n1ckkkkk Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Why would you water cool the 8800gt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cefdinir Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 yea seriously and you buy water cooling in parts not a whole system -tubes -reservoir -pump -radiator -water block(s) -coolant Don't forget fittings. Are you doing any overclocking and what speeds? What are your idle and load temps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma# Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 (edited) if you really must get water cooling try the AIO kits, (this one is CPU-only) CoolIT Domino A.L.C. review CoolIt domino ALC is the name CoolIt is a Calgary-based company FYI. Luckily since I live in Calgary, it's awesome for buying cheap (well at least for this stuff) xD I own it and it's decent if you're looking for an entry-level way into water-cooling. I personally prefer if you're looking into pro stuff, not to get it. Edited June 14, 2010 by enigma# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally prefer if you're looking into pro stuff, not to get it. I wouldn't get the Domino, there are so many stories of it exploding, and whatnot. Just Google it, "Domino Water Exposions" I would get the CoolIt Eco, instead.

Cefdinir Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Not to forget about Corsair's H50 as an alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fox* Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 just get some cold water and just pour it on the mother board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cisco Posted June 14, 2010 Author Share Posted June 14, 2010 (edited) Not to bash some of you but your no help at all my rig over heats because of how hot it gets in my room, Upgrading my rig will not help me when my room is 30 degrees Celsius. I am not looking for the best on the market. My Video card is overclocked and the reason for water cooling it is because it is a decent card for what I do and would like it to last another year or two. If I do buy the whole water cooling system I would be building my next rig around it which I planned to do. Mostly for now I am thinking about water cooling just the cpu and see how that goes Edited June 14, 2010 by Cisco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly for now I am thinking about water cooling just the cpu and see how that goes ....then instead of 300-400 dollars on water cooling why dont you buy an air conditioner? then your computer and you are happy. and most of these people are correct in telling you to spend that money on a new video card instead of the cooling, yes your right about that card being powerful but i believe this card is better not clocked and wont need a loopy doopy system to cool it Newegg.com - EVGA 01G-P3-1467-AR GeForce GTX 465 (Fermi) Superclocked 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cisco Posted June 14, 2010 Author Share Posted June 14, 2010 Wow... wow is not what you would normally say. My room is not at this temperature all the time, and this is the only time i ever experience over heating issue. The whole reason for buying a cooling system will be to make my computer last until hopefully next summer where I can then afford to go all out and upgrade almost everything and have it all water cooled. Also to weeman, we have a/c. I just can't use it as I am not the owner of the house and cannot turn it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HyperC Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 K, well need more specs if you still would like help 1. The tower size you have and/or model? 2. Your graphic card is it G80 or G92? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike is Fr3sh Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I'm going to go to water cooling at the end of the summer. I am going to buy Koolance, because I heard their products are really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetiredTacos Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 So you're buying a watercooling system to cool your videocard or the cpu? both? There are air coolers for both that are more than adequate. A good water cooling system will run you over 300$. Apparently you are already decided that you NEED water cooling so I guess there is nothing to discuss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cisco Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 K, well need more specs if you still would like help 1. The tower size you have and/or model? 2. Your graphic card is it G80 or G92? 1.6 feet long, 1.5 feet high, 8 inches wide. No markings what so ever to say what type or model it is. and its g92. And to terry, as I have stated, the reason for water cooling is because of the temperature of my room. Air cooling would be fine with me but the issues with the air being hot and cat hair in my computer is what pushed me to water cooling. And i will be fine if it cost me 300 because i intend to reuse it in my next computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cr(+)sshair Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Noobs...ONLY GO WATER COOLING IF YOU PLAN TO OVERCLOCK. Upgrade your fans to higher RPM's and make a very good pull-push airflow. Should handle a warm room any day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
