Intro watercooling system

[corwin]

I have been toying with the idea of going to watercooling to quiet some of my PC's. I came across info on the Kingwin Arctic Cooler and read some of the reviews which all seemed favorable but wanted to talk to others on here just to see some opinions from real people. Also if there are any other suggestions I would like to hear them. I am not doing any major overclocking but could at some point...

While price is not exactly an issue it seems like that would be much more $$$. And since I am not going extreme with overclocking and I am more concerned with noise that just seems a bit excessive. However if I were to consider it do they have full kits and not just pieces, would prefer something internal too.....

That unit you are interested in is noisy as all get out. If you are not ready to invest in water cooling, don't. Water cooling done right is cheaper in the long run because things like radiators and fans that are quality and pumps and reserviors you use again. You just trade waterblocks sometimes. And yes, the best water blocks are fully 50% more efficient at transferring heat than the cheap ones.

if you want quiet and only quiet get the zalman resorator, it should be quieter than ur hard drives, but they do have issues with pumps going bad the last time i checked and it will not keep ur chip much cooler than good air cooling.
