hi..
im looking a WC kit that can cool my proc n GC..
but it has to be bit small i think,
coz i'm using a centurion casing,
and it'll be troublesome if i get a big WC & have to put it outside the case,
because i'm a student, n if i wana move my pc anywhere,thats a problem.. rclxub.gif

don't know bout budgets,coz i've seen many brands selling cheap,n some VERY expensive..
dats why need some recommendations. rclxm9.gif

if you want to move your PC, water cooling is not recommended.
Stick with air cooling.

Cheap water cooling doesn't offer satisfying performance too.

Agree here... poor WC kit is useless as compared to nice air cooling stuffs...

it is proven with my own experience as well....

last time used Bigwater SE for both CPU and GPU cooling ... but the result was beaten by my current Thermalright SI-120 by par .. a drop of further few more degrees during idle while the load condition is lower by a degree or two.

The hassle of maintaining the WC is not advisable at all.. especially when moving around the PC....

Agree about that after going off for high end air cooling.. thumbup.gif

Thanks to u and thermalright for making my life easier.... wub.gif

VGA cooler wise i used Artic Cooling Acclero X2 before and perform well with silence but not top notch in term of performance. (sold 2nd hand with the card to forumer)

Currently using stock cooler from HIS known as IceQ 4 which perform very well but nosier by par. however not as loud as stock cooler of other ATI card manufacturer.

P/S: as for cpu cooler anything from thermalright perform well but availability is problem and price would be vary.

RLHH is a professional bulker for Thermalrights products la bro...

Where the hell is RLHH? blink.gif

My advise, if u're budget is low, then go for air cooling...

But if u have a budget of RM400 and above, go ask for a watercooling set from Metalzone...

He's watercooling set is much much better than CM Aquagate, and Thermaltake Bigwater... thumbup.gif

Metalzone's Basic Watercooling set is much much better than the Gigabyte Water Cooling kit...

Yeah, styloe's right...

Air cooling is still the best way to cool down you're pc... rclxms.gif

Watercooling can be very risky if u want to move you're pc around alot... sweat.gif

my opinion

CPU cooler get xp120 bundle with a good fan(cools ur cpu also ur mobo)

chipset cooler ermmm maybe pc cooler cheap also nice very effective(zalman rippoff)hehe

GPU cooler,as shawty said thermalright HR03 is the best but unless u have a 1900XTX just get zalman VF700 is enuff.

My motto is spend my moneyflies.gif moneyflies.gif wisely just get wat i need and get more bang for my buck.If u can afford highend stuff u shouldnt have any problems buying the items shawty quoted.

Then, if you're going for HR-01 for the processor heatsink, use all HR models heatsink for you're whole cpu... tongue.gif

Thermalright HR-01 - For Processor
Thermalright HR-03 - For VGA Card
Thermalright HR-05 - For Chipset

It's complete package, trust me, it's gonna look wonderful in you're CPU... wub.gif
