Where do I start.. Well, I'm a newbie to the whole water cooling thing, and never really thought about it until I seen Linus' "Ultimate Overkill Water Cooled Build" video. So, I am now interested in building a new computer to fit my gaming needs. I do not plan on water cooling this build until next summer, around August, so a year from now. I just want to get an idea of what I need to water cool my build. These are my spec's of the new build, and I need a part list for water-cooling it :) All help is much appreciated.

The thing is, I don't know the first place to look. 

 

As _ASSASSIN_ mentioned you can look at the stickies on the LTT forums, something I'd recommend doing as well is looking for people who have done similar builds to yours either on google or here *cough* Define R4 *cough*  :ph34r:

Oh you mean ordering the components?

Assuming your name is not a lie and you are in fact from Canada I'd say NCIX, FrozenCPU and Dazmode are good places to start looking for components.

 

edit: If I remember this right there should also be a "where to buy" section in one of the stickies.

Here are 3 places i order my water cooling items from :

 

http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=index&zenid=f4b5af26c6612b1aa3ce968123bb61df

 

http://www.frozencpu.com/

 

http://www.aquatuning.us/index.php

 

Just look around. all the sites tend to have better or worse prices.

But like @For said NCIX and Dazmode are good also. I just found them a bit expensive.

Yes, I am Canadian. The one thing that's hard for me, and I am limited to very few sites to order from. You see, I need to order to P.O box, and most sites use something other than Canada Post, which is the only mailing service to provide support for P.O boxes.

Ah I see, sadly can't really help you with that since I live on the other side of the Atlantic.

well you got about 10months of time and many avenues of research to go by.

the pinned posts at the top of water cooling section are full of valuable information

on what you'll need, what components needed and this section of 10months of

topics to fill your knowledge void.
