Black Ice Xtreme Radiator
Danger Den Single 5 1/4" Bay Reservoir
Danger Den UV Tubing

MAZE4 Style Chipset Block [edit: addition]

i feel like i'm missing something from the kit!
i'm attempting to put together a watercooling kit if you haven't noticed. You guys seem to have a lot more experience with this kind of stuff than i do so any recommendations or input would be greatly appreciated.:)

Best list what you have chosen (with links) as carts are session based, so we can't see what you have in yours!

Sorry bout that!

Make sure they all have the correct sized barbs, and get some tubing clamps. Apart from that it looks good. I'd get the TDX though, plus they generally have a deal where if you buy the D5 and TDX you get some money off.

You'll also need some PFTE tape. (And fans for your rad)

Thinking about getting a setup like that myself soon, just wondering how much is that costing you altogether including delivery?

parts are 225 dollars dunno about shipping.

i've added a chipset block to that since earlier though.

Shipping will be expensive and customs will catch you. I discovered that when ordering from DD last year

Doc_Savage · 20-01-2006 2:40pm

do they ship from any other sites?

popular opinion says their stuff is really good anyway!

would you say it was worth it?

WizZard · 20-01-2006 2:47pm

Yeah, they're stuff is fantastic.

www.extremeprometeia.com and www.coolercase.co.uk are stockists in the UK.
Could possibly work out cheaper from the US though, due to the disparity with Sterling/Euro and Dollar/Euro.

If it was me i would get this. and go for the second one as it contains a similar radiator, a good pump and a better waterblock. Price is about 180 euroes and you wont have to pay dear shipping from America. You wont have a chipset block but i would just try and put a larger heatsink on your chipset as i think watercooling is overkill for a chipset.

What about waterchill, any good?
Or even this Gigabyte kit?

add www.over-clock.co.uk to the list.

I just ordered from them an hour ago. My items have been picked packaged and dispatched, I even have a tracking number, less than an hour after ordering

I would not go for the gigabyte one as it is not that good. The swiftech one i linked to is very good especially for the price.

Water cooling advice please
