I need lots of info about this, mostly, how dangerous is it for your system. Does it often leak? Is there a way to keep it from leaking, or to keep it from short out the Mobo?

I need a more powerfull cooling unit, and I've been leaning towards watercooling for a long time...just haven't been brave enough to take the step.

Also, what are good brands?

Thanks!

Been running water cooling now for a couple of years and i got to say it does make a big difference on temps and most of all noise, as my pc is in my room and running 24/7 i wanted to go for a nice quite option.

As long as you take care and watch what your doing it's pretty safe, all pipes are well secured but i would suggest if there is going to be a weak point have it out side the case and the case elevated off the ground, This way if the pipes get pulled the weak point out side the case goes and all the water will flow to the floor so your pc stays safe.

You can knok together a nice custom reg for a small price if you have the time, plus it's more fun putting your kit together your self.

I use a large!! resivour so that radiator fans are not realy needed most of the time, with this config i get a core temp of 37-38c on a ath xp 2100+ with very little noise. I have also been able to get the cpu to speed of a 2600+ with only a rise to 41-42c.

Over all it's a very worth while thing if you want to cut your noise down and improve on temps.

Any more q's m8 and i will be more than happy to help ya, know of a whole load of places you can buy the bits and get info if your still interested in considering the option of water cooling.
