Hi everybody! I am building a new computer and no I do not need help picking out core parts, I have already done that. I am planning on doing my first water cooling rig and I want to buy a water cooling kit. So this is where I am stuck at. I want a water cooling system that will be quiet (at idle and load) and that will be at room temp when at idle and no more the 40°c when at load (this is targeted not reality). They both need to be expandable so I can eventually add a GPU cooler.
I am looking at these two systems:
Thermaltake Bigwater 745 Liquid System
or
GIGABYTE GH-WIU02 3D Galaxy II Liquid Cooling
I have no idea which one is better then the other. I am looking forward to your input!
This is the rig I am buying after Intel price cuts, and when Amd/ATi release their new beastie.
