:cool:

I am buying Chassis/Casing (Gigabyte) Mercury (GZ-FW1CA (ATS/ATB)) for installing these components.i.e. two (MSI) Geforce 8800GTX Graphic cards, (BFG tech) nForce680i motherboard, (Intel) X6800 core2Duo Processor, (Corsair) Dominator TWIN2X2048-6400C4D* memory, (Western digital) Raptor X Hard disk, (Creative) Xi-Fi Fatality1 sound card and DVD writer and Combo drive, and (Enermax) Galaxy 1000watts power supply.

I want to know that do the Liquid cooling solution installed in this Chassis/Casing is better than Air cooling Chassis/Casing. Any drawbacks or limitations. Kindly explain in detail.

Thanks!!!

I wouldn't think so. Gigabyte couldn't watercool a fish tank properly.

Look friend. Watercooling solutions cool only certain chips etc. Bes cooling strategy is to use watercooling on the chipset on your mobo and your CPU. The rest of the devices like your Creative X-FI, Hard disk, memory modules and other devices like power transistors and diodes should be cooled with air.

So a combination of watercooling and air cooling is the best possible solution.

Water cooling is a PITA, so I would recommend air cooling.
