Water Cooling?

[White]

Well i'm about to spend almost $500 on a Radeon X1900XTX and have been looking at my cooling options, since the stock fan, like most of them, doesn't cool the card off well...

I've pretty much made up my mind and am planning on taking the plunge and am going to buy a water cooling system and was curious if anyone has any suggestions on which one I should buy...

I have a full tower case BTW, so room is basically not an issue...

So if anyone on here is an enthusiest enough to have a water cooling system, have any reccomendations?

Think about it like this.

If the stock heatsink fan couldn't cool down the card at stock settings, it'd burn off and cause major problems, and people wouldn't buy them anymore, and more over, they'd probably get sued. And probably go out of business entirely.

Stock is completely and perfectly and absolutely and wonderfuly fine for normal usage. Additional cooling maybe needed when you overclock, but then, if you were overclocking and knew exactly why you were doing it and how you were going to do that, then you wouldn't ask in the first place.

So. Do you want the watercooling, or do you need watercooling? If want, then go with a kit for now that comes with all the parts and instructions, doesn't really matter which brand for now (because they're all entry products, higher ends are for clued enthusiasts who already know the market, and are sold individually). If need, you don't.

I am sorry that is simply not true. Lorentzforce made a valid point. A VERY valid point.

I highly doubt you are going to do any overclocking, so you should be fine.
