250watts = amount of heat = energy convert to work...

Xigmatek Elysium is a nice and value case... can install a 480 on top without sacrifice the 5.25 drive bay...

water block nowadays already reach their limit in terms of cooling performance... good block like koolance 370, ek supreme hf, aquacomputer kurplex are very similar in their thermal performance...
the most obvious different feature among this block will be their restrictiveness... less restrictive block will contribute higher flow through whole wc system... in other words will carry the heat faster...
the xspc raystorm now have the best flow among all available block...

i think, the 1st thing is determine how much ur budget and decide ur purpose onto water cooling (some like performance and some want look)...
invest more in radiator, then water block then pump and reservoir...

maybe this will suite u...
xspc 480 rad
value and very good paint job
d5 vario pump
preferable over ddc as less heat and vibration
custom d5 top
ek has better flow but less quality or bitspower
reservoir
ek has many crack cases, bitspower has less fittings mounting option, aquatube will be a nice choice but has lesser coolant volume or bay reservoir harder to breed
water block
3 most hf blocks and very similar thermal performance; ek supreme hf got plating issue even with new en plating, aquacomputer kurplex or the new xspc raystorm people dont like the acrylic mounting... better get copper than nickel plated, as the problem not only with ek and the root problem maybe coolant we used and how it interact with the nickel plate...
tube
tygon expensive, feser or my favorite primochill
compression fittings
bitspower as always or xspc cleaner design and cheaper
just my 2cent, hopefully can served as general guide...

QUOTE(Dennos @ Oct 21 2011, 06:24 PM) got one silly question, Mr A went for a vacation for 2 months. He removed/emptied all the water in the WC before he left. Is he smart? in the end, did he forgot to put in water??? |
