Liquid Cooling

Does anyone have a liquid cooling rig set up on their system? Or, what can you tell me about liquid cooling set-ups? I have seen them priced anywhere between five-hundred dollars to seventy-five dollars. If someone could help advise me to what would be a good purchase then I would really appreciate it!

Bail: Basically they consist of what regular radiators consist of. A pump, a radiator and some tubing :P

Sared: I don't have one in this PC, but I can refer you to a friend or whatnot that has one to offer you his opinion on a specific model.

You can basically choose where you want your water cooling system to 'flow'. So put it wherever its needed.

But make sure you get something that won't break - or your PC is wrecked. They're mostly good though.

Crowded case? Check!
And the monster CPU fan/heatsink combo is NOT heling keep my interior case temp under 35 C.

Also, some sort of cooling options for RAM would also be pretty schweet.

It really depends on what you're running, or what you want to run as to whether a liquid cooling system would be of benefit to you.

If you're not using a lot of high-temperature products, or you don't have a crowded case, or you're not doing any overclocking, then its advisable to just not spend the extra money.

However, if you can't keep your systemp below about 28ºC, you might want to consider an extra case fan. If that isn't an option, then I'd advise water cooling.

But really, they're a little expensive to be worth it at the moment.

If in doubt - add a fan.

I'm actually quite interested in those too
How do they work?
And are they any good for overheating computers?
