    Hello!!

    Im looking for some advice on water cooling! Im completely new to it so any help would be appreciated!

    Ive been thinking about purchasing the following...
    CPU-300-V10 (CPU), [10mm, 3/8"]
    Exos-2, Black [10mm, 3/8"]

    Just a couple of questions about this... Are these two compatible with one another from what I see they are both have 10mm tubing...:confused:

    also im pretty sure it is compatible with my board nForce 680i SLI 775
    Would it be worth buying northbridge and south bridge water blocks?? Any advantages for overclocking... :confused:
    My reason for wanting water cooling is just for lower CPU temp and something that looks good :D ... Im not really fussed about noise !

    Cheers ! ;)

    If you really do want to go with watercooling, make sureyou have the patience of a saint. And it will completly wreck your head.... Big time..

    But if you are going to go down this route i would reccomend you forget about the all in 1 kits. They are usually ****e.

    This:

    http://www.watercoolingshop.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=25&products_id=525

    Is a high end kit, and you can change the components of it. I would reccomend you going for a tripple rad as you want to cool the whole motherboard.

    Also to answer your earlier question, yes watercooling the Nb and SB + cpu will considerably lower the temps, and allow you a much higher overclock.

    And make sure you do not go for red coolant. The stuff ends up pink.... Trust me :(

    That would be a nice setup. And not to expensive either. Just make sure you get a ass load of tubing. Last thing you want to do is run out.
