Water Cooling - What to Buy


Recommended Posts

I have been using the stock cooler for my AMD FX-SERIES CPU FX-6350 x6 and have noticed recently under load my computer just shuts off.. So I downloaded an app to monitor my temps and I saw that I've been hitting a max CPU Temp of around 70-77C and to me, that just seems to be too hot. Now to my question.. I have a pretty nice case and want to look at water cooling my CPU.. maybe even GPU down the line, but for now just the CPU.. The case I have is this.. ULTRA XBlaster Pro U12-42350 Mid-Tower Case and you can view it http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4861147 if you want.. But it looks like it has the ability to take water cooling rather easily.. I just don't know where to start.. Any ideas as to which direction I'm to go here?? Thanks guys/gals..

Get the Corsair 80i. I don't think the 100i can fit in that system.

 

I had my 80i for 6 months now, no issues. It's closed circuit, so no leakage issues.

Looks good.. under $100 too.. I saw some cheaper models.. it's funny though, water cooling has been around a while and I've just now started to really look into it. Huh.

The cheaper models are usually just that, cheaply made.

 

The Corsair models are well made. I know other members on here who use different versions of Corsair water cooling products.
