I'm looking to water cool my fx 57 with a view to overclocking it, possibly my graphics cards aswell
Can anyone recommend a good cooling setup

budget?

Case?

Budget - Any, but dont want to go into phase change cooling

Case - I'm using a cheap thing at the moment, ca you recommend a good case aswell

Budget large?

Then custom it... ~ 400 dollars is a good amount to grab.

Want to get most of watercooling, but not so extreme?

upgrade radiator to the 320-QP

Add a swiftech micro reservoir.

For your GPU blocks, i wouldnt recomend Full Cover if your SLiing. The restrictions will cause your CPU temps to rise.

So 2 x MCW60. They should mount on the 7900's without any problems. However if you really want full cover blocks, and dont mind a 5-6C load temp difference on your CPU:

I recomend that.


The case:

CM STacker T01.

Cut the bottom out more, so you can lay the 120x3 radiator on the floor like this:

That should give you some decient performance. And also not break your wallet.

If your interested in the 400+ package i mentioned above, pm me. The parts list might get kinda messy.
