Posted: Sun, 17 Apr 2005 02:07:33 Post Subject: Water cooling waterblocks/pumps
I'm considering going into Watercooling, I purchased a CM stacker case, a 2x80mm radiator, and a decent sized reservoir. I'm not planning on going straight to water cooling until I upgrade to a 64-bit system. What's your opinions on who makes good water blocks, and pumps? I mostly get my supplies from Xoxide, but they have a rather small selection. I got my other stuff at a site I've never shopped at before. So any information on what y'all might use or prefer would rock. Thanks!

Well after no reply and being quite impatient I went with a Swiftech MCP650™ 12 VDC Pump pump, which seemed nice and high flow. My choice of a waterblock isn't the 'best' choice simply because it doesn't cool as uber as the rest, but it will work on my socket A, and on my socket 939 when I decide to upgrade. I went with the Zalman ZM-WB2. _________________ Nothing says good job like a firm open palmed slap on the behind.

It's currently sold out, they're sending 1 of the 2 bottles I ordered.
It's on the expensive side, but not as expensive as if I sprung a leak.
According to their e-mail it should be in stock by the end of the week again. _________________ Nothing says good job like a firm open palmed slap on the behind.
