Hi guys

I'm currently in the process of researching items for a new build and I'm considering watercooling.

After finding the motherboard I like the spec of, I wondered what cooling options there were. I first of all considered air-cooled, but some of the heatsinks are incredibly large and the motherboard I chose, the Asus Striker Extreme, seems a little cramped to install them on (one heatsink review I read said that when installing it on the Striker Extreme, they had to 'bend' some of the fins to accomodate it). So my attentions turned to watercooling.

Unfortunately I am a beginner when it comes to watercooling, as I have been a sceptic of mixing water and computers(!), but as I read more, I'm finding it increasingly the better option, namely performance, but also asthetics.

So after looking for water cooling solutions, I came across the following forum:

Which showed (I think) two different setups for the Striker Extreme, and after squinting at some of the images, I made out the AQUACOMPUTER logo on one of the waterblocks, and here I am.

My question is, does anybody know what components are used in TurricanM3's post to replace the heatsinks surrounding the CPU? And also what waterblocks are used for the CPU/Chipset/RAM?

I'll probly use 2 x BFG 8800GTX cards with the in-built waterblocks for the Graphics, so GPU waterblocks won't be neccessary.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi there,

Thanks for the info.

Do you have any suggestions for an external radiator?
