I'm currently building a new system, here's where I'm at so far:
CPU: FX-55
MB: NF4 (undecided)
Video: XT PE or SLI 6800GT (undecided)
Ram: (undecided)
Storage: (undecided)
DVD: Lite-On 832s
PSU: Ultra X-Connect 500w
Case: Thermaltake Tsunami Dream
Water Cooling: (undecided)
Audio: Audigy 2 ZS
Speakers: Klipsch 5.1 Ultra
I've never overclocked before but I'll be learning to do so with this system. Since NF4 boards are not out yet I decided to spend some time and get my watercooling set-up worked out. Not sure I want to build a watercooling rig from scratch, though I'm willing to do so if there enough advantages to it. I'd prefer to purchase a complete watercooling unit, and save myself the hassle of researching all the components and assembling them.
Most of the reviews I've seen of complete units seem to be a bit outdated, and by far the most of them are to be for kits.
What would you recommend for a nOOb like me to (get my feet wet:laugh😉 with watercooling a system?
- Complete unit?
- Kit?
- Scratch?
I'd prefer to emphasize performance, sound level, and ease of setup over value here...any recommendations?
