Im totally new, n interested in wc for oc in the future n getting rid of my dusty room...
im thinking of doing wc on my elite430...

anyone can suggest :-
how to mount it?
can i mount it on outside?
what to buy to make wc?



I thinking of using swiftech MCR-120Q 120mm rad ..n put it external at rear exhaust hole...can I mount it like that? or 2n choice is using 240mm rad MCR240Q n put it external on top of 430 (120 mm fan x2 holes)


here some picture from techpower up..that guys managed to make wc on 430..but he put internal..if can, i want external..so at least, got some space inside for air ventilation...

he using
Ocz Hydroflow CPU Waterblock(AM2)
Swiftech MCR-120QPRES
Thermaltake P500
Zalman GBW3 GPU Waterblock
MasterKleer 3/8" Clear Tube

wow... a bit messy...

Personally i think single rad kit will do
PM ezzydamp/vlad for more info on their single radiator package
I would prefer internal mount for its cleaner appearance over the external mount

yeah...but must be costly i think...have to get rm200+ ready... what about Corsair H50? is that worth my money?

Go buy quad rad and put it outside the case.

That will do but it is not a real water cooling as per say
You will feel a lot more proud if you plan/mod/install your own watercooling

Corsair H50 & 70 they say its just waste of money...

buy better casing

maybe u wanna try for used unit first.. there're few sellers wanting to sell their used wc set at price starting from rm399..
and, yeah dont buy h50 unless u're gonna mod it.. its performance is lower than a megahalem, as far as i experienced..

personally i had tried H50 and megahalem, my advise is DO NOT WASTE YOU MONEY to buy H50, it just a piece of shxt.

customize your own WC or megahelam.

yup h50 is just as good as best aircooler or maybe not so good..
