I've just ordered a Thermaltake Tai Chi, I'm wanting to get watercooling for my GPU. I don't want the Tai Chi stock cooling for the GPU, only the processor. It's going in my Vista build, so it will be on a DX10 card which would probably come with air but want something cooler (It gets very hot were I live). I was looking at something along the lines of the Tide Water, but have heard a few bad reviews on it's size and price (two pci slots is a bit much).
Does anybody know of any liquid cooling similar to this. Links, thoughts reveiws are all good. :)
 
Not sure if this is what you were looking for but I would go with an NV-78 or Koosah (I think that's the name) from dangerden. Their service is great and generally just a good company overall. They've taken such good care of me that I just kind feel obligated to throw them out there when people ask about water cooling solutions.
 
I'll keep that in mind. :p It does look good but it's not exactly what I was looking for.
Something like this just less bulky... I don't want the stock liquid cooling on the GPU as I've seen it kink, and I want it to look more tidy. Other options are what I am looking for. I'm sure this wouldn't be the only choice in this type of cooling.... :confused:
 
I'm pretty sure there aren't any other all in one solutions for the video card. I'm not even sure how good the stock water cooling on that case is, as it's a ThermalTake product, and they aren't known for their super great water cooling. If you have the money available, I would really look into a custom build. It can be very rewarding in the long run, and it will perform better.
 
just put together a custom setup for your gpu. get a cheap pump, single rad and a gpu block and you're set. then just run dual loops. one for your cpu and one for your gpu

Yes, It's not the best, but it will do for my first watercooling trial, after a year or so I would replace it, It's the case I want, and an extra $100 for watercooling sounds like a deal, but you only get what you pay for I suppose...

I'm thinking of modding the tai chi case, I might add a window on the top... I haven't seen any detailed mods on this case.

hmm... thats not a bad idea, the case would certainly have plenty of room. And I've seen the holes on the back for future cooling options. I'll think about that.

Thanks Guys. :p

More input is appreciated :)
 
You could consider getting the Tai-Chi case without their watercooling gear and mounting your own instead.
 
Ah, sorry, I missed that you'd already ordered it. It might be possible to buy another block for the GPU and add it into the loop that comes with the case.
