Basic Water Cooling?

I am looking to do a water cooled system for my girlfriend. It won’t be hevily OC’d or anything but I want it to be very quiet and reliable. So for instance I don’t want it to leak or have the pump go out. I’d like it to be mostly contained inside the case. But I am ok with a radiator attached to the back or top of the case. I don’t want one of those cooling towers though.



Any recommendations?

I think Thermal Take has a kit (not sure I would have to do some digging) that fits right inside the case.

What is your budget?

That will determine a lot.

Swiftech has a god kit or two. So does DangerDen for that fact. If you are looking for mostly stock speed and voltage, TT will probably be good as well.

I use a Thermaltake Kandalf LCS which does a good job and runs quiet.

3X120mm radiator, 500L/H pump and a good copper waterblock.
