You talking about doing your own LC system or having DS do it?

I don't have link for you to read about it but I'm sure you can find one with a quick search on the net.

parts all depends on your setup and what you want to achieve with them.

parts all depends on your setup and what you want to achieve with them.

what are you trying to do with this setup? achieve a high oc? or just have good temps with moderate oc? do you care about noise level? you want highend parts or midrange? are you putting cpu and gpu under lc or just cpu? so again parts all depends on your setup and what you want to achieve with them.

I don't know what part to show you, cause I don't know what you are trying to do.

for rads you can look at feser or xspc rx series rad, for cpu waterblock you can look at swiftech xt or heatkiller.

pumps are not that important, its either Laing DDC for swiftech. 3.2.

ok let me try to answer all the questions

1. General use with light gaming,and heavy multimedia

2. Nah

3. good temps with moderate oc would be fine

4. noise isn't a problem as long as its not high pitched any type of normal fan noise and such isn't really a problem as i got a fish tank in my room w/ the whole nine so it would drown out most noises anyway

5. mid range is fine but if i can get a good deal on high end im willing to go for it

6. seeing its light gaming more multi media i would think just CPU would be fine

Ok so cpu only.

now you we prefer triple rad for best temps, you need to decide on rad sizes (quad,triple,double,single) and where the rad is gonna go.

Again the bigger the rad the better the temps, but for your use a single would be ok, I would go with a dual or triple.

once you got that figured out, go xspc and grab that size in the rx version.

next you want to put like a 1400rpm Scythe gentle typhoon fan on it.

for cpu water block its between swiftech xt and heatkiller, take your pic.

pump I already mentioned, res is pretty much your choice, xspc or swiftech or bitspower, you need to see what you like.

for fitting and little stuff like that bitspower is a good way to go IMHO.

now all you got to do is read a good guide that explains things to you so you get an idea of what you are about to get into, put a valve or a Tline or quick disconnect at the bottom of your loop so that when you need to drain it, its easy to do.
