first time in watercooling
 

hi guys, I'm pretty new at these forums, but I've think I'll find the answers to my questions here :o so lets get started.

I'm going to buy a new case, but this casemod has to be very quiet. Because the sound of my 6 casefans @7v and my Ys-tech (on alpha) are starting to annoy me.

so I'm going to switch to watercooling. the case I'm going to use will probably be an aopen H700.

first question: what waterblock is the best for my XP2400?? dangerden Maze 3 or the innovatek rev3 waterblock?? or another one.

second question: what rad is the best?? Maybe I can get a radiator of my brothers old car, it's a civic (older model and is total loss) or should I get a black Ice ???

For the pump I'm going to get an eheim 1048, and a reservoir for that pump, but does it mather which one, the aluminium, the plexi or the plastic???


and is it worth to cool the northbridge with water?? I've replaced the standard northbridge cooler by one off zallman

wel , the difference between the performance of a MAZE3 and a innovatek rev3 WB is verry low , i would recommend the MAZE3 just because he's cheaper.

the best rad is offcourse a heatercore of a care , and that of a CIVIC is Cu (checked on the internet) but get the rad wich suits you best and can get easily build into your case.


and for the northbridge cooling , if you overclock and it gets hot , watercool it. but that Zalman does his job quite nice , i think.

where can you get a H700 ?

rad: either a lowcos radiator.. or a dual fan heat transformer from shop.erfrier.net --> get all yer WC stuff there: price OK, lots of choice except for Dangerden stuff

Tnx for the replies.

I think I'll go for a black ice rad and probably the swiftech mcw5000 block


the case is available at actos and also some other shops
