I'm thinking a ton about watercooling my setup and putting my radiator in the wall, this 4870x2 and q6600 cpu is raping my bedroom with heat... so here's what i have

A-Bit IX38quadGT
Visiontek hd4870x2
Core2Quad 6600
Antec 900.

any help = <3
 
it will be pretty costly for a decent setup... the X2 blocks themselves are about 140 bux.

for a whole kit with all the tubing, fittings, fans etc you're gonna be looking at about 400 bux :eek:
 
for 4870X2 you can buy fullcover of course OR if you dont want spend a lot, you can buy two second handed mcw60 (cost about 60$ for both) and buy longer screws andthis blocks will be fit (I saw this mod somewhere)
 
10$ box fan in the door to your bed room would solve the issue, and winter is coming so you could i dunno, open a window.

Oh, and going to watercooling won't help the heat load your computer puts into your bed room unless you actually put the radiator outside the room, which would require a very large pump because of head loss through the tubing.
 
I'm going to mount the radiator inside my wall and put a cover over it so the heat rises into the attic.
