iv seen it for more at other places what do u guys think for easier water cooling i wanted someting easy and like around 100 dollars and this meets it but idk about the performance.... any suggestion! ty
 
It's about as good as a stock heatsink/fan but quieter.
If you want to get started in watercooling I say don't bother unless u got $150.00 plus to spend on it. Not worth getting these cheap kits.
Try looking into building your own kit.
or get a Swiftech or Asetek kit.

P.S
I just looked around at Dangerden and they got some nice kits for $150.00

dont worry about looking for a "easy"kit. Watercooling is VERY easy. If you can mount a heatsink on your processor and clamp a hose you are good. trust me on this.

Before you buy do the three R's.
READ
RESEARCH
REPEAT x2
 
xoxide has some kits that are good for a cheap price, im personally getting this one:

http://xoxide.com/thermaltake-bigwater-745.html

on Xoxide it costs $132 while on frozen cpu it is over $160, but this is just a short term solution until i have the money to build a whole new rig with either a very nice water cooling system or phase change cooling, what do yall think of this kit, is it any good
 
Cheap watercooling sucks... really badly. It's only as good as stock or maybe a teensy bit better in some cases. You should/could build your own from scratch, and by that I mean buy all the parts separately. You could even try things like buying a ford F150 heatercore for cheap cheap and using that as your cooler. Actually a friend of mine has a water cooling setup that uses an f150 heatercore he pulled off a busted truck a while ago, I must say that it works like nothing else. Danger Den makes some pretty good parts for water cooling, I'd suggest looking there for some stuff.

If you don't have the money or time for a good watercooling setup, then please for the love of god, instead of getting a crappy one, get aftermarket air cooling instead, like a scythe ninja or a Zalman CNPS9500. Getting crappy water cooling only makes you look like a dork.

*cosigns*
See he basicly just said what I said.
Thats two points for skiping the cheap crap

2 points DangerDen , 0 points Thermaltake and other cheap kits

It's not even worth getting one of these cheapos for temporary basis.
I know this, I went down this road twice with cheap kits. It's not worth doing. It might look a little cooler than aircooling but your temps are gonna be like 45c Learn from my mistakes and just skip over this.

Give us a budget and what kinda processor you putting it on and I'll see what I can do.

Another thing, what are you looking into watercooling for?
There are only 4 reasons for watercooling.
1. Lower temperatures for further overclocking
2. Silence
3. Extension of your E-penis
4. Combination of any of the first 3

if you chose 1:
That thing is gonna give you shit for temperatures

If you chose 2:
hmmm it will probably be quieter than a standard heatsink/fan *maybee*

If you chose 3:
I will look you square in the face at a LanParty and call you a nub. And everyone around will laugh at you and your box.

If you chose 4:
You need to do some research
 
the nautilus isn't bad really.
Not bad at all.
I just personaly don't like extra junk to lug around to a LAN. So i always opt for the internal system. but i guess if you dont pick up your computer very often its great.

I never tried the galaxy tho myself.
 
I use the Gigabyte 3D Galaxy kit myself on my Athlon64 3200+ Venice Core (running @ 2.8GHz). And it rarely ever goes above 33C under load. When it sits at idle it usualy is around 28-30C. Which it pretty much ambient air temp around here. The last time it hit 35C I found a Dust bunny had gotten stuck on the radiator. I removed that and cleaned it up and it went right back to normal.

The only issue I had with it was the angle at which the water connections are in relation to the block itself. It was a bit tight with my motherboard's (MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum) layout with the cpu socket, APG slot, and ram slots. But it fit once I rotated it 90 degrees. I do like the fact that is does include a fan that mounts onto of the cpu water block to move air over the mosfets and memory.

Believe me you will like it. I know I like mine.
