Barton 2500

Abit nf7s 2.0

R9700 pro

2x256 Corsair XMS 3500

I like dangerden stuff but the white water will mop it up.

I personally like to have h20 in seperate container, helps to keeps temps lower.

Unless you have room for the Chevette/DTek/DangerDen heatercore. Black ice are good for limited room and/or easy bolt-ins in cases that have 120mm fans stock. But the heatercores own the flow and cooling numbers.

I'm with Matt here. Grab the White water and a heater core from D-tek. I grabbed two for like $19 a piece in their clearance section. The paint had a few bleeds but who cares, it still cools. As for a pump I use the Swiftech MCP-600. I had a Danner 3, but after seeing one too many reports of spontaneous cracking I grabbed this. It's right up there with an Iwaki MD15R performance wise. If you want a kit you can put one together at Dtek with a WW for a decent price. I say build it from pieces though.

Via Aqua1300 pump: $23 http://www.dtekcustoms.com/product.asp?0=206&1=229&3=33
Unpainted Dtek Pro combo Heatercore: $47 http://www.dtekcustoms.com/product.asp?0=205&1=228&3=17
Evercool chrome fan: $5 (while supplies last)http://www.dtekcustoms.com/product.asp?3=66
Dtek Whitewater AMD mount waterblock: $65 http://www.dtekcustoms.com/product.asp?3=106
10' of 1/2" Clearflex tubing: $15 http://www.dtekcustoms.com/product.asp?0=207&1=217&3=94
Hose clamps and "T" fitting(1/2"): $9 http://www.dtekcustoms.com/subcatmfgpro ... 8&2=-1&6=1
Supercoolant: $4 http://www.dtekcustoms.com/product.asp?0=221&1=233&3=40

Total: $168 + shipping

That's going with a cheaper and slightly noisier pump. I greatly prefer the Eheim 1250. The Swiftech MCP300 and 600 are both experiencing problems. The MCP300 has leaking and total failure issues. The MCP600 is starting to show up with problems (see last post on page 2) . I was looking at the MCP600, but now I'm going to wait and see.

I used Purple Ice in my first batch along with a couple oz. of Prestone. Now I used the Zerex/DTek Supercoolant. I heard too many people complaining about the smell of Waterwetter.

Same here. I used Purple Ice but switched to Zerrex RSC. WW tends to leave a naty residue on your tubing.
