters.

Swiftech and Petra's shop offer some of the best "kits".

The last part of that response was all I was really looking for.

Avoid kits.

Do a bit of research. You'll be much happier that way. Water is not something you mickey mouse with.

If done wrong, the outcome will be terrible. If done half ass'd the results will be = to air.

List your budget what you want to cool exactly, and what its going inside.

petrakit isnt really a kit. Its a post packaged assortment of custom parts into a kit.

Here is one from Petra's.

Coolkit Elite

This kit has CPU and GPU. You certainly could add a northbridge block to it.

Here is a Swiftech kit. I linked you one in your last post about this subject.

Swiftech H20-220 Apex Ultra

This kit has CPU, GPU, NB block.

Do not include your HDD in a H2O loop. It is too restrictive and will hinder the cooling of your whole system. Same for cooling RAM via water. The only way I would consider water cooling a HDD and RAM would be if I did a separate low flow loop.
