I just purchased the GTX 470 (haven't received yet), and I've heard they run loud and hot. I'm contemplating using liquid cooling on them, however I have no prior experience with a DIY liquid cooling kit so I'm looking on some parts advice.
Currently, I'm not looking to liquid cool my CPU since it is being liquid cooled by the Corsair H50, and has been OC'ed to 4Ghz. Temps are very low but it won't OC further due to (what seems is common) a glitch/disagreement with 64-bit OS'es.
So, basically, what parts do I need. Is it just the following, or am I missing something?
Pump
Reservoir
pipes
waterblock for the 470
coolant/liquid
radiator
Also, could you recommend me which products to buy? I'm guessing I don't need a very powerful pump or a huge radiator since I'm only cooling a single GPU.
Below is my current config:
Antec 1200
Corsair 850W PSU
MSI 790FX GD-70
AMD Phenom II x4 9565BE 4.0Ghz
2 x HD 4890 Crossfire (now replacing with GTX 470)
2 x Samsung Spinpoint 500GB in RAID 0
2x2Gb G.Skill Ripjaws CL7 RAM 1600Mhz
