Hello,

In the near future, It will be time for an upgrade, I want to get liquid cooling in my new PC.

Putting it together shouldn't be too hard, I am just wondering what a good combo of parts would be. I don't really want to get an extreme high end liquid cooler, I just want to get my feet wet with a first time liquid cooling rig. I just want CPU cooling, not the whole shabang.

I will want to use my CPU from my current computer which is a C2D E6300 1.86 Ghz. I will also want to overclock, nothing huge but at least 3.0 Ghz.

Also, What is a good overclocking motherboard that is fairly cheap? I also want SLI as an option if I ever want to go for it.

Also, What is a liquid cooling friendly case? I like the Antec 182.


This is the kit I am thinking of getting. This will be my first time liquid cooling so it's not that bad or not extreme haxor.

Not bad at all... But I'd suggest getting an MCP655 pump instead of the db-1 if you plan on upgrading anything in the future! The DB1 is a great pump... for a single block loop only :)

Oh, and try ordering from Directcanada.com if you can! Much cheaper, and waaay faster shipping IMO (they share a warehouse with NCIX, so they're very inexpensive).
