Watercooling

[Fistandantilis]

What is the best and inexpensive type of watercooling for a 1900XT. I am not all to concerned with my AMD 3500+ temps but I suspect a loop that contains chip and GPU would be a good idea.
thanks

id go with this: (since you were talking about a cpu/gpu loop)

cpu: swiftech apogee
gpu: danger den acetal maze4 <=====
pump: danger den d5
radiator: bipII

What ^ he said,

just get the Apex kit. Comes with everything you will need, then throw in a GPU block and you're set.

why? If his cpu temps are fine, why buy extra stuff. Here is what I would do

Single 120mm rad 3/8 Barbs
Used pump somewhere or a DDC12
Used GPU Block
Tline.

Don't waste your money if you don't want to W/C your CPU. You can find the above for under 100$ if you go used.

cuz the cost of making a GPU only WCing rig is not worth it. For another $40 you can grab an Apogee and cool your CPU too...

Heh, once he starts water cooling he will want to cool his cpu too...

Thanks, ya I really just want to be able to keep my new 1900XT cool AND quite. once the fan starts moving on these cards it can make some noise.
I may or may not want to water cool the cpu but one thing is for sure...I want to watercool the GPU, the card runns great but it getts hot fast.

but then he has to take out the MOBO, take of the heatsink, which for some like me Scythe ninja is a bitch to mount, costs more, and has to sell old heatsink. For some its not worth it.
