When you get it done, let us (me) know how noisey it is. I've been pondering ways to water cool my subwoofer motors to keep away the ugly heat gremlins. Water cooling does look to be a bit expensive though.

I got it roughly priced a little over $200. I'm doing a bit of custom stuff though.

Only buy the specialty blocks.Get the pump from an aquarium store. And even that is overpriced. Go to a plumbing wholesale supply house. Grainger would have what you need.

Oh I'm going to have to look into this water cooling a bit more. Now I am a bit intrigued. You could even place the radiator in a minifridge to cool parts down, but not too much or else condensation could build up.

If you want quiet, get an aquarium pump. I have one on my 75 gallon tank, and it is absolutely silent.

Is it safe to pump propylene glycol (anti-freeze) through those, or should a person just stick with Water Wetter? With those Cu waterblocks, some kind of anti-corrosion additive is a must.

You should be fine. The seals on most of these pumps arn't sensitive rubber.I'm wondering what you guys are getting for temps. I'm aircooled and hovering within 3 degrees of ambient

Your CPU is 3 above ambient while under a load?! What do you have for cooling fans?
 Most importantly how LOUD is it?

I'm using the NZXT Tempest with a ZEROtherm Nirvana NV120Currently running a X2 5400+. Just overclocked to 3.1GHz. The temp I quoted was idle. Stock temps I've hit maybe 100degrees while gaming. Room temp raises to like 80 degrees. LOL. OCed it's a degree or two higher

My current computer has an Athlon64 3400 or 3800. During the winter, ambient temp is 88-95º depending on what wood we're burning at the time. Keeping CPU temps down while gaming is tough. My new comp I want it to stay cool and quiet...while using a Phenom 9950.
