I am in the process of setting up a new rig, I already have the case, a Black Cooler Master Wave Master, and the plan is to buy a new 939 Motherboard and an A64 when they ship.

I am going to be using some of my existing components, but the core of the system will be from the ground up, I would really like to water cool and have been reading, but as a water noob and the above setup, would a Koolance solution be good enough?

Pricing a Koolance Exos with a CPU-300-H06 is gonna run about $260 give or take. The ease of installation sounds great, but will the performance be enough to really push the system I want to build? I went over to Dangerdens site and priced the custom kit below:


1. Quantity of 1 1 of Item# 8888 - 'Custom Kit:, A64, DDRBX, Lucite, None, None, 1/2 OD, Chrome Fittings, Pro CHROME, Evercool, -, 1250 1/2 Adaptor, 10 ft Tygon, Bay-Res, AS 5 , 4oz Zerex & Dye-Lite, Stainless Steel, 12 Clamps/Y/T' priced at $279.10

As you can see, the price is very close and the components appear better with much more room for growth to include video card and chipset cooling down the road. Now with the Wave Master case, would I physically have enough room for all that stuff and where would the best place to put it go? I have searched high and low for and installed water cooling solution in this case, but havent found any :(

any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks :)
 
according to this sites review Koolance is about as good as the best Air cooling without the noise and is for rookies to water cooling :)

Well DangerDen may be more Hard but Koolance is good enough to make your ships what´s limiting you.

If you are a tweaker get the DangerDen if you just like to use your computer in overclocked state get the Koolance.
 
koolance is if you want zalman-level cooling without the air. it is NOT good watercooling. it is NOT suitible for pushing your chip to its limit, and you WILL pay out the ass for low quality.

also you picked out probabily the most expensive DD setup possible. Get all this and ditch the bayres, if you HAVE to have a res (you dont need a T if youre getting a res) then get the cylinder one or make your own.

* Dtek WhiteWater - $49.99 (DangerDen RBX doesnt touch the pads which REALLY scares me, other than that theyre about the same) from detekcustoms.com
* Supreme Mag-Drive 3 350 GPH - $39.95 from marinedepot.com
* Heatercore from 77 Bonneville, whichever size fits, since youre new youre probabily better off with the double heatercore prebarbed from DD
* 10 feet 1/2" ID 1/8" wall PVC tubing (5233K68) - .57 x 10 = $5.70 from mcmaster.com
* 10 hose clamps, 5/16" width, 7/16"- 25/32" - $3.85 for 10
* T-line - $0.99 at Dtekcustoms.com
* Water Wetter - $3.50 at Dtekcustoms.com
* 2x Evercool fans - $11.99 x 2 = $23.98 at Dtekcustoms.com
 
Kronchev, the only problem with your list is my inability to find a US company that has Whitewater blocks in stock. I'd really like a Cascade but they're currently not in production.
