Post pics of your cooling setups. Air, Water and Extreme setups welcome!

true, but it also (I think anyways) will bring people who were scared of WCing into the realm of it, and I've noticed that once you start WCing, you tend to want bigger and better until you have a setup like yours!

Quoted for truth!

You also start looking at other peoples setups and dreaming of the perfect setup.

I have to disagree. I got a cooling kit and it was not very good. I'm now back to air cooling (although you can see where that got me, haha). I still think up dream systems with peltier cooled video cards, CPUs, Ram. Everything will be liquid cooled including the PSU and motherboard.

I have seen a lot of cheap kits out there, and heard really bad things about a lot of them. The one problem with watercooling is that to do it right, it really requires an initial investment of at least a couple hundred dollars. I was thinking it over the other day, and my current loop cost me almost exactly $600..

unless you are thrifty and paitent? lol.... my loop for blue storm is sizing up to be about 300 when all is said and done.. i guess i got lucky though

Haha, yeah, you did. That batch of stuff you got from blueonblack is worth about twice what you paid for it.

EDIT:
That is one thing that is both nice and annoying about watercooling stuff...it tends to not really depreciate much at all.

haha... yea... if it hadnt been for him i probably wouldnt be watercooling the next one... although i really need to at my house in summer. hotter than a pig on a roof....

Glad someone can get some good out of one of my errors in judgement for once.

The TT loop I have installed in my AM2 rig is keeping things about 10C over ambient on a full load. Now how long it will last before the copper and aluminum start swapping electrons is another story.

... -_^ They made a kit loop with both aluminum and copper components??? ...I think the worst part is that I'm not really that surprised..it is TT after all.

Just remember guys, one of these days if you keep going down the road you'll be like me, and still have radiators all over the house and tubing in boxes and still trying to plan the perfect loop.

There is no "perfect loop." Merely one better than the last time.

Mod on, brothers. Can't wait to add my own pics in here.
