Well Im thinking of learing about liquid cooling. Not really sure if I want to make the plunge or not. If I did does this look like a good kit to start with? http://www.dangerden.com/store/extreme-cooling-kit-1-2-inch-tubing-with-240mm-radiator.html#tabs

I'd say the better way is to pursue your own liquid cooling build over a pre-built system.

That kit does not consist of great parts.

sidewinder is a good place, but its not about the place you go, its about the parts you use.

Most likely you won't be buying parts from a single manufacturer. Don't be afraid to mix up brands, standard connectors exist for a reason.
FrozenCPU and SidewinderComputers are good places to hunt for parts. Edited by ablahblah - 20 May 2011 at 4:44pm |

Well personally I'm not a big fan of frozencpu, they sent me some high cfm (200 cfm) fans, they get here, 4 of them are doa, I call them up, and they want me to contact delta, and say they haver nothing to do with it.

I have bought from performancepcs several times, and it's been a good experience each time.

Rasa 750 RX360 kit is a great place to start. Great block, great rad, the pump is ok for just a CPU loop, could probably use some better tubing eventually though.

I thought that didn't have support for the 1155 yet, or does the 1156 plate fit the 1155?
