Components and costs of watercooling ???

[brucehao]

Hi,

I'm completely new to watercooling, and I'm wondering if you guys might do me the favor of listing the necessary components and their respective costs to get started with watercooling. Quality and performance are more important than price, but price is definitely a factor. So, please take that into consideration in your brand and product recommendations.

Thanks... I'd really appreciate any help whatsoever.

As much as I like the anandtech forums, for water cooling you are better off over at the
Overclockers Forum they have a water cooling forum inside the general
cooling forum. You will have plenty of reading to do there and all the opinions needed.

For a basic water cooling setup you will need.

CPU water block
Radiator
Hose
pump
fan for radiator

My home made setup cost around $100 for everything, but I only cool the CPU.
If you want to go nuts you can also cool the vid card, memory and other chips.

Cool... thanks.

I think I only need to cool the CPU.
