Over the last year and a half I have worked on two computer systems and both have been with integrated water cooling. It's been a interesting and expensive journey and one which has had its share of ups and downs. There have been times where I would spend hours on solving what finally turned out to be extremely small issues and there have been times that wiring and tubing confused the hell out of me. I have had my share of burnt pumps, tubing that just would not bend, wrong fittings, leaking parts, a acrylic that was too easy to stain. But through all of this, I also enjoyed extremely great temperatures, low sound, superb overclocking and the respect and love of all of you here.
Today, my aim is to help all of you to take the same route that I took one and a half years ago promising all the help that I can along the way. I will be happy to answer any questions that you have and help out with choosing parts and configs. I hope this guide will be of great help to all the aspiring water coolers here.
I will try and break this article into a few parts to make it easier to understand and also easier to search:
1. Parts of a Water Cooling System
2. Water Blocks
3. Pumps and Reservoirs
4. Radiators
5. Tubing and Fittings
6. Fluids and Anti Bacteria/Algae
7. Setting it all up and Leak Testing
8. Where to Buy and Conclusion
Before I go into specifics, I hear a lot of people asking, "Why Water cooling???"
Well, its a great way to cool your computer to better levels than an air cooler can
Its a lot more quiet
And......
Well, its a lot more sexay.....
