I wanna switch to watercooling that's easy to maintain...any cheap and good ones?for around $100~200

[bongholio]

you looking for a kit or custom build? im selling my corsair h50 if you're interested. just check my thread below..

***Watercooling stuff - Corsair H50, Swiftech GTZ-SE, XSPC reservoir***

[inxlee]

get the corsair h50. easiest and prob the cheapest solution. but would advise you to go high end air cooling instead.

[blackdra19]

why high end air cooling?although i know that air cooling is easier to maintain than water cooling..

[blackdra19]

and being a total noob at watercooling,mind telling me the basic components to get them running?

[lzxhenry]

BASIC - Pump, Reservoir, CPU Waterblock, Radiator with (Barbs, Tubings, Coolants).

Extras would be adding in Chipset Waterblock, GPU Waterblock.

I would advice check out the project log of many of our fellow forumers great work. understanding their parts used etc..

Project Logs - VRForums - IT & Singapore Lifestyle Community

Websites to check out on custom watercooling parts overseas and local:

Sidewinder Computers - Supplier of High Quality PC Modding and Cooling parts

Performance-PCs.com, ... sleeve it and they will come

Edge2o - Watercooling Online Store (Singapore) Local

so if i really do use the corsair H50, wat pump,reservoir,radiator,cpu waterblock,gpu waterblock,chipset waterblock do you recommend?and an agar agar estimate of the money needed?

Bout $300-$400SGD Custom loops i est.

Everything from Edge2O

I suggest that you consider 2 very basic options first. Fixed water cooling kit, like the Corsair which others have mentioned. Or custom set up.

For fixed kit, you have simple advantages like:
1. Low maintenance.
2. Decent performance.
3. Relatively low cost.

Some disadvantages like:
1. Non-upgradeable.
2. CPU or GPU only cooling.

I think you should be able to Google around for the different types? Read up some reviews? Do your own homework? Cost, you can easily find out yourself...

For custom set up, you have a lot more issues to think of.
Basic -> Tubing size, rad size, space constraint in cases.
Advanced -> Pump type, reservoir?, water blocks?

You will also need to think about how to loop your tubing. Most cases are not build by default to handle custom water cooling set up.

Another big concern is cost. Custom water cooling set ups EASILY run up to more than SG$500. Also you run the risk if leaks if you are not careful.

Good luck.

Corsair H50 already a kit. all components for a cpu only loop are there already so no need to gather your parts. contrary to a custom build where you choose your own parts.

oohhhh.i see.
